Research shows that students taught by unionized teachers do much better than students taught by non-unionized teachers. Don't let facts get in the way of your ignorance.

I am close to completing my education degree. I have spent many years volunteering in many classrooms. i talk regularly with educational experts and professors of education who tell me all the latest great things happening in education. im a staunch teachers union supporter and have been at many rallies with union members. if there is a strike in ontario this summer i will walk the picket line with my edu colleagues supporting teachers and the public education system the same way 99% of the public supports teachers. that's what i know and do. how bout you?

The only thing you add to this discussion on the great merits of public education is useless ignorance. Let us know when you formulate something intelligent to add to the discussion.

I don't give a rat's ass what you buy. When we discuss public education we are in my field of expertise. Talking about public education with know-nothings like you is similar to discussing flying with a chicken.

wyly you must have been eeducated at public schools. i can tell by the high level of thought and intelligence you exhibit. are you a teacher?

Anyone who sends their kids to private schools are off their rockers.

prove it. if it was true there would be outrage. everyone who graduates has to earn it. giving zeros like that fool teacher in alberta gives all teachers a bad rap.

First time I heard of Brian Lilley. But he does make a lot of sense if you really think and listen to what he is saying. Actually that video more or less backs up some of the items I was talking about. But if you are ok with the state co-parenting (and it can be considered as such in a technical term) are they going to take responsibility if and when their co-parenting fails? No they will blame YOU the parent for the educational system failures and the teaching failures. You will celebrate the kids victories together, you as a parent and them as the educational state but you as a parent will bear sole responsibility for their failures. that sunnews piece makes no sense. its a hatchet job. i posted it to show the ignorance of the typical neo-con attitude about public education. they scare you with make believe stories and people like you with poor critical thinking sklls eat it up. brian lilley has no clue the tough job public educators have in trying to create a just society. thank goodness no one watches sun news.

your post is full of generalizations. explain how things have been dumbed down or give actual proof. if not quit making up lies about the public education system. sunnews is trying to do a hatchet job on education. too bad no one watches that dumb channel. you want to see ridiculous then watch this nonsense. http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/video/featured/prime-time/867432237001/the-tdsbs-war-on-the-family/1764634878001

do you even know what you are talking about? you seem confused.

I'm sorry that you have no knowledge of public education. that truly saddens me. public education helps make everyone equal. why are you against that?

This is not the 1800s. with great public schools everywhere homeschooling is plain wrong because we dont know what kind of bad things those kids will learn at home. force all kids into public schools so everyone can have an equal education. some parents take their kids out of certain classes as it is. that is wrong. public schools are inclusive. why should parents be allowed to take their kids out of sex education in ontario? answer that.

Wow, your views are scary. Kids can be taught all kinds of crap at home and you are ok with that. That freaks me out.

i'm surprised at how wrong you are. why do many neo-con parents homeschool. you can call me names or whatever ives you your jollies but you need to think about what you write. if you are not in the public education system then your comments dont have any backing. tell me what i preach? take a look at how the swedes are dealing with homeschoolers for a real life example. do some research before you speak your non knowing crapola.

I am calling on all provincial governments to make homeschooling illegal in all provinces much the same way as the great country of Sweden is doing. Public school for all students is needed to maintain a healthy democracy. it's scary to think what some parents might be teaching their kids at home. government run public schools make education equal for all and there is no hate, bigotry, or intolerance being taught at public schools. we need to get kids into government run daycares by the age of 1 so that their minds can be molded correctly. the less influence parents have the better society will be. we dont know what kinds of bad things kids learn at homes. this country cannot afford to lose teachers because of homeschoolers. i am glad to see even backwards Alberta is doing some great things to make homeschooling harder. im glad that the ndp in manitoba are thinking about taking the recommendation of manitobas teacher union to not allow parents to keep their kids of so-called sensitive but very important classes. mcguinty has been doing great things to advance public schools. im not pleased with his latest negotioations. his minister laurel broten needs to ease up. i could care less if ontario is in debt. cutting back on education to save the province a few bucks is dead wrong. PUBLIC EDUCATION=PROPER DEMOCRACY.

If teachers are going to get screwed around and not be treated fairly then going on strike during the school year is the only way to et the public's attention. You don't know anything about bargaining so don't try to pretend to be an expert.

I have one more semester then I will be a public school teacher. You make an ignorant remark so you must be jealous. Public schools are changing. I want to be part of that change and have kids exposed to my views of social justice and environmental issues.

if the Liberals don't give teachers what we deserve then there will be a strike. we are tired of governments who have no clue what we have to go through. mcguinty better quickly realize how much support the teachers in ontario gave him in this last election. thank goodness we have awesome teacher unions in this province looking out for teachers and students. i'm disgusted. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/start-of-ontarios-school-year-in-jeopardy-if-labour-talks-stall/article4449756/

yeah. real good. cut important services and people like you celebrate. this cpc government is destroying my Canada.

i will be a hih school history and other stuff teacher next year. i cant wait.

I need this information for school. where can i find a cite of these stats? thanks in advance.

what a foolish post. some people amaze me with their lack of intellect. good thing your faith in mankind is restored.

isn't that the only way the right wing nuts can argue wyly. these people don't deal with facts. ban guns legalize all drugs and watch crime evaporate. my home is a gun free home and i'm proud to have that sign displayed in my window.

i agree. legalize ALL drugs and watch crime decrease rapidly. it's the drugs that cause crime. sometimes i think me and you wyly are the only ones here with common sense.

exactly. probably entitled baby boomers these people are. boomers are the ones responsible for destroying the environment.
