Have you ever tried finding a suitable baby sitter of day-care for a child in 72 hours? These so called "Teachers" (Terrorists) have No regard for children or thier safe/well being Quote
Topaz Posted November 29, 2012 Report Posted November 29, 2012 IF I were one of these parents, I take my kids out of the public schools and sent them to other schools. Many schools have settled ,so why has these others? Quote

Good policy comes from an analysis of options, comparison of options and selection of one option that works best in the current situation. This option is often a compromise between ideologies.

MiddleClassCentrist Posted December 5, 2012 Report Posted December 5, 2012 Yes you can. Not elementary, needs to be baptised Catholic. Secondary is a free for all.

MiddleClassCentrist Posted December 5, 2012 Report Posted December 5, 2012 Note: Media outlets again are misreporting this issue. OSSTF cancelled negotiations because Laurel Broten tossed out locally negotiated agreements. The Ministry of Education has been changing signed tentative agreements and sending them back. These agreements are getting tossed out as not part of the bargained deal. 1984 is now. Media is running a blitz against teachers through misreporting of information. Truth is not getting reported. Apparently, it is only the big union bosses that are the problem. The union bosses negotiated contracts. The rank and file teachers did not ratify in York and Niagara because of the excessive powers the ministry has to change deals agreed upon at the local board level.

Merlin Posted December 5, 2012 Report Posted December 5, 2012 Yes you can. If they have space. No you cannot. Only Catholics can go to Catholic elementary school. 1/2 hour of Catholic religion class a day plus the first four sacraments are done in Catholic elementary school(other than baptism which is done as an infant). Catholic elementary school runs to grade 8. There is no middle school for Catholics. The next sacrament is marriage so it largely doesn't affect high school aged children which is why I suspect they open it up to anyone as long as they show respect for the Catholic religion and take the required religion classes.

Boges Posted December 5, 2012 Report Posted December 5, 2012 So the media is misrepresenting the memo released by the Union threatening $500/day fines for anyone that doesn't tow the Union line of Complete Work to Rule? Quote
cybercoma Posted December 5, 2012 Report Posted December 5, 2012 Well when I went to Catholic grade school many, many years ago, there were non-Catholic students there. Looking into it, non-Catholics typically aren't allowed, but there are special provisions in some of the boards. I'm not sure what those "special provisions" are, but there was without a doubt non-Catholics in my Catholic grade school. Quote

Didn't the teachers in some boards overwhelmingly reject a ratification vote? how is that the government's problem? Quote

jacee Posted December 6, 2012 Report Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) Sources told The Globe and Mail that most Liberal MPPs are reticent to heat up the battle with teachers over the controversial Bill 115. But the Premier is one of a handful of hawks, also said to include Education Minister Laurel Broten, more disposed toward using the powers granted by that legislation to thwart plans for a series of rotating one-day strikes. http://m.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/mcguinty-pushing-to-block-ontario-teachers-walkouts/article6016515/?service=mobile McGuinty's credibility is about zero right now, so I think he's foolish to be threatening anyone. He's dangerous though because he has nothing to lose - he's already ruined his career and apparently lost the support of many Liberal MP's. If he can't get their support in the Legislature, he shouldn't be going behind their back to slam teachers and break negotiated contracts. They're one day strikes, not a big deal.

Boges Posted December 6, 2012 Report Posted December 6, 2012 They're one day strikes, not a big deal. I guess they aren't because Laurel Broten is allowing One-Day strikes even though she can intervene. Quote

Boges Posted December 6, 2012 Report Posted December 6, 2012 BTW it is a big deal for parents to have to pay for alternative child-care. Quote
Fletch 27 Posted December 6, 2012 Author Report Posted December 6, 2012 The austerity measures imposed by these Unions strike far to hard at the average Joe.. The Hypocrasy of the left is deafening..... Quote
MiddleClassCentrist Posted December 6, 2012 Report Posted December 6, 2012 I'd like to note. The Minister of Education can declare strike illegal under Bill 115. But she can't stop political protest. Political protest is a democratic right. Under Mike Harris, the weeks of walkout weren't strikes. They were political protests. Quote Ideology does not make good policy.

jacee Posted December 7, 2012 Report Posted December 7, 2012 BTW it is a big deal for parents to have to pay for alternative child-care. Yes it is.But it happens a few days a year - PD days etc. This is one of those days. Quote
