Ottawa teachers Refuse To Take a Pay Cut? Yet they claim Doug Ford is to Blame – April 6, 2019,
Allow me to make my position on this topic very, very clear. Firstly, as a father, I’d rather work 3 jobs until I’m dead and have several insurance policies in place in the event I am dead than to have my children ever attend a public school in Ontario. I’m dead serious when I say this. If you’re unimpressed with my writing style blame the public school teachers that taught me nothing. I hated every moment of public school in Ontario, it was an estrogen fest, even the male teachers, for the most part, were beta males. You can’t stand up to the public school system because they assume that they know it all.
Whenever the public schools get more funding the teachers grant themselves a pay raise, the money the public has been paying into the school system has always been more than enough to fix the problems, the real issue is how the money is being spent. It’s extremely important that people understand what tenure is and what it signifies.
Tenure = give (someone) a permanent post, especially as a teacher or professor.
Not that the above is established, I want people to also understand what a tenured appointment is and how it works.
A tenured appointment is an indefinite academic appointment that can be terminated only for cause or under extraordinary circumstances, such as financial exigency or program discontinuation. Tenure is a means of defending the principle of academic freedom, which holds that it is beneficial for society in the long run if scholars are free to hold and examine a variety of views.
Understanding Academic freedom
Academic freedom is the conviction that the freedom of inquiry by faculty members is essential to the mission of the academy as well as the principles of academia, and that scholars should have freedom to teach or communicate ideas or facts (including those that are inconvenient to external political groups or to authorities) without being targeted for repression, job loss, or imprisonment.
If after reading the above you can’t comprehend why public school teachers push for collectivist ideologies you clearly can’t see why they’re wasteful with public spending. What tenure does is it minimizes innovation, for me public education as it currently stands in Ontario is demonic in nature. I consider public schools one of the evilest institutions in Canada. The fact that teachers, educators would agree with tenure tells me that I will never send my children to a public school.
Doug Ford is trying to introduce school choice and the truth is that these teachers aren’t losing their jobs, they’re going to have to compete for their jobs, if Ontarians aren’t understanding what’s been happening it’s that these teachers feel entitled to their public positions. Now obviously the major news outlets like the CBC are going to try and present this as Doug Ford firing teachers, when in fact it’s far from the truth, school choice means more jobs I’m closing in on 50 years old and some of the people in my age bracket have never been able to find a job as a public school teacher, no… it’s not because they’re not good school teachers it’s because of tenure!
Whenever more money goes into the public school system guess who gives themselves a pay raise? If you guessed the public school teachers you’d be correct, the public schools aren’t falling apart because enough money isn’t being given to public education, the schools are falling apart because of how the money is spent.
Now imagine combining teachers with tenure and public sector union?
“If you need savings, you don’t do it on the backs of children,” said Elizabeth Kettle, Ottawa’s local president of the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario.
The above quote comes from a CBC article that you can click to read below:

What is the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario?
The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario is a Labour union. Labour unions are focused not on the Elementary school children a Labour union is an association of workers in a particular trade, industry, or company created for the purpose of securing improvement in pay, benefits, working conditions or social and political status through collective bargaining and working conditions through the increased bargaining power wielded by creation of a monopoly of the workers.
Now, where in the above explaination do you see children? they’re the after thought in all of this, that’s why again I will never, ever send my children to a public school. I’ll be voting for the People’s Party of Canada, but I give credit where credit is due, thank you Doug Ford for figting against these demonic people, they’re evil, they’re selfish the children are second to these people and their money comes first. I have no problem with people forming trade or labor unions in the private sector. But i’m against labour unions in the public sector especailly when it comes to teaching young children. Great job Doug Ford keep up the great fantasitc work.
interesting times ahead!
