"B.C. School Trustees Association president Stephanie Higginson said there doesn’t appear to be any benefit to changing the length of winter break to keep kids out of school."

"Teachers' Human Rights Are Being Violated!

On December 10th, the world celebrates Human Rights Day.
"...Yet I am speaking out as government is violating Teachers' Human Rights by denying their right to safety and exposing them to mental and physical harm. The work that teachers do is incredible, BC’s educational system is looked upon as tops."
"...This astonishing achievement thanks to the tireless and for years undervalued work of BC teachers putting up with underfunded schools. The impact of now almost 20 year underfunding, is extremely severe due to Covid."

Shared anonymously by a BC teacher:

"I just got Covid, 100% from the school according to the contact tracing. I was the second one in our cohort to get it. There are several students confirmed positive so far in the last 10 days" ...
"...half the cohort is away today, some as a precaution and the rest just won’t respond. We have heard from parents that other students have tested positive since then but we are still waiting for any confirmation from Fraser Health."...
"...Fraser Health hasn’t even sent out an email about me, a teacher, contracting the virus, and there have been more confirmed cases since - still no official word..."

This is from the Toronto Health Department re singing and playing of wind instruments both indoors and outdoors:

"Toronto Public Health recommends that singing and the playing of wind instruments both indoors and outdoors be cancelled for the present time."
However, if they must continue:

"In accordance with the Grey lockdown regulation of the provincial Reopening Ontario Act, every person who is singing or playing both indoors and outdoors must be separated by plexiglass or another impermeable barrier..."
"...and a two metre distance must be maintained for teaching and instruction (no exceptions).

o If there is not plexiglass or an impermeable barrier, they should be cancelled for the
immediate future. Virtual options can continue..."
