All Ed. workers have the right to refuse unsafe work. If ever there was a time, it’s now. What’s the process? We asked a labour lawyer to give us the straight goods. While this is an individual process, there is still strength in numbers. #RefuseUnsafeWork #COVID19SK
Please read and share. The @SaskTeachersFed has also shared information in the process. Be strong and know that your refusal may save lives.

A YXE teacher is concerned by extremely high rates of absenteeism and sickness among students:

I’m in my 25th year of teaching and I’ve never witnessed so much illness among students in my career. My students had high rates of absenteeism in September when many had COVID.
1
At least 50% of my students missed at least 3 days in September. Some missed more than a week of school. When kids started to fall ill at the start of November, I assumed it was the next COVID wave. Every day for two weeks 8-12 kids were missing and it hit nearly all kids.
2
Learning continuity has been impossible to maintain. Learning gaps seem inevitable, especially since the funding shortfall has caused cuts to EAs and supports for students. Is this our new reality? Every 2-3 months students are out sick in droves?

We’re going to share messages from teachers who are seeing abnormally high rates of absenteeism and sickness among there students. Here’s one send over a week ago:

As a Regina high school teacher, I haven't seen this level of illness in my 25 years of teaching. 1
Some is covid, but there also seems to be a lot of bronchitis, mono, colds, etc. People don't seem to make the connection that having a covid infection can negatively affect your immune system and then you are more likely to get sick with these other non-covid illnesses. 2
I teach biology and health science and I'm honestly horrified at how few people (both students and staff) are masking, even when they are obviously sick. I've managed to avoid covid so far through a mixture of n95 masking, managing risk and pure luck. 3

School divisions have been left in the unenviable position of having to make public health decisions that fall far outside of their expertise. There is no consistency or transparency.

Families and school staff deserve to know how many cases are in their school.
1/7
There should be thresholds that trigger certain measures, and every stakeholder should know what those thresholds & measures are.
Instead of a predictable, transparent set of measures, our government opted for no plan. They opted for chaos. They opted to keep us in the dark. 2/7
This will not be our last wave, but let’s work together to make sure this is our last wave without these things:

🟠 N95s for students and staff
🟠 Transparent public documentation of air quality reports for each classroom. Clean air must be our minimum standard for schools. 3/7

Long 🧵 if a message in our inbox:

I writing this in a DM as we have not shared with many people that one of our 3 children was diagnosed in the end of November with autism. This has been a battle for 10 years to try and sort out. We thought things were finally coming 1/
together, we got a diagnosis and the right doors were finally opening. In early December our daughter became a close contact at school and we had to cancel all her different therapy appointments.
We skipped Christmas with all our families in the hope of keeping everyone safe 2/
and healthy. We made that choice because that's what was recommended. Unfortunately, because it was never mandated to reduce gathering sizes nor a delayed start back to school, the second day back she was considered a close contact again. We had to cancel all her appointments 3/

This is a thread about the current state of education in the city of Saskatoon. We have been asked by a teacher to share this anonymously.

1.) The SHA @SaskHealth is not tracking cases at schools besides those that are done with a PCR through the health region.
2.) Parents no longer have any way to know how many cases are in a school b/c most cases are found through rapid test
3.) Cases reported differently in SDs. One reports all known cases in a daily letter to entire school community. The other sends them to impacted classes only.
4.) Attendance is apparently down by 15-25%
5.) Teachers are trying to deliver in-person and online content b/c of parental pressure and b/c teachers don't want their students falling behind. Doing both is time consuming and impossible.
