Hey #OntEd and #OnPoli, can we talk? I see a lot of people wondering why we're striking, what's it all about, is it all about the money, and so on, especially with an all-in one-day strike next Friday. Once I'm done I'll say Ask Me Anything. Let's tackle that money one first.
No, it's not all about a raise. 2% is great, and would be about in line with cost-of-living, and that's a basic thing that every single person who earns a wage should get.

Hey #OntEd, let’s do the math. We know about @Sflecce giving compensation to parents for the strikes. What does the amount to?
Total paid out on avg. per class per year:
25x26x194 = $126,100.
I can’t find a solid number quoted in the news for an average #ETFO teacher salary but if we treat it in the order of the number ascribed to #OSSTF’s $92k, this amount paid out by the ministry is 37% higher than the teacher salary.
