ICYMI. If @nsgov could spare some of their laser focus on virtual doctors working for private companies, we'd like them to join us in supporting @NSTeachersUnion members and properly fund the education our children need and deserve. Make a real offer @nseducation.
.@BeckyDruhan speaks to staff across the province, who are first warned not to bring up anything controversial or challenging to government programs. How honest do you think conversations with @NSTeachersUnion members actually are?
We were there for teachers in 2016-17. And we are here for teachers today. Read our statement ahead of the @NSTeachersUnion strike vote on April 11th. @nseducation @nsgov nsparentsforpubliceducation.ca/2024/04/03/apr…
“Being around children made teachers more exposed to ailments & illnesses, but they did not have the same safety measures hospital staff had” @NSTeachersUnion @ryanlutes Long Covid 'extremely debilitating' for teachers: union | RNZ News rnz.co.nz/news/national/…
At about the 12-minute mark, listen to our thoughts on how @nseducation and RCEs are either underreporting or hiding the level of violence in schools. Parents know, and we are FED UP with crisis management. Transparency and proactive solutions now! halifax.citynews.ca/2024/03/04/the…

@NSPFPE @CPAHighSchool @nseducation @HRCE_NS @HfxRegPolice “Spokesperson Lindsey Bunin said it lasted about 13 minutes and there was no threat.” If there was no threat, why did police show up with long guns? There was obviously a threat. That’s what they were investigating! The threat could’ve been false or the threat was isolated.
Footage from Sept 26 lockdown/hold & secure at @CPAHighSchool. We have questions for @nseducation @HRCE_NS and @HfxRegPolice about what happened and how it was (not) communicated. Our article: nsparentsforpubliceducation.ca/2023/10/25/cp-…
As CSAP assumes a stronger role in education, surely there must be an equal opportunity for English first-language communities. Is this not a clear rationale for the return of elected, English-language school boards?

@NSGEU is in solidarity with all members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Hate has no space here. ☮️🏳️🌈NSGEU 1st VP Hugh Gillis with President Lutes, @NSTeachersUnion and President Richardson from the Halifax-Dartmouth & District Labour Council and others at legislature this morning
Every person in Canada, no matter their race, creed, religious beliefs, gender identity or sexuality, has equal and full rights. This should never be up for debate. Stand with us in the conviction that there is #NoSpaceForHate in Canada.
It's perfectly okay to feel overwhelmed or distressed in the face of hateful acts and events; these resources are specifically for 2SLGBTQIA+ folks who need support. #NovaScotia #TransRightsAreHumanRights
Our 2SLGBTQIA+ community deserves to be able to live and love without fear of discrimination and hate. The @LiberalPartyNS stands with the rights of this community.
We are deeply disturbed by the rise in 2SLGBTQIA+ hate and the related rallies that are happening across Canada today. We stand with our trans brothers and sisters who are facing discrimination, violence and threats to their dignity and human rights.
📣 Let’s educate, not discriminate! The #CTFFCE stands in solidarity with students, families, educators, and the vast majority of 🇨🇦 in the protection of 2SLGBTQQIA+ rights. Read the full statement: tinyurl.com/2mntkmps #NoSpaceforHate

Sorry Becky Druhan, but you cannot be “listening to teachers” while ignoring the concerns raised by the teacher’s union. As a parent, I wholeheartedly support the efforts of @NSTeachersUnion and I demand you stop brushing off the concerns teachers have been raising for decades!
If your ultimate boss comes to a meeting & asks how things are, & your managers who warned you to be nice are all there listening too, how honest/direct/candid are the comments going to be. Members tell our UNION the unvarnished truth, it’s time gov takes our concerns seriously.

NS families are just as frustrated as teachers with the violence, lack of in class supports, large class sizes, lack of mental health supports, etc. At least with elected school boards there was accountability. Now it is toxic positivity and no meaningful change. #nspoli

@NovaScotiaESM For immediate relief (or at least a step forward), the government could implement a universal lunch program for students in public schools. That would help to address some of the food shortages at home.
