Teachers have to answer to district guidelines around the pandemic.
Personally, I'm working 845 to 245 and then spend a lot of time outside of that answering emails, setting up assignments on Teams and marking.
Like all professions there are some that will only do the bare minimum.
If the minimum requirement for an elementary school teacher during a pandemic and responsible for all subjects is only required to send a short generic email once a week then one of three things needs to happen.
1. Increase the minimum requirements for teachers to actually teach during a pandemic.
2. Reduce teachers pay by 50%
3. Reduce the workforce by 50%
Most teachers I am sure, are doing the best that they can and I know none of these things will happen. Some teachers are really using this as a semi-vacation and ruining the image of the profession. My hope is that it will be safe for the kids to return to school soon.

We packed up everything last week and left out on the curb for parents to pick up. Our admin said she doesn't think there's anyway we go back.
Just curious, do the the school teachers still get full pay?
Please, don't tell me the once a week email my child receives from the teacher for assignments deserves full pay.
Better guidelines need to drawn up quickly on what teachers need to be doing because I believe some of the teachers(not all) are using this situation as an excuse to not do their Job. Good on the teachers that are trying their best to educate our kids but there should be minimum standards that include classroom instruction via zoom or skype. Our Kids and the tax payer deserve better.

Just listening to this interview on Sportsnet, Burke is saying that he can't imagine that there won't be a rollback and that the rollback could easily be as much as 40% of existing salaries to make numbers work.
Thinks they will be back and probably playing to empty buildings to finish out the season.
If that did happen I guess that would mean the cap recapture for Luongo would be less too.
Still wouldn't take LE at 3.6M, he should retire or loan him to the Marlies.

Objective journalism is far from dead. We have many credible, balanced, objective organizations. I guess it just depends on where you're looking at it from I guess.
Please show me the criticism from MSM on our PM doing practically nothing until it was far to late.
This is the one story I could find and I guess you can say he did do something,
I really want to be wrong on this.

There is a much simpler explanation. Taiwan keeps a close watch on communist China and does not trust them as far as it could throw them. So does South Korea. When you live next to the troll under the bridge, it is a good idea to know what it is up to. Our prime minister views communist China as his favourite form of that he admires, something to reflect on in this nation’s shutdown and why it happened: https://torontosun.com/2013/11/08/trudeau-admires-chinas-basic-dictatorship/wcm/72d62ec4-e0f4-4720-bb18-d998f445630c
I agree to a certain extent but wasn't there also supposed to be lessons learned from SARS? I guess that didn't really happen. Maybe next time?
It was like within the first two week's of the outbreak here hospitals were already rationing masks.
I also feel the need to criticize our government because objective journalism from the main stream media is dead in this country and has been for a while mostly only for certain people or party's.
It's almost like the people that own MSM also own our Prime Minister. Stark contrast to what is currently going on in the states.

It’s a pandemic...
Not one managing entity, whether world body like the WHO, not governments like Ottawa could’ve done anything about it.
Not one measure would be adequate until statistics start painting a picture.
By that time, it is already way too late.
That is the nature of pandemic. It spreads, people remain asymptomatic for a long time, and then symptoms start to show.
When symptoms start to show, millions already have it.
To this day, there are asymptomatic people who have it and never would’ve known.
An Atlanta hospital developed its own antibody test and tested the entire hospital staff. A staff member came positive for antibodies. That means she had it, never know it, and has spread it at some point, and maybe still.
The story starts at 11:50
Lots of blame going around. But really, not one prediction or model could’ve brought anyone to high alert until it was way too late in the game.
However, the human brain has to make sense of everything so in this case, it starts looking for broken links and blame.
Some governments were way more prepared than others. Look at Taiwan only 6 deaths and schools and restaurants never closed. Population is over 27 million.
Our response and preparedness was so grossly mismanaged in comparison.

I wonder how long this will last. I am not sure the economy can handle this for even another Month.
Every week there are more layoffs as people are not spending the money they have or no longer have which has a cascading effect that we have not fully seen the impact yet.
I am sure the authorities are working hard to increase testing and therapies so we can get back to work. But man how unprepared was our government (and most other governments). Do you think our government will learn from all these mistakes? Like telling us masks do not do anything for the general public which was an obvious lie because we did not have enough for everyone.
What else does our government lie to us about?
