Thurs / Friday is group B Right. The letter I received just stated 2 days. But with only 7 kids in the class returning (assuming Monday and Friday class) that means no kids from that class will be returning for Wednesday to Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean seriously, what else would a superintendent of the largest school district in the province say publicly? I want to hear from people in actual schools once kids go back whether strict protocols/measures are not only in place, but are actually being rigorously enforced? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me_ Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Can’t believe we’re still having this debate. 'Convincing' evidence suggests cloth masks may help reduce COVID-19 transmission Its like an “ok boomer” movement except it’s an “ok greatest generation” movement. What a serious piss off.

In Japan they of course have janitorial staff. Usually quite a few that are there all day cleaning everything - they are outsourced and often retired people who want the extra money and to do something. But students at all levels of school except university are responsible for cleaning each day. Teacher supervises and the kids wash desks and so forth and even mop floors. In Canada parents would probably not approve of their kids having those kinds of responsibilities. The kids don't mind it because anything is better than studying. I think it is a good system. In the old days kids in Canada at the start of school each day had to get their hands checked and so forth to see if they were clean.

Canada is a big place, so how do you know ‘Canada’ as a country ever did this? Canadian schools also have janitorial staffs as well. Did you not know that? Also, Canadian post secondary student clean their own dorms for the most part. Im not getting where you’re coming from? Do you think that Canadian students are lazier than Japanese students?

Tortorella's Rant Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Cancel school all you want; Canada can't hide indoors forever. International travel and the border with the States can't be closed forever. Eventually the virus will return because people will bring it here. And citizens of this fine country will become sick again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even before I was bringing my coffee to work, to save money. I have no issues with it, but there's a very vocal contingent of the public that think we're paying too much as it is. Teachers have been trying for 20 years to reduce class sizes, and no government has given them the money or tools to accomplish this. It would have to be rounded to a nickel anyways. We don't have pennies. I haven't been to a Tim's in well over a year. I agree that we should be protecting both kids and teachers. There are others that would lose it, if we had to raise taxes. That's all I'm saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering the same. Not many have experienced "older" days than I have, and I didn't experience that at all. Closest thing was, a school wide lice check, after a couple of kids were found with the infection. This would have been late 60's.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I last got the strap in grade 9, in 1960, for talking in class. Three on each hand, coming from behind me with two teachers, one to observe. The observing teacher just passed away. The fellow who gave me the strap, I ended up playing rugby against him, then teaching with him, and helping him build a house. We became good friends. When I started teaching in 1970, they decided to ban the strap from schools. It was still in Private schools, for when I taught at Brentwood, in 1977-78, they still were caning kids. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was around when I was going to school, but I never experienced it personally. I do remember being kicked by a gym teacher once and a Socials teacher who used to hit students with one of those wooden pointers. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it in grade school in SK. But I was asking for it. I was in the vice principals office for being a little $&!# for some other reason, and while he was yelling at me I figured out that his office had a ladder that led to the roof and he didn't have a lock on it. He also didn't shut his office door when he wasn't in there. Later that day he caught me on the roof, thats when I got the strap. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
