🚨Huge scandal unfolding in CPS - Chicago Public Schools! Chicago elementary teachers have come forward alleging that administrators instructed them they have to give migrant students a passing grade of 70% in every subject. Teachers say they spoke no Spanish, the kids spoke no English and this presented serious challenges. The CEO of Chicago Public Schools went on record just a few weeks ago and claimed the migrant students are held to the same standard as all others students. It’s estimated there are between 9k-17k migrant students in Chicago Public Schools

I’ve visited countless schools, I know Alberta teachers work hard. Our offer hires 3,000 new teachers and provides a 12 percent raise, over 4 years, giving them the highest take home pay in western Canada, so students get better access to their teachers and greater support in class. It is a real plan that puts help in classrooms now. We hope the ATA says yes so we can deliver this for students, families, and teachers this year.

This is INSANE. Chicago Public School teachers ENCOURAGED students to DITCH CLASS and attend communist protests today. These corrupt teachers unions need to be BROKEN UP. Enough is enough. To make it worse, students were brought to the "protests" on the TAXPAYERS' dime in school buses. START DEFUNDING THESE DISTRICTS!

How many students are in your child’s class this year? How many should be? We know class sizes matter. That’s why we’re asking parents and teachers to fill out our survey. Because we can do better for our kids. 👉🏽

🚨BREAKING: Randi Weingarten - head of one of America’s largest teachers’ unions - just dropped a truth bomb about why Trump “loves” the poorly educated: “Teachers are the antidote to fascism.” They teach kids to think - and here’s what Trump doesn’t want you to know 👉 Throughout history, fascists have feared teachers - from Hitler’s Germany to Trump’s MAGA movement - because teachers help students draw conclusions from what they see, feel, and hear - not from propaganda.” As Randi told me, “Teachers bring kids together. Teachers bring families together. We create safe and welcoming environments - and we teach kids how to tell fact from fiction.” That’s why the far right attacks them. Because a nation that knows how to think for itself can never be ruled by fear. And her book is so much more. It’s a guidebook on how to fight back.

A primary school teacher has called on the Ghana Education Service (GES), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and other relevant authorities to take immediate action to curb incidents of male teachers engaging in sexual relationships with their students, particularly in senior high schools. She lamented that many students are innocent but end up being negatively influenced or exploited by some teachers.

Bless this teacher for standing up for a bullied student. Watch and listen as she goes off on her class, when she realizes they've been bullying one of their classmates. She is rightly angry; her emotions running high; and she addresses the problem head-on! We need more teachers that stand up for what's right! 🙏
