Title?

Teachers EI We augment their 8 month work year (9-3 Mon to Fri, Sept to Nov, Nov to June with breaks in between) through our EI payments. (Nov-June to compensate for Xmas Easter and other breaks)
Should we have faith that their extra curricular activities are enough to warrant their pay? We as EI contributors are paying for this faith based work week.
Teachers have an agreement with EI to cover their summer Xmas and Easter breaks.

The last teachers strike in NB the teachers held us and our kids ransom with these extracurricular activities work stoppages. So what is it apart of the job or not or is it volunteer work? Make up your mind and stop holding EI contributors and our kid’s hostage.
Granted there are some very dedicated teachers but work is exactly that work and should have some very clear and concise guidelines. Not depend on volunteer work as apart of the work week.

The Military contributes EI their whole carrier but upon successful completion of their contract 3 years 6 years or 20 years you are not entitled to draw EI? Why is this? Is it designed to keep our young people from leaving the military after honourably completing a contract, whether that be 3, 6, or 20+ years? Supposedly it is a claw back for severance payments?

Is this a form of negative incentive draft retention?

While I’m on the military topic, did you know that the cost of the Marine Atlantic ferry isn’t considered apart of the Trans Canada Highway when it comes to claiming your one trip home a year from wherever in Canada or the world, in the military you are?
Comments:
If there is one thing that the government should cede full control to the citizens is the right to choose where, and what school their children are educated.

The public school system, and the usurious labor unions that run it, have rendered this model of education service delivery unaccountable for their abject failure to increase the learning ability of students, especially disabled ones like my boy, who has cerebral palsy.

Why on earth the Dalton McGuinty government would allow school boards to erect policy barriers to disabled students like my boy makes me wonder whose in charge, Dalton McGuinty or the unions?

For example, Logan can't talk yet because my wife and I don't know how to teach him. He's 9 years old.

He needs a speech and language pathology teacher to do what is required. When I asked the school board to supply these services I was told that in order for the board to supply these service, my son would have to be able to speak 6 or more words in a sentence first.

Unlike the public school system of education service delivery, teachers and staff at private schools do as they are told and always put the students first and foremost, instead of appeasing already over-paid unionized teachers who have an arrogant sense of entitlement they put ahead of the students every time they can.

To me, and those disabled students like my boy, we should have a choice where we enroll our children to learn what they need to survive and prosper in the real world, no matter their plight.
