    Schools are cutting teachers and paras, increasing class sizes, closing schools, and running 4 day weeks, struggling with deficits, while he accumulated a $27 billion dollar ‘rainy day fund’ and spent a billion dollars on a voucher program that basically reduces the price of private schools - not enough that they’re affordable for regular people, just enough to save his buddies some $ so their kids don’t have to go to school with the riff-raff rest of us.

      So the same bullshittery as here however it seems we haven’t gotten bad enough to make the average voter open their eyes. Goddamn frustrating as a parent to two boys on the spectrum.

      Doug Ford and the OPC does not care about our children.

        School employees are actually a pretty big group. Almost everyone i know voted early. Even the Republicans i work with were complaining about Abbott. It’s become so unpleasant to work in the schools that people are finding it harder to work until retirement age. For some people it has to impact their money before they’ll stand up for kids.
