Judging by a teachers’ union magazine, the keys to education are not math, grammar or history but climate-change activism
The miserable state of Canada’s K-12 public education, well documented by international tests showing steadily declining scores for two decades, already has many parents deeply concerned. Their equanimity will not be improved by the Spring 2025 issue of ETFO Voice, published by the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario. It expresses no concern that 50 per cent of Grade 6 students fail to meet provincial standards in math and contains no plans for improving academic achievement. Instead, the ETFO seems singularly focused on moulding Ontario’s public-school children into a generation of Greta Thunbergs.
Ford could fix this but won’t.
