Kids are exponentially loosing touch with nature and the environment,great majority sees nature in City parks.
Kids wills stop going to the school(one of the greatest means of socializing-learning human behavior in big groups,full of non related ppl + lacking adults as models of authority of"other kind").


Kids will come out from home schooling Computer rich and Life poor !

We are heading FAST to the Brave New World!

Absolutely. Forget about owning, I can't believe the prices for rental properties, even rural. I can't understand why people would throw away $1500+ a month plus utilities for a crappy rental property. I'm guessing they don't have the down payment to purchase, or don't want the responsibility of maintaining one.

I come from that era also.
We weren't rich but had a happy childhood.
I think there was less peer pressure, as all families were in the same boat.

Teachers will be eliminated as as profession.

In the Maritimes most families I knew had dual incomes, so it is nothing new. Although my mom was in the house, she ran a daycare as well.
Every person I knew both there parents worked. Even when my parents were you both parents worked at various times.

That was a different time. A time when you had the neighbour watching out for you.
There was a village watching out for you, we don't have that anymore.

I like (sarcasm) at the end of the videos how they are looking for donations.... If anyone thinks kids will learn more by getting taught by a computer, they are mistaken. Computers are not teachers, they are just a great learning resource.

It's still like that in NB, everyone watches out for each others kids, not so much in Ontario, however in my community it's almost like NB.
When I first moved here the next door neighbour came over to say hi and his wife brought us a pie. I almost fainted.

We can't be oblivious to the fact that since the early 1990's,public service employment has been reduced by almost 75% despite the efforts of leftist governments and public sector unions to prop it up,hence,the wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth from the teacher's union's attack ads we're seeing today. The writing is on the wall. The education sector is about to shrink considerably more than it already has.

Round and round she goes. And what those in public service refuse to see, acknowledge, consider. Is that they and their Unions are their own worst enemies.

Name a Ministry that hasn't and isn't being gutted and/or doesn't have glaring problems like healthcare. In almost all cases, when you get down to brass tacks, the problem and solution is related to headcount. Just consider the MNRF, problems and issues there and their budgets since the 1990s. Given the importance of climate change, conservation, etc, etc. Where does the left think the tens of billions needed to shore up that ministry is going to be found?

Wynne, used to brag ( or whine) that Ontario was the leanest public service in Canada in response to Hudaks plans to reduce a lot, primarily through attrition ( which speaks to top heavy, long in tenure lifers, maxing/capping renumeration). And she was right. However the metric she used was headcount. Ontario has the, or one of the leanest Public Services. The fewest/smallest headcount.......Answers to the dozens of problems, issues, severity, priorities? There's only one. Increased headcount.

Problem: Wall
Public servants and Unions, who can't accept or see that the aggregate cost per person (head) is way too much.

Unions:
Do have a job, however for the last 30 years, they have become way too political and way too powerful. In their eyes, each of them, are the most important service/entity in the province. No other ministry, no other public servant, no other tax paying peon matters. Since Bob Rae and Rae days, it's been a constant, never ending battle for control at Queens Park and for public opinion/sympathy. Bob Rae, Harris, McGuinty, Wynne, Ford.

Major problems and one common denominator. Will the education unions and teachers pause to allow that basic truth and something that's taught in math and statistics register?

Nope.

So once again, a budget is being earmarked for reductions. God forbid....And they are taking to the airwaves, pulling on heart strings for public sympathy. For Ford, that means votes.......

Ironic, they are causing Ford of using the pandemic to politicize the issue, capitalize. Scuze me? What are they doing? And let's ignore the fact they are beating the drums, during the pandemic when so many tax peons are paying steep prices. Has a single teacher, principal, any other under "Education" lost a single nights sleep stressing over bills since March 2020?

JB, I know you like to pick on the public service but you can say the same damn thing about other unions as well. The auto industry being the most glaring example.
