Education Minister Sandals says she has heard that Ontario elementary teachers will not complete report cards but instead will send home a letter with each student telling parents whether the child passed or failed. The education minister has this advice: Parents should get a meeting with their kid’s teacher and try to persuade him/her to reveal something about the true progress of the student in various areas. The union representing Ontario elementary school teachers has previously said that they will not provide comments for report cards as part of province-wide work to rule action. Now apparently it’s no cards at all. Unlike a strike, a work-to-rule continues to pay teacher salaries. Ms. Sandals admits the worst. A pass or fail missive to mom and dad seems likely. Elementary school teachers across Ontario began job action on May 11. As part of the work-to-rule, the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario says that teachers are not participating in Ministry of Education meetings, workshops or meetings with principals. Teachers are also not administering standardized tests or booking field trips for the 2015-2016 school year.
