Blog #9:Understanding Canadian Schools10/1/2019 Three things I learned:
A collective agreement is a legal agreement between employees, who have placed themselves into a union, and their employer. The union creates a committee who can represent their members in negotiating with their employer. Arbitration is a term used to define where the two sides of a bargaining process get a third person to meet either with them separately or together in order for them to come to a mutual agreement. Also if both sides agree to having an Arbitration in the first place then whatever the Arbitration decides they both have to accept the Arbitrations decision. “Teachers learn most of what they know on the job”, I understand that with every job you learn more and more in order to help you succeed and do what is best for the people learning from you; in a teachers case the students but I don’t understand how a teacher can be teaching their students and not knowing how to do their job. Two things I connected with: One thing I connected with is when it talked about the strike. Strike is defined as the ability for employees to withdraw their services in an attempt for their employer to come to a mutual agreement with them. This is a connection I have because currently the University of Regina has been negotiating with the school board in order to meet their wants. This is good for the teachers that they are fighting for what they want and deserve to have but for the students it is making an already stressful time even worse, if the school board doesn’t negotiate with what the teachers want then the teachers will be going on strike and us as students will miss out on school. Our career’s will get pushed back causing us to either take summer/ spring schooling or pushed back further by a semester. Another connection I had been with private life to do with teachers. I believe that teachers need a break from their everyday lives and are able to let loose a bit. I do not believe that they should do anything that they would regret and could mess with their teaching degrees but teachers should be able to go out with their friends and have a couple of drinks. Everyone needs time away from their work, no employee for any place should go out and make an embarrassment of themselves, or their work. One question I have is: I understand some issues that cause teachers to be dismissed from their teaching degrees such as any sexual relationship or any relationship with the children besides the one that exists in the classroom but when it comes to the teachers own private lives such as getting a divorce with their husband, why is it up to the school board to decide that they are not fit to be a teacher? Know one knows what went on behind closed doors so no one besides the couple who divorced know what went on that causes the divorce to happen.
