Dozens of teachers and parents took to the sidewalks of NDG with flags, whistles and outrage last week as educators at several public schools demonstrated their anger and frustration with the provincial government over lack of a contract.
More than two dozen teachers demonstrated on Cavendish Blvd next to St. Monica School with the stereo blasting âWeâre not gonna take itâ as they waved banners and thanked passersby who offered enthusiastic honks and thumbs up on their late morning commute through NDG.
Montreal Teachers Association representative Leighton Jacobs told
The Suburban that teachers are fed up waiting for a contract, adding that members are suffering as repeated pleas for smaller class sizes and increase resources for special needs students continue to go unanswered.
