LOCAL TEACHERS ALSO BAGGING OFF



""We aren't seeing any great anomalies in teacher absences" Catholic school board official John Shewchuk said.". He then goes on to advise that last Friday there were 206 teacher absences out of 1,400 permanent teacher contracts. Similarily the public board stated that they had not had any "failures to fill" this year. What that means is that supply teachers were available to fill absences. Of course the public board did not indicate how many teachers missed last Friday causing Joe Taxpayer to have to pay twice for teachers' services. Getting back to the Catholic board and there non anomalies; let's do the math. 206 out of 1,400 is just barely shy of 15% of the teachers absent that day. Again these teachers get paid to go golfing, swimming or sufferring from a horrible winter cold in June. Shame on them and shame on both our school boards, again. This story is in today's Waterloo region record titled "Teacher absenteeism rising".
