Dear Editor:
Re: Province reveals back-to-school plan, Aug. 6.
It is disappointing that the teachers’ unions would oppose the plan for full return to the classroom in September.
They have had six months, unlike many of us, to prepare for a safe return to work. The provincial government, whatever its faults, has shown a creditable approach to COVID-19 thus far.
The teachers’ unions, on the other hand, held rolling strikes that hobbled the school year even before the pandemic. Is anyone else exhausted by their focus on finding fault with others rather than working towards solutions?
Case numbers in our region are very low and these unions should put their energy into helping get our kids back to the classroom.
Bernie Wallis,
