I read this this week, and I was troubled.
This freaked me most is the comment from the school principal who says it "recognizes it is always unfortunate to see teachers leave during the school year mainly because of holidays parenting. "Sometimes there is a turnover and a series of replacements but follow-up is always done with students," says he. "
How can it be said that parental leave are the cause of the failure of some students? Could we no sooner blame the shortage of qualified teachers in the Outaouais region? I do not have precise figures at hand, but It is known that the principals are having difficulty recruiting qualified teachers - especially math and science.
The reasons for this shortage are many. There is firstly the lack of a program of science education at the UQO ; then the few graduates in education in the region above the salary conditions in Ontario - on the other side of the River and finally the growing attraction for many teachers in the federal public service, where the wage conditions, but also the conditions better than stupid ork in education.
education being a largely female, there is some risk that is most affected by parental leave, but there is a risk that the company must be prepared to accept that the situation is improving Quebec's family.
I do not need to "repopulate" Quebec at the expense of the present generation, but it would still not put all the blame for the current shortage of teachers on parental leave - a situation Ottawa knows that, but not necessarily all others.
