Ontario teachers’ boycott of after-school programs creates confusion

Louise Brown and Megan Ogilvie:

So, will there be early-morning cross-country practice Thursday or not?
Students and parents are holding their breath to see which of Ontario’s 76,000 elementary teachers will decide not to run after-school activities to protest the new law that freezes their wages.
While the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario has asked members to take a “pause” in extracurricular activities, it stopped short of ordering them to do so or telling them how long the boycott should last.
So no one — not parents, not school boards, not even some local teacher unions — seems to know quite what will happen.
