In NS they imposed back to work legislation.  The Union is so out of touch with teachers they accepted a number of offers the teachers would not ratify.  The government is trying to satisfy teachers but is afraid of the Union and will not address the problem of the schools boards. The boards are so large and to give themselves credibility demand more work and data collection from teachers. Changes in teaching are made just because. Of course teachers are upset and overworked. We keep forgetting to put the students first.
