James & I were discussing the issues surrounding BC’s teachers working only “essential services” since October 7th, and realized how little we understood the topic. In case you’re interested, James found 2 helpful articles on The Tyee that help provide some historical perspective. We thought others might appreciate following some current issues, after being steeped in theoretical papers for so much of the day!
