I was a teacher under the Harris government. I KNOW there is a
difference and I don't ever want to go back there. Maybe I'll vote
Conservative once I retire.

If Hudak gets elected, there won't be literacy coaches, PD workshops,
prep time and special assignment teachers. Fortunately, I think that
due to the incredible work of all of the education unions (and many
others) that the Liberals will retain a majority government. The
funny thing about unions is they help all of their members even the
ones who vote Conservative.
