Quebec high school teacher resigns over government’s COVID-19 guidelines
After teaching for close to three decades, a Montreal-area high school teacher has decided to resign after learning about the province’s back-to-school, saying it will hardly protect she and her family from contracting the coronavirus. The Quebec Provincial Association of Teachers (QPAT) is disappointed the government refused to make masks and social distancing mandatory in classrooms, leading to many of its 8,000 members to resign or retire early, as in the case of Sonia Barnes Huggins. “Well I would’ve liked to have seen the government care about the teachers and care about how they would re-enter the school,” said Huggins.
