If our classes are small
enough that we can spend

more time with each student
individually;

If we have some time during

the week to prepare our

lessons, mark assignments and

do our other necessary
out-of-classroom tasks;

If we are relieved of the duty of

supervising students at recess
and on our lunch periods.

We believe these are

reasonable requests.

We hope you will support
our efforts to negotiate them
with your local school board.

Please ask your school

trustees to negotiate working
and learning conditions with

your local teachers’ association.
