I must assume the orders came from the CFN and the few ATRs that were hired in September were replaced by "newbie teachers". How else could the number of ATRs go up between October and January?<br /><br />Maybe you need to ask the union leadership why they are not on top of this?Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-88566856636459789252013-01-26T14:43:45.769-05:002013-01-26T14:43:45.769-05:00Chaz,
