It would probably be more accurate for the thread title to say '... currently short". There remains the possibility that the ~30% shortfall is filled by willing bodies, but I suspect that it won't be. I expect that everyone who was willing to sign up at the lower rate of pay or who didn't really care that the rate was reduced has already done so.
I remain a staunch supporter of public education (of course, I am biased), but I feel that we teachers as a collective do ourselves a disservice by using wording like "direct assault" and "insult" and so on to describe our feelings towards the province's actions. That being said, Mr. Johnson has been particularly (and unnecessarily) aggressive/combative towards teachers. I don't really expect him to last too long in his current role.
