Teachers and their employers contribute to a pension fund. Teachers are eligible at 55 years old to retire (assuming they started at 23 or so) and start collecting their pension. This is not "taxpayer money" anymore than the RRSPs you have in the bank from money you have earned is "taxpayer money".
Retired teachers are only able to work 50%-60% of the year, or it begins to impact their pension.
There is a shortage of teachers across Canada. If retired teachers weren't filling in as substitute teachers or for short term contracts, we would have a big problem.
What is the outrage about? Some people clearly hate teachers.
