(Montreal Gazette) Parents at a Montreal primary school where 11 teachers were suspended over the weekend expressed shock and confusion during after-school pickup on Monday, with several questioning if the situation had been blown out of proportion.
The suspensions, announced on Saturday, came after a Quebec government report found a “dominant clan” of teachers had created a toxic environment at Bedford elementary school, imposing strict rules on students and intimidating anyone who opposed them.
“It’s shocking for everyone. And we don’t know exactly what happened, or for what reason they were suspended,” said Kamrun Nahar, whose daughter attends the Côte-des-Neiges school. “Eleven teachers all at once?”
