Summary:From 1969 to 1999, teachers and principals in Ontario exercised a degree of compliance, non-compliance, and resentment towards educational reforms imposed by provincial authorities. Historically, there has been a struggle between those who govern society and those who labour in society. Through the use of state laws, institutions, and corporate interests, those in positions of powers have introduced change without the consultation of the workers. In retaliation, these groups have opposed reform through collective and individual acts that involve passive and aggressive forms of opposition in order to contribute to the political, socio-economic discussion of how a society should be both governed and educated.
