On the first "McGuinty Monday", the premier is repeating calls for teachers to leave kids out of it.

That term was coined by the province's elementary teachers union, who is asking their teachers not to take part in any board meetings or anything outside of their classroom duties on Mondays.

Dalton McGuinty made the comments as school after school in the province is seeing extra curricular activities cancelled as teacher refused to volunteer their time.

This all comes from public teachers' anger over a legislated contract, with unions crying for fair negotiations.
