Quebec unions try to brush off plans forcing teachers to help clean students’ teeth

MONTREAL — Quebec’s teachers say they don’t have time to supervise children brushing their teeth every day.
Teachers unions say their members have high enough workloads and that now is not the time to be saddling them with the responsibility of making sure their students’ mouths are clean.
The unions are reacting to a program that is slowly rolling out across the province, in which teachers are required to ensure students brush their teeth for two minutes every day.
