Teachers are rising up. Our pension plan, one of the largest pension plans in the world, invests in war crimes. We are refusing to be complicit.
@OTPPinfo : it's time to divest.
Take action alongside these teachers at worldbeyondwar.org/otpp

"Today, I want us all to consider education from a different perspective... I want us to see our #OntEd system as a dynamic force - a force that empowers not just individuals, but entire communities & our entire society."

I was touched to see Gus Walz’s joy when his dad @Tim_Walz took the stage last night. Thankful for you showing us all what real love looks like, Gus.
Let’s be a nation that embraces this kind of warmth and vulnerability, instead of making fun or mocking it. We could all use some of Gus’s example in our own lives.

Teachers are not therapists and schools are not treatment centres.
When we short-change vulnerable students with complex needs, everyone loses.
I can never forget that my child’s learning conditions are her educators’ working conditions.

Know why Stephen Lecce wants us all talking about cell phones (again)?
So that we’re not talking about how harmful his latest funding formula is for our kids.

“Ford gov can make all the distracting announcements they want about cell phones or vaping but w/out investing in qualified professionals that students need in schools & classrooms, student mental health needs will continue to go unaddressed” #OSSTF #OntEd

Read this if you're still wondering why nobody wants to work in public education!
"Why I Left Public Education.
I spent 21 years in Hamilton schools. Drastic budget cuts and a rise in violence caused me to leave that world for good."

Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” has reached #1 on US iTunes after a live performance with Luke Combs at the #GRAMMYs, nearly 36 years since release.
As the parent of a child who has been in a comm class for 3 years, I can promise you that nothing will replace the necessity of these programs. My daughter would have struggled and failed without being in it. Shame on @PeelSchools for removing it 😔

Mark reporting in #onted… hard to believe but it’s getting worse. Why not just give parents the accurate information?
