The actions or rather the lack of action from the Ford government to address this crisis are just mind boggling. #healthcare #onted

Educators are often expected to shut up and get on with it, or else they're called lazy and greedy. However, people need to stop and think about the fact that what educators really want is a system where everyone can find success. #onted

I sent a letter to the Minister of Education and my local school board today and you should too. Students and their educators should be focused on learning together, not preparing for disruptive tests to measure the system. #ETFO #EQAO Send a message:nwmd.io/s/twitter/ZhM0CjHEHP…
