The “math is math” argument against equitable math education reveals a deep lack of understanding of how classrooms work.

Learning - in public & private schools - involves human interactions mediated by biases & lived experiences. Ignoring this leaves many students behind.

Proud to announce @WRDSB graduation rates continue to go up! While we have more work to do, we are more committed than ever. We’ll continue to put the right supports in place and conditions for learning so all students can be successful. #WRDSBGradRates https://t.co/keZJjBfkGD

Is teaching kids about racism scary?

One way for Canada to stave off the kind of pushback seen in the U.S. would be mandating Black studies in the curriculum. Some schools have started.

William Peyton Hubbard was Toronto's first Black politician. Here he is looking spry at age 93 as he visits Mr. Sharpe's grade four class at the Toronto Model School in 1935. The boys wanted his autograph. From our Globe and Mail photos, Fonds 1266, Item 35818. #BlackHistoryMonth
