@xierra @JustinTrudeau It’s taken that long for Trump to have all the big words explained to him.

@TorontoStar It’s called bending the knee. These people aren’t stupid.

@CraigBaird Fry guy at Harvey’s at Dundas and Winston Churchill in Mississauga. First job. First girlfriend. Oh the memories!Still there.

@CraigBaird @lauraandsimba This got me thinking about your next “Greatest Canadian” poll. How about greatest Canadian novel?

@MindShiftKQED @ShawnaCoppola @true_fiktion @TheEdCollab @MisterLibrary Graphic novels are sophisticated texts that can hone students’ decoding skills in a variety of ways. Many offer students with diverse learning needs and challenges an opportunity to engage with texts, eliminating barriers to understanding and fostering a love of reading.

@jayryght @CP24 “Progressive Discipline” Jason. This has no teeth and students will flout the ban knowing there are no consequences.

@NTFabiano @alastairmci With my extremely limited understanding of this thread, is it possible that diseases like dementia might arise in part from a lack of neuronal synchronization? A lack of entanglement preventing information transfer impacting memory storage?

@waub If a fan of The Princess Bride, check this out. Great stories regarding the making of the movie, and Elwes does pretty good impressions. https://t.co/It2FoxjKfo

@3YearLetterman @StephenKing It’s spelled “Labour”. Using a dictionary too labourious for you?

[Chris Clarke @ChrisJSClarke]

@Poochigian I remember that one! How about the new Civil War movie as prequel to The Road?

@markbarnes19 @tetheredtoed1 My 29 years in the classroom says it depends on the class and the activity. Great thing about desks is they aren’t nailed to the floor. Your pedagogy shouldn’t be either.

@MrAntilope @VancityReynolds Maybe we can get him to buy the Leafs and Wrexham our playoff hopes!

@teacher2teacher Stop giving them tests. There are better means of assessment.

@mslongpre @NDP The potential for violence escalates when groups of angry people gather. To protest at a political office is one thing, but to do so at a private residence is inappropriate. Kids and family members are off limits. Full stop.

[Chris Clarke @ChrisJSClarke]

@mslongpre @NDP Wait a minute. You’re actually saying it’s okay to go after people at their homes? Where they may have kids? That’s setting a dangerous precedent.

@AHolyk_CTV @ctvwinnipeg @HeatherButtsCTV Congratulations!! So well deserved!

@MarkHamill Just the stormtroopers.

@AlanaLynn76 @Lookingin2it @BtownTeacher89 @dpsuoecta I’m glad members are stepping up to be engaged in the unit. It’s the implication that there’s impropriety in the managing of the budget I take issue with. There is none. And you know that.

[Chris Clarke @ChrisJSClarke]

@Lookingin2it @AlanaLynn76 @BtownTeacher89 @dpsuoecta Oh yeah, it’ll be just like Geraldo Rivera with Al Capone’s safe. #cabal #unionthugs
