@1Pierrepressure @WestJet @globalnewsto @CP24 @CTVToronto @globeandmail @TorontoStar I too would love to know the answer to this. Transparency and communication would be great right about now.

“Thou shalt use THIS VLE!”
Seems like “voice and choice” isn’t a thing in @PeelSchools. Very disappointing. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Thank you Robbie Coltrane for leaving us with Hagrid forever, you were a treasure.

In Ford's Ontario his MPPs get over $16000 a year increases but nurses get 1%. Educators get threatened but hundreds of Billions go on highways that will enrich his friends. Fiscally wrong, Ethically wrong. Just plain wrong

I was in a meeting where the Dean said, as they’ve said before, “we’re going to have to do more with less” and I replied “or maybe we just do less with less” and the room got really quiet. I think about that sometimes.

Thinking that teachers only work during class time is like thinking that a movie director only works for 2 hours.

Huge news conference today in Ontario led by Premier Doug Ford, Health Minister Christine Elliott and Education Minister Stephen Lecce regarding major changes in our fight against Covid.

Just kidding…none of those people showed up.

Yesterday’s $500,000,000 cut to Ontario schools amounts to:

- $103,000 per school
- $245 per student

Special thanks to @fordnation and @Sflecce for showing how much you truly care about education in Ontario.

I took screenshots of a few (of many!) articles discussing the negative impacts of hybrid learning. How many more will be required for the government and school boards to get the picture? #NoHybridNo150

[Lisa 💁🏻‍♀️ @ItsJustMe_LisaD]

Students, parents, and staff are in agreement! 150 minute classes and hybrid learning has been an utter failure. It’s fractured learning and it is a huge disservice to students.

"Boards can afford to do (hybrid) because they're getting teachers to do two jobs at once" #onted

“In short, this schedule is not working for anyone and the reasons it was adopted in the first place are unclear.”https://t.co/RiGdv6Vpzw via @torontostar #OSSTF #OntEd #OnPoli

[Jason Bradshaw 🇨🇦🇧🇧 @JBradshaw01]

Take the hint, school boards! Whatever your reasons are for choosing this model, all stakeholders are telling you it’s not worth it, and this applies to secondary too, @PeelSchools. #OntEd

JUST ONCE, I want to be part of a staff meeting where the agenda reads ‘Things We Are Removing From Teacher Plates.’

[Jason Bradshaw 🇨🇦🇧🇧 @JBradshaw01]

Apparently the leadership of @PeelSchools believes that this year is going better than last…

One of the difficult lessons I’ve learned while teaching during this pandemic is that senior management is as out of touch with #OntEd frontline workers and students as the government.

[Lisa 💁🏻‍♀️ @ItsJustMe_LisaD]

Day 4 of no prep, 150 min classes, and hybrid on top of that. I’m exhausted, the students are spent, and it’s only week 2. I feel like I’m being pulled in a thousand different directions and I severely dislike this model of teaching and learning. This isn’t working. #onted

[Cheri DiNovo @CheriDiNovo]

IN FUTURE: all Ministers of Education should be educators. Retweet if you agree @sflecce still waiting on a #SafeSeptember2021

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

I can’t believe I have to say this, BUT teachers can love teaching and care deeply about their students AND, at the same time, be excited about the school year finally being over.

[Tristan Imgrund @tristan_sudbury]

To those who have screamed and yelled for the last year, “Schools are safe! They don’t drive transmission!”

Here’s an acknowledgement from the Ontario Government that INDEED:

1. Schools are a MAJOR source of outbreaks;

2. Reopening schools DOES lead to an increase in cases.
