The message is loud and clear tonight in Moncton. Scrapping French immersion is not the answer. // Le message est fort et clair ce soir à Moncton. L'élimination de l'immersion française n'est pas la solution.

300 and people are still trying to get on. The room is far too small for the French Immersion meeting (not a consultation) in Moncton. @premierbhiggs

[Nathalie Sturgeon @nthlstrgn]

Green MLA Megan Mitton says the education minister “threatened to shut down this process,” in relation to ongoing consultation over the new French language instruction program. #nbpoli

[Megan Mitton @meganmitton]

Minister Hogan just threatened to shut down this process to a room full of people who showed up because they care about education. I can’t believe it.

[Mainland Islander @MainlandIslandR]

Line ups out the door and having to open up a second ball room to accommodate all the people completely opposed to these changes to the French Immersion program. Time to reconsider @premierbhiggs !!! #nbpoli #nbed #frenchimmersion

[Mainland Islander @MainlandIslandR]

Is this the end game @premierbhiggs? Those who can afford it get a private French education and those who can’t get your crappy new public program (based on no evidence at all btw)… shameful #nbpoli #frenchimmersion #nbed https://t.co/BPUzgXCRbi

Imagine spending ~$14000 CAD per student in #readingrecovery… only to have them finish the program and still not be able to read. Unfortunately this happens about 60-65% of the time in our area😳 #soldastory #scienceofreading #sor #nsed #nspoli

@MmeLockhartLDSB @OaklandReads Do you have any resources similar to word chain lists in French that you can share?

@RogersHelps @Rogers How much do social media managers at Rogers make annually? I’m starting to think I’m grossly underpaid for my day job and might consider a career change.

@RogersHelps @Rogers “when services will be back online” ?

triste de promener en bicyclette avec des enfants juste pour se faire disputer trois fois par des vieux. Les mêmes vieux qui plaignent quand les enfants jouent trop sur la technologie 🤦‍♀️ #dieppe

Not being able to read destroys a love of reading. #SoR #structuredliteracy #nsed

@NSTeachersUnion I have major concerns for PT interviews! We are working hard to wear masks during the school day but families and students can enter maskless for interviews and student-led conferences. Double standards, mixed messages for our students and staff. #nsed #nspoli

[Mainland Islander @MainlandIslandR]

Just because we’re making it work, doesn’t mean it’s working. Political leaders and society in general expect schools to support the social and economic needs of students, yet also put pressure on them with academic performance data. Schools can’t fix everything. #nsed #nspoli

[Mainland Islander @MainlandIslandR]

@AnglophoneEast are after school activities and facility rentals still going ahead? Or are they canceled due to weather?

[Mainland Islander @MainlandIslandR]

@stfxuniversity why are you blocking BEd students from substituting during their five week practicum? #nsed schools are desperately short staffed and these students could definitely help! NB universities allow it. Please reconsider your position on this ASAP #nspoli

[Mainland Islander @MainlandIslandR]

I wonder how all of those people from away are feeling about their moves to Atlantic Canada now? 🤣 ❄️ #NBStorm #NSStorm #PEIStorm
