@eqderiv@realJ_Mitchell What do you propose teachers do to increase scores? I can assure you, theyre teaching math & literacy. A major issue is the lack of EAs, reading specialists, guidance educators, mental health support, & tutors. All require funding from the govt, not a change in teaching practices
@BrettUpward23@realJ_Mitchell And a way to help mitigate these concerns/set back would be to provide additional supports in the classroom, like EAs and reading specialists. And funding is required for that.
@NoContextHumans 40% that’s a lot. 20% is the high end of the standard tip, depending on the level of service. Obviously tip however much you want but expecting 40% to be the standard is WILD.
😵💫😵💫😵💫 more people who have little experience in education making decisions about education. It’s hard enough get answers from our own board/trustees. Now it’s up to the Ministry of Ed? We’re never getting what we want or need in the education system again.
BREAKING: The Ford government’s controversial education reform bill has passed. The education minister has given himself the power to override school boards. Bill 33 will allow him to establish policies & guidelines, and remove trustees.
@TinaYazdani The #DougFord government is centralizing education policy so that Queen's Park in Toronto, not locally-elected trustees, will be responsible for school policies. Good luck getting your local MPP to respond to your concerns about your child in school. #onpoli
@krassenstein This is such click bait/rage bait for uneducated people who love to hate.
Arabic numerals are NUMBERS. THE NUMBERS WE ALL KNOW AND USE.
You’ve beeeen learning Arabic numerals.
@Miamisalsero@davidbellow@AmiriKing Then she should have paid to have them sit together if it’s all that. Otherwise, don’t inconvenience other people for your own preference.
I’m a psychiatrist.
In 2025, I’ve seen 12 people hospitalized after losing touch with reality because of AI. Online, I’m seeing the same pattern.
Here’s what “AI psychosis” looks like, and why it’s spreading fast: 🧵
Doug Ford is ‘heartbroken’ that a drunk driver killed three young children, after spending seven years doing everything he can to promote alcohol consumption and make it easier to buy alcohol as early as 7am.
When your brother texts you to ask if you’ve heard from your parents because a plane crashed at Pearson (they’re flying home from vacation today). So you immediately think the worst possible scenario until you Google the crash to find out it happened at 2pm and no one died.
I say this because it is MIDNIGHT and this was supposed to be over at 11 and I have to get up at 5am and I am tired. Do I have free will and could go to bed? Yes. Will I miss an opportunity to indulge in pop culture and Taylor Swift? No.
It’s the year 2040. The Grammy’s start at 6 pm & are on until 3am. Speeches are each 5 min long. Trevor Noah is raising money for 7 different causes & mentions each one 84 times. The comic relief involves full SNL style skits.
