The past few weeks it seems like I just can't keep up. And I've taught these classes before! The emails, the questions, the duties, the marking, the contacting home, contacting the office, updating my GC, running to the photo copier, mid term reports. Anyone else? 😩 #OntEd

So much of this ends up happening during personal time, because even the insufficient time that’s allotted to it during the day is often taken up by other demands.

it was worth staying out past my bedtime

Enjoying the homegrown tomatoes for as long as possible

All I'm saying is, I wish that people (politicians, the media, the general public) were as worked up about underfunded schools, classes being cancelled due to lack of a teacher, school repairs, mental health supports, and clean air, as they are about cellphones. 🤷🏿‍♂️ #OntEd

Happy summer everyone! We made it. Year five ✔️

The temp in a Brampton elementary school this morning – at 7:33 a.m. – well before the start of the day. 28.2C w a relative humidity of 69%. Feels like *31C*.

Unsafe & irresponsible. Neither learning nor working can happen effectively in these conditions. #ETFO #OntEd #OnLab

Hearing folks saying that putting AC in schools for a few hot weeks isn't worth it & students should just suffer.

Reminder that @fordnation just shut down the legislature for 19 weeks of summer break & they have AC at Queen's Park. In fact, they have very clean & cool air there.

We are not thriving.

After starting the long weekend with the stomach flu, I’m happy we got to enjoy some sunshine today ☀️

Thankful to witness another night of the Aurora dancing in the skies

The Aurora made an appearance last night

I knew my stash of pennies would come in handy one day. We are modelling isotopes today in SCH3U0 ⚛️

I am drowning in marking of final evaluations and report cards but decided to take a little break and go for a ride. We enjoyed the sunset and Bacardi enjoyed his favourite treat - a pear 🍐

Ken getting nominated and not Barbie is honestly so fitting for a film about a man discovering the power of patriarchy in the Real World.

As best as I can tell, being a teacher is asking this question forever and struggling with guilt when you do neither. 😬
