This is what happens when there aren’t enough Educational Workers like EAs, SEIs and CYWs in schools. Wait until people hear about the levels of violence staff and classmates are experiencing from aggressive students in schools. Schools are not safe.

If you have a child in an Ontario school and wish to enjoy your holidays in a few weeks, have your child mask. COVID-19 is rampant.

@zjsmum I’ve been told to get PPE (torso/arm protection) for students who throw things at my head and push things at my legs. I feel like I’ll be padded like a hockey goalie by June. Also, how do I wear that all day?

Today, Doug Ford again refused to acknowledge the link between the climate crisis and raging wildfires.

We need a gov't that acts to mitigate climate change.

One that isn't paving over our Greenbelt—a massive carbon sink.

This isn't normal. We can do so much better. #onpoli

[EducatorAdvocateON @OnAdvocate]

@PierrePoilievre I frankly wish you’d just shut your pie hole since you have nothing constructive to contribute.

[EducatorAdvocateON @OnAdvocate]

I’m seeing many people wearing masks due to a wildfire. It’s the right decision. How did/do so many people justify not wearing a mask when COVID-19 is an obvious danger? 🤔

Being told over and over how much you are valued, by the same people who have you working on an expired contract for almost a year is the literal definition of gaslighting. #OntEd #onpoli #FireLecce

What are the odds school is cancelled tomorrow in Ottawa? There was a ambulance at the kids school this afternoon for an “air quality related medical emergency” with a child. #Ottawa #onted

[Ontario School Safety @ONSchoolSafety]

Climate change means that poor air quality due to fires is our new normal and a health hazard. #NowIsTheTime to invest in improvements to #IndoorAirQuality to protect students and education workers from all sorts of health hazards, including smoke. Opening a window won't cut it.

YCDSB students are organizing a rainbow clothes and walkout day to protest the Catholic boards Trustees decision to not fly the Pride Flag even though the community, teachers and students begged for it. #ycdsb #yrdsb #onted #ontario #onpoli #yorkregion #woodbridgeontario #vaugh

[EducatorAdvocateON @OnAdvocate]

I was so pleased to see the public and Catholic schools in Guelph flying the Progress/Pride flag! @YCDSB has so much to learn!

[EducatorAdvocateON @OnAdvocate]

@TheFrankDomenic @YCDSB Not happy that he then voted NOT to fly the progress flag. I’m actually disgusted.

[Laura Walton @waltonmom]

Seeing reports that @YCDSB trustees have voted not to raise the Pride flag.
Hoping reports are wrong.

Institutions that receive public funds must be inclusive.

@Sflecce isn’t this your alma mater?

[K Pan @KPanOfficial]

As an Canadian, as an educator, as a Catholic, and as a HUMAN, I am deeply disappointed and disgusted by the @YCDSB's decision NOT to fly the #PrideFlag for #PrideMonth.
You are condoning exclusivity, intolerance, and prejudice against #LGBTQ.
#YCDSB

[TECT @TECT951]

At YCDSB Board meeting to support the flying of the Pride Flag.

[EducatorAdvocateON @OnAdvocate]

@shayfly_ @RandomSecretary @OnePunchCaillou @misterdebuono Have you even read a curriculum document or text? You seem quite ignorant of the content.

As an aside, perhaps go grab a text on grammar and writing conventions.

[Laura Walton @waltonmom]

Remind me again that @ycdsb trustee meeting swarming was just “a group of concerned parents”. Seeking out someone’s workplace and going there is beyond the pale. At this point there needs to be trespassing charges laid to keep staff & students safe. #DoBetter

[EducatorAdvocateON @OnAdvocate]

@OntarioPCCaucus @fordnation We need better: education, mental health services, social services, training and employment opportunities for those without post secondary education.

We don’t need: uneducated police (no post secondary) with free academy training.
