AMAZING NEWS: The team @thelocalhealth has introduced the Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) Tracker—a citizen-powered tool for anonymous reporting of rapid antigen test results for Toronto students.

RT to spread the word and to show them how much you appreciate their work & generosity.

The horrific irony is that the Canadian government is sending "thoughts and prayers" after the remains of 215 Indigenous children were found at a residential school…all while continuing to fight residential school survivors in court.

Thank you for this thread, @OnaagoshinAnang.

Please read it.

[First Evening Star @OnaagoshinAnang]

I want to articulate this well, and forgive me if I don’t but it’s hard as I’m just overwhelmed. So many of us are.

The news about Kamloops Indian Residential School is not new. It’s simply not. But the numbers are. And they’re shocking. /1

"It certainly doesn’t help that during periods of school closure, our govt has made little effort to make classrooms safer. They haven’t meaningfully reduced class sizes or improved ventilation, or impl'd rigorous & workable test & trace programs." #onted

@parentaction4ed Just a little correction that 1:5k seem to develop severe inflammatory disease. Long COVID is much more common.

[OntarioSAFE @OntarioSafe]

If you haven’t already, please head to https://t.co/5yveKRx65k to tell #onted school boards that you won’t accept hybrid learning in #onted.

Then remind others to do the same.

Opening schools for TWO weeks does what? It increases the odds of a 4th surge, it puts teachers, who are not vaccinated or may have a one shot recently, at increased risk and ensures we have a driver of transmission before the government's surprising reasonable opening plan. 🙄🤨

[Muna Kadri @munakadri]

The message has been consistent from families and educators, the hybrid model doesn’t work.

The #HybridHurtsKids team at @ETFOPeel PAC met again to update our plan. Our board did the right thing by eliminating the broad implementation of Hybrid in elementary. However, Special Education students and workers have endured the Hybrid Model all year. It must stop. #OntEd

🚨BREAKING:
Parent Committee Chairs from 76 public school boards call on Ford to halt plans for permanent online learning.

The “proposal may be promoting the online learning option to the detriment of student well-being & undermining the integrity of our ed’n system.” #onted
