Proud @PeelSchools educator.
Loving my job @woodlandsrams
Trying to find ways to help my students find their ways. Sometimes I can be philisophical like that.

@albertfong Thanks for having me on!

@zaynahbhanji @areez_bhanji @woodlandsrams @PeelSchools Students make it all worthwhile! Thanks for sharing this and for the words of thanks.
I can’t speak for everyone, but I miss seeing all of you students on a regular basis!

Today, and everyday, we should practice our own Mindfulness. "Paying attention to thoughts and feelings" is particularly important during times of uncertainly. Here are some recourses to help you with your Mindfulness journey.

Right now, stress is everywhere! Deep, calming breathing is a well-used strategy. Try our deep belly breathing practice. Once you get the hang of it you can do it almost anywhere!

Bored while socially isolating? Start a passion project! Learn a new language! Pick up a new skill!
Spend time away from your phone and with your family.
And don’t forget: we’re all in this together.

[R. Lyle @Richard_Lyle]

My advice right now: don’t worry about that test or assignment. There are more important things.
Take care of yourself and those you love. Stay healthy and stay safe.

Doug Ford tried to cover up the results of public consultations that show parents, teachers, school boards & students oppose his plan for increased class sizes & mandatory e-learning.
This morning we're making the summary public and available for all: https://t.co/m3tlOUoahS

[Here For Students @hereforstudents]

The Ford Government's plan to impose mandatory Alabama-style online learning will further the disparities in Ontario's public education system and create adversities for Ontario's most vulnerable students.

[Harvey Bischof @HarveyBischof]

Asked on @CP24 if I would appear with @Sflecce to discuss the Ford education agenda, I repeated my willingness, anytime, anywhere. Why did Lecce decline?

#OSSTF #onted #onpoli #NoCutsToEducation

[Harvey Bischof @HarveyBischof]

Imposed increases to class size averages, deep cuts to staff who provide supports to students, & secret plans to privatize e-Learning. Difficult to understand how @fordnation & @Sflecce think these changes will improve the quality of education for students. #OSSTF #onted #onpoli

[Tyler Watt 🇨🇦 @tylerwatt]

By the way @OSSTF offered to not strike if Minister @Sflecce took class size increases off the table. But he will continue lying to you saying it’s all about money. #onpoli #onted #NoCutsToEducation

[Harvey Bischof @HarveyBischof]

We will not have a full withdrawal of services during the exam period & maintain our effort to ensure that our job actions create minimal disruptions for students. Time for @Sflecce to stop the agenda of cuts to education. #OSSTF #onted #onpoli https://t.co/MdWgFuLDia

[Cory Judson @CoryJudson]

OK...

So let's get this straight.

There are millions of dollars for this but those millions are not available to help support special needs kids IN SCHOOL or to help deal with violence IN SCHOOL?

Seems @Sflecce is looking to create a problem instead of trying to solve one.

[Chris Cowley @oectagovernor]

@Sflecce So the poster falling off the wall in this tweet struck me as odd.

Then I investigated.

Turns out the minister decided to attack Ontario teachers using a stock photo from a classroom in Hortolandia, Brazil.

I even found the guy who took the picture. ⬇️

[OSSTF Communications @osstf]

It’s 2020 and OSSTF/FEESO’s resolution is to continue to stand up for publicly-funded education in Ontario. Our positions remain firm – protect class sizes, keep e-learning optional, ensure proper staffing levels to meet student needs.

#NoCutsToEducation #osstf #onted #onpoli

[Harvey Bischof @HarveyBischof]

Sadly, @Sflecce rejected our offer to delay the #OSSTF strike in some boards tomorrow if the management team agreed to return to 2018/19 staffing levels for teachers & ed workers. Clearly this gov't wants to continue to erode the quality of education in Ontario. #onted #onpoli

[Lindsay Orr @orr_lindsay]

@Sflecce Compensation wasn't listed as one of the conditions of accepting private mediation, instead #OSSTF said return the class sizes & remove the cuts then we can discuss & negotiate everything else. Now you're the only one hung up on a request of compensation, not the teacher unions.

[Green Party of Ontario @OntarioGreens]

Teachers are standing up for students' future.

This one-day strike is difficult for everyone.
For parents, for their kids, and for educators.

But teachers are the last line of defence against reckless cuts, and we support them in their action.
