@BarrWib @Kapz85 @Teachers__Unite There is no planning in a group home nor dealing parents, report cards, IEPs, or dealing with a classroom and far less kids

651 days ago @fordnation Ford Gov got comprehensive report on how to tear down barriers in schools impeding 330,000 students with disabilities. No reforms announced! Kids with disabilities deserve better! https://t.co/bxpQDgLST8 #AODA #accessibility #OntEd

@Julesk23 @MyChosenHill Thank goodness she was adopted. Its sickening to to think that people treat pets as disposable! They are a lifetime commitment!

@CalltoActivism As a teacher this makes me extremely happy and proud that kids are doing whats right and not bowing to pressures if their friends. He sets a great example and I hope his friends see the positive in this and he forever impacted this young girl’s sense if confidence! Awesome kid!

A mother has written a touching note to the teenager who taught her daughter how to use her skateboard and it’s now gone viral: "Dear teenage boy at the skate park: You’re probably about 15 years-old, so I don’t expect you to be very mature or for you to want a little girl on your skate ramp for that matter. What you don’t know is that my daughter has been wanting to skateboard for months. I actually had to convince her that skateboarding wasn’t just for boys. So when we walked up to the skate park and saw that it was full of teenaged boys who were smoking and swearing, she immediately wanted to turn around and go home. I secretly wanted to go too because I didn’t want to have to put on my mom voice and exchange words with you. I also didn’t want my daughter to feel like she had to be scared of anyone, or that she wasn’t entitled to that skate park just as much as you were. So when she said, 'Mom it’s full of older boys,' I calmly said, 'So what, they don’t own the skate park.' She proceeded to go down the ramp in spite of you and your friends flying past her and grinding rails beside her. She only had two or three runs in before you approached her and said 'Hey, excuse me …' I immediately prepared to deliver my 'She’s allowed to use this park just as much as you guys' speech when I heard you say, 'Your feet are wrong. Can I help you?' You proceeded to spend almost an hour with my daughter showing her how to balance and steer, and she listened to you – a feat not attained by most adults. You held her hand and helped her get up when she fell down and I even heard you tell her to stay away from the rails so that she wouldn’t get hurt. I want you to know that I am proud that you are part of my community, and I want to thank you for being kind to my daughter, even though your friends made fun of you for it. She left the skate park with a sense of pride and with the confidence that she can do anything, because of you." Credit: Jeanean Thomas

@MongoosePower17 @flyingmonkey13 Absolutely its more work, speaking as an elementary teacher. Modifying work for various subjects , writing out day plans. Sometimes easier to tough it out.

@dodo Omg… what an adorable and rare connection! I would not be able to separate the kitten from the baby! She would likely miss her little human. Kind of you to foster ! Thank you for what you do
