@osstfd19otbu On what, exactly? Removing the person tweeting personal views from a union account from a leadership position? Sensitivity training for your exec members?
@PDSBDirector@PeelSchools This picture just makes me angry. As someone who is immunocompromised and is forced to be in a school building all day in unsafe conditions - it is exactly this entitled behaviour that makes it even more unsafe. #wearadammask to be more inclusive 🤬
hey "equity" seeking school boards/places of biz who are framing masking as a 'choice' - well, a cornerstone of equity is centring the most impacted, framing masking as a 'choice' is centring the least impacted, removing masks is the exact opposite of equity #onpoli#onted
Real learning loss is:
- students not having a teacher because they resigned.
- students having teachers who are burnt out.
- students having teachers who are struggling to survive so they have to work another job.
- students not having the resources that they need.
We can't blame teacher burn out and attrition just on the pandemic. It hasn't helped, but teachers burned out without support, encouragement, and appreciation. They need to be valued and engaged as professionals.
You shouldn't have to be immunocompromised or be a caregiver for someone who is immunocompromised, to see how important it is to continue wearing a mask.
i know politicians now like saying "people have had enough" but not everyone felt this pandemic equally – the immunocompromised, poor, people with disabilities, communities of colour, the elderly. lifting protections without investing in the solutions we need feels doubly cruel.
If your idea of "learning to live with COVID" means that People with Disabilities, immunocompromised people and young children have to stay at home while the rest of society opens up without adequate protections…you are part of the problem, not the solution.
when people keep saying “we need to learn to live with covid” without also calling for major public investments to protect people, what they’re really saying is they’re okay with covid being a disease for the poor, racialized, unhoused, people with disabilities, and our elders.
@imgrund@Sflecce Unfortunately, unmasked basketball has been happening at my school every day, all year. Some people think the rules don't apply to them and don't care at all about the well-being of others.
In Iowa, they are considering putting cameras in classrooms to stream. I think this is an excellent idea as parents will be able to see what happens in classrooms when all the teachers quit.
