he/him, special Ed teacher for many years, support LGBTQ+, students with ASD, anxiety and depression, we need system change for spec. Ed., opinions are my own
@atrupar Why, capitalist greed. Multinational companies manufacturing where their is cheap labour (maybe exploitive, child, indentured), less environmental controls, no recourse if workers are injured, etc.
@FixingEducation It’s parents! They need to teach resilience. Parents use phones and video games to quiet children and have time to themselves, etc. parents need to teach them what to do when they are bored, and how to entertain themselves without electronics
@BenisonMrs I get it, it sounds really bad-needs rewording‘Nonsense words’ are used to identify letter-sound correctness as opposed to sight word memorization. This can be used to identify which letters or combinations a student is having trouble with and help them learn to sound out words.
@Teachers__Unite For many schools, one extra teacher could make straight grades instead of splits. To save money they cut that teachers. We need more research showing the negative impact on split grades on education outcomes and teacher retention.
@eduleadership@educatingsped Agreed, as long as it is done with compassion. If a student is belittled or other students tease them for a wrong answer and the teacher doesn’t step in, then a problem is created.
@JamesAFurey I think banning books and whitewashing the curriculum is radical. Radical is from your point of view, of course you don’t see right wing extremism as radical!
Silence from Sylvia Jones, Doug Ford, Stephen Lecce, Kinga Surma, Paul Calandra and Prabmeet Sarkaria as Tina Yazdan reports that over 11,000 Ontarians died waiting for surgeries, MRIs and CT scans as Doug Ford and Sylvia Jones cutting $21B from Heathcare.
Inclusion while so well intentioned to de-stigmatize children with special needs is creating classrooms where kids are feared. Instead of embracing this philosophy, supporting these children and fostering community, govt used it to cut costs. Without support it creates division
@bdotpapi @tomloveless99 No one who goes into teaching because they think it is soft stays in teaching. It’s not soft! I have worked in a number of industries. Have you taught? Do you know what it takes?
