"None of us are at our best when we're tired or stressed out, especially kids. Much of what we see as "misbehaviour" in kids is actually "stress behaviour" – the results of being over-stressed, unaware of it & unaware of what to do about it." ~ Stuart Shanker

Oliva won because Torontonians people voted FOR her not because they were voting against anyone
She won it spectacularly, positively and to bring change
BREAKING: Progressive stalwart Olivia Chow will be Toronto's next mayor, the CBC News decision desk projected Monday, elected in a stunningly tight race that saw former councillor Ana Bailão come in a close second. https://t.co/UnvTNtKSt7
One of our year 5 children has recently lost her mum. We were writing persuasive letters in English this week and she wrote this gorgeous letter. Any kind of message or response would be amazing. Please share. @DUALIPA@MrBoothY6@Mat_at_Brookes@Talk4Writing@JamieThomasTFW
That Burlington presser by @fordnation was unbelievable. For the Premier of the province to trash talk @oliviachow the way he did was disgusting. For the Premier to speak of any candidate & spread innuendo like that in favour of another is beyond belief. Apologies are needed.
We continue to make the same mistakes in education, and then complain that things aren’t working. This is why people with actual education experience should be Ministers of Education. Releasing a document, however amazing it may be, is not enough to change teaching practices.
Welp. They're doing it. #Barrie City Council are set to pass a bylaw this Wednesday night that criminalizes providing survival items to unhoused people on public property, with zero public engagement. It's undemocratic and it's mean. This is not how we take care of each other.

A pilot program brought patients from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health together with a composer for eight weeks. The end result was a near 10-minute piece of classical music that will eventually take the stage with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. https://t.co/Ae65aeGnm2
Be gentle with yourself this weekend…
Especially if you have lost a dad, are a dad who lost a child, if you never knew your dad, if you have a strained relationship with your dad… or if you always wanted to be a dad but never got your miracle.
I See You.

@OccupyDemocrats I’ve conducted many high school graduations. The students are excited and full of joy. As long as they don’t do anything obscene, we celebrated their joy with them. That principal needs to lighten up and show some love for her students. It’s a happy occasion.
AT 4:30: This is video of Hafsah Abdur-Rahman dancing across stage to receive her diploma at the Philadelphia High School For Girls’ graduation.
But she says her principal didn’t give it to her because she broke the rules by making the crowd laugh.
Tune into @6abc for more.
@brianasmithnews@6abc "Graduation was especially meaningful to Abdul-Rahman, who had endured a year of health challenges and felt she was collecting her diploma not just for herself, but also for her sister, Aisha, who was killed in 2014, at age 14, by gun violence."

Before Vegas' first season in 2017, owner Bill Foley said he expected the Golden Knights to win the Stanley Cup in six years.
Last night they won the Cup in their sixth season of existence 🤯
