In this time of emboldened 2SLGBTQ+ hate, let us stand together against transphobia and homophobia and protect those who are targets of bigotry and discrimination. #onted we must act to ensure all students feel safe and included.

Chronic underfunding hurts kids, particularly those with special education needs. The Ford government must do better for students. #onted

It's absolutely wild that teachers have to fight tooth and nail against the government and boards of education just to secure improvements for students! #onted#cdned#edchat
Ford's latest scheme takes millions out of schools to send families $50/year for private tutoring. Worse still: they're wasting big $$ on a glossy new ad campaign.
It's time to prioritize public education over self-promotion.

Making someone feel seen, heard, and understood is something educators do daily, yet it is something I've never seen this ON government do with educators. #onted
On the first full day of this new parliament, Ford and his health minister went from denying the health care crisis to finally admitting that they're prepared to use it to make the case for privatization.
The threat is real and we need to stop it in its tracks.

This is where we are in Ontario Education: Minister plans a media event where he crosses numerous boundaries. Soon after Conservative MPPs share an infographic trumpeting the government’s so-called ‘plan’ for education.
Infographic misspells the word education.

New report from @PeopleForEd confirms major mental health crisis in our schools. In #TVDSB, staff mental health leaves have skyrocketed & student mental health needs are 4x greater than pre-COVID. The Ford govt must stop ignoring school mental health needs #ONPoli#OntEd#LdnOnt
Can't Believe this Ridiculous testing is still there anyway? Waterloo school board wants to pause EQAO testing, saying students are stressed enough | CBC News https://t.co/wJqQQRRgSX
Another fun morning of Tweetmath. We had some good discussion about possible number sentences and lots of strategies for calculating the total cost. @tvdsbmathk8@Hoog_Ash
