Full inclusion leads to a sizeable number of students in classrooms frustrated by work they're incapable of doing.
It's another example of something being done out of compassion that leads to hurting those it purports to help.
Be on the lookout for the blue pumpkins in the hands of some little ones on Halloween night. The blue pumpkin represents a nonverbal child. They may not be able to communicate “Trick or Treat”, or “Thank you”. 💙
Violence in #onted schools and classrooms is on the rise, and our union is ringing the bell to say - enough! Read what @GECOETFO president @spagsmario had to say https://t.co/npSsJrNP1a #onpoli#healthandsafety
@Teachers__Unite She is absolutely right and that’s not the only board ask any EA working for any board and it’s happening there as well. Boards don’t want the public to know it but there is violence happening each and everyday in schools and classrooms.
BREAKING: An unhinged conservative couple interrupt an elementary school track-and-field meet, accuse a 9-year old girl with short hair of being a boy, and demand that the young girl produce her birth certificate in the middle of the race or be disqualified.
But it gets worse…
After the bigoted couple was asked to leave, the wife began accusing the young girl’s lesbian mothers of being “groomers,” “pedophiles,” and “genital mutilators” in front of everyone — causing the traumatized young girl to break down sobbing in tears and shaking.
They refused to leave, and eventually the police had to be called in.
One of the young girl’s mothers filed a report with the local police about the incident, declaring that, “This is absolutely a hate crime. It is a direct result of this right-wing propaganda that has become so rampant in our media.”
In response to the incident, the Central Okanagan School District says that “the persons who accosted the student and family were not from one of our Central Okanagan Public Schools. In response, the District has worked with other local schools to identify the persons and we are taking steps to formally ban them from any District property or events.“
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that the bigoted couple MUST be arrested immediately and charged with a hate crime — and consider joining and investing in Tribel, a “woke” new bigotry-free Twitter competitor I created that is currently doing a round of equity crowdfunding and just blew past $1 million raised from 2,500 of its users. The money will be used to continue to grow Tribel into a kind, accepting Twitter competitor that’s the opposite of Musk’s MAGA Twitter.

Students deserve to be in class five days a week, without disruption — critical to support positive mental and physical health, and academic achievement.
A promise we are delivering to parents.

Dear Parents, If there is a violent student in your child's class do not call the principal & blame the new teacher, call the superintendent, Trustee, MPP & Minister of Education and tell them how the lack of mental health supports, and classroom supports is affecting your child.
Every kid deserves to be treated w/ love, dignity & grace.
EVERY SINGLE. DAY.
No matter what they’ve done.
No matter what they’ve said.
…No matter how they’ve treated you.
Don’t be the person who adds to their trauma by giving up on them. Be their merchant of hope.
