World Class No More: Canada's global education status in #Mathematics achievement was damaged by COVID19 Pandemic school closures. The Grade 4 Math crash to 32nd (from 512 to 504) on #TIMSS2023 needs to be unpacked. Quebec led at 515, but losing ground

"Does any field have a weaker grasp of its own history than education?"
@rpondiscio reflects on his event, "Bringing High Expectations Back to Education," at @educationgadfly:
Next Wednesday, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in U.S. v. Skrmetti. This is the culmination of our fight against the barbarism of child sex-changes, and it could be a Dobbs-style earthquake in terms of protecting children. Here's what you need to know.
This story is completely insane. In 2020, a Pride group demanded that an Ontario town declare the month of June as Pride Month. The township refused, resulting in a human rights complaint on the grounds of discrimination.
The Ontario Human Rights Tribunal just ruled *against* the township. Not only does the mayor have to pay $5,000 of the $15,000 fine, but he also has to complete a human rights training course.
So in Ontario, it's basically "celebrate us and worship the God of Pride for an entire month or we'll have you brought up on discrimination charges."
Ontario's Human Rights Commission is an absolute joke.
BREAKING: Ms. Comfort Sakoma, recently driven out of her position with the Vancouver Police Department for her concerns relating to parental rights and the impact of mass immigration on “faith, family, and the preservation of Canadian culture,” confronts the backlash!

Eyes on Nova Scotia.
"The two prize recruits for the NDP now concur with the damning findings of Thinkwell Research. Our school system under successive governments is organized and staged to sustain the status quo and tranquilize captive audiences of friendlies from the circle of system partners."
The Tranquilizing Effect: What’s become of education in the current Nova Scotia election? My analysis of how & why the state of public education disappeared as a 2024 political issue. "Local voice" has been extinguished in the system #NSpoli#NSed#cdned https://t.co/hNLyWe4OLT
Remembrance Day Revelation: New @HistoricaCanada poll suggests most Canadians don't know much about their history. Time to ring alarm bells about the shriveling of history education in our schools @MLInstitute @CHEA_ACHE https://t.co/Xe4758Opzm
Educational Confusion: British Columbia's Ministry of Education has a real problem on its hands - the new #BCReportCards have little or no credibility with parents, students or teachers. It's also the grading system rejected in the 1990s in Ontario #BCed

Fuzzing Up Grades: It's official policy in British Columbia (since Sept 2023). Some 57% of parents still have no idea what "Emerging" means, while the vast majority favour letter grades ( 93% know what "A" means & only 28% correctly explained "extending" on the scale #BCpoli
New survey shows parents with kids in K-12 schools in BC find letter grades on report cards significantly clearer & easier to understand than descriptive grading terms.
@Conservative_BC is the only party committed to restoring letter grades. #bcpoli

Must watch vid. Please listen closely to: 1) her comment about "guidance counselors"; and, 2) how she's now suing with a law firm specifically focused on de-transitioning kids. The law suits heading towards schools/school boards will be a tsunami in future.
I’m at UCLA and I just met Clementine, who recently detransitioned.
When she was 12, Johanna Olson-Kennedy at the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles put her on puberty blockers.
At 13, she was put on testosterone.
At only 14 years of age, she was given a double mastectomy!
Clementine had suffered sexual abuse, and that was the source of great trauma, and is why she didn’t want to be a girl.
Johanna Olson-Kennedy didn’t care about that. Within 30 minutes of her first appointment she was told she needed to go on puberty blockers, or she might kill herself.
Her parents were told they could have a dead daughter or a live son. This is standard practice at gender clinics. The only way they can justify this child abuse is to say that kids will die if they don’t do it.
Testosterone caused psychosis so Clementine went off it at 17.
She has now just turned 20, and can probably never have kids. She’s trying to get reconstructive surgery but insurance companies only want to pay for destruction of children’s bodies, not reconstruction.
I hope Clementine sues, and helps to bring down this industry, but mostly I’m incredibly thankful for her bravery in speaking up.
If you don’t believe this is happening. please listen to her story.
'We must not publish a study that says we're harming children because people who say we're harming children will use the study as evidence that we're harming children, which might make it difficult for us to continue harming children.'
And for everyone who says that political parties "don't work" in school board elections...the provincial NDP seem to think a party's name on the ballot is important enough to go to court over.
NEW - The @bcndp are in court this morning, demanding Elections BC force the @Conservative_BC to change its name on the election ballot from: Conservative Party to BC Conservative
