My op-ed asking the world to stop talking about "learning loss" published in @hechingerreport. Teachers were the heroes of the pandemic & the amazing results of their work are cited in here. https://t.co/iquCNiB8qC

A 13-year-old Ontario journalist who has interviewed big names in Canadian politics says the Minister of Education has been rejecting or ignoring interview requests from him for almost a year.

Every year, Nova Scotia provides Boston with its official yuletide tree as a thank you for the city's response to the 1917 #HalifaxExplosion

An estimated 2,000 people died & 9,000 more were hurt.

Aid from #Boston was the 1st to arrive, and the response has not been forgotten.

There are 37 days until Christmas.

Or 12,110 Lecce days.

When Fredrick Banting and Charles Best discovered insulin, they received a US patent for it.

Instead of using it to make millions, they sold it to the University of Toronto for $1.

When asked why, Banting said: “Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world.”

Amazing - go inside, have a first-hand look at what we built and revered, 4,600 years ago.

[Ahmed Ali @DrAhmednurAli]

Insulin should be free. It's a moral and policy failure that it isn't.

Collective bargaining is to resume. My question is, given all that @Sflecce has said, done/not done & strategy to date, how can he credibly continue as Minister of Ed leading these negotiations with @osbcucscso & other #OntEd unions? How can good faith bargaining be assured? End.

Ontario - 'What should the Ford government do next?'

Negotiate a fair deal with education workers to end the strike: 71%

Continue the approach they have taken so far and insist on a lower wage increase for workers: 29%

Ontario residents appear to be placing blame on Premier Doug Ford's Progressive Conservative government for the current contract dispute with education workers, according to a new public opinion poll released Sunday. https://t.co/huEXw45ApC

Starve the system.
Create a crisis.

This ⬇️ was the plan all along.

It has always been about diverting public $ to private pockets.

Power profits from disaster.

It’s disingenuous of the government to say that they’re using every tool to keep kids in school. They’re using one: intimidation. It takes 2 sides to negotiate and as far as I can tell only 1 has been showing up and bargaining. #CUPESolidarity

[OSBCU-CSCSO @osbcucscso]

Ministry of Education (who is also responsible for Child Care) sent a memo out last week directing centres to deny school age children space during the school day.
Because it is all about the kids, right?
Lecce gives not a fig about kids or families or clearly anyone’s rights

[Ahmed Ali @DrAhmednurAli]

It makes no sense to say education workers are too important to allow them to strike, but not valuable enough to pay a living wage. The hypocrisy is a policy choice.

I’d like to see Doug Ford live on $40k a year says one striking education worker #onpoli #onted

[David King @dkingofABC]

I am not an Ontarian, or a teacher, or an education assistant, but I have a perspective on the Ford government’s “Keeping Students in Schools Act”. I was Minister of Education in Alberta for 7 years, including the time the Charter was developed and enacted. #onted #onpoli
