Extremely disappointed with the YRCDSB decision regarding the Pride Flag. It's disheartening, and frankly shocking, to see a publicly-funded institution decide to not promote inclusivity and support 2SLGBTQ+ students. This is all the more reason why we need to continue to advocate for an inclusive and accepting educational environment for all. #InclusivityMatters
Do a classroom next
Do a hospital next
Do a LTC home next
Do a food bank next
Do a homeless shelter next
Do a dinnertime at someone's home when there's no food to eat in the house
Do something productive for once instead of shitty photo ops with tone deaf businesses.
Just a reminder that the government providing funding for one educational assistant to run between 6 students with safety needs is not actually “meeting the needs of vulnerable learners”.
At best it’s “putting out fires.”
Kids deserve access to consistent, proactive support.
Hey @GreenGiant - I know this stuff happens probably one bag in 10,000 - but we found our bag of peas had added “claw”. This is an issue. Let me know if you need batch # or something. And how we resolve.
A few days ago, five people were murdered at a gay bar in Colorado Springs. Anyone saying @JustinTrudeau has better things to do than being on @canadasdragrace should read the room and think about what this means to the queer community in Canada and around the world.
@Sflecce@waltonmom is an EA who works with children. @Sflecce is a career politician who has never spent a day in a public school working with any students. I know who I put my trust in to actually care about kids. The person who actually works with kids.
Did you know that students w needs enter the school system in JK w/out any support?Did you know EAs placed w other students in other grades get diverted to JK/SK classes to support these students?This happens all the time. Support for the 1st kid got cut in 1/2 just like that.
As of today:
- Schools are closed even though @fordnation vowed it wouldn't happen
- 1.6% of children in the Ontario Autism Program are being serviced & he won't give updates
- Children's hospitals are overcrowded w/ no plans to address it
This is Doug Ford "putting kids first."
I am a parent. I want my child to be in more than a building called a school. I want them to be safe, supported, for the youngest in their school to be adequately cared for. I want those who work there to be fairly paid, have adequate prep time & sick leave. I support @osbcucscso
“We are with the students”. Us students are actually well aware you aren’t and haven’t been for as long as you’ve been in government. I wrote my sentiments to the minister of education @Sflecce and I urge everyone to do the same. #Onted#OnPoli#IStandWithCUPE#ontedsolidarity
The fact that having to wait 3h at YYZ is a national crisis but having to wait 8,10 or 16h in the ER isn’t just shows how screwed up our priorities are
Shout out to everyone in Ontario's education system - students, education workers, admin, Boards etc - for getting through another week. Thank you for all you do. You are so appreciated.
