Today, @fordnation introduced legislation to remove the rights of education workers to negotiate a fair deal. Here's the facts:

Education workers earn an average of 39K a year.

2/3 are women.

1/3 rely on food banks to survive.

1/2 have a second job.

They deserve better.

Stop Doug Ford’s attack on Ontario workers! I just sent an email to say: hands off workers’ right to strike! Will you send one too? #OnLab #OnPoli #EnoughIsEnough https://t.co/UczbzmxL8O

@MsHosein I did review that workbook, but I don't think it will meet our needs. Thanks!

[Brandon Grasley @bgrasley]

Anyone have details about the "D2L Ontario Math 9" textbook that's now on the Trillium List?

@outwardhound_ Got a new toy today, but the "fur" started to come out after only a few minutes :(

Three weeks left in this school year. We're implementing a new Grade 9 Math course in September, but @ONeducation hasn't released any curriculum yet. All we have is an exceptionally vague paragraph as a course description.
When exactly are we supposed to prepare? #onted

[Brandon Grasley @bgrasley]

I'm wondering again why the exponent laws are part of MPM1D. Not helpful when the rest of the course is focused on linear relations and first degree equations. This should be cut.

@ONThealth It's out of date again... is it not possible to update both the online tool and the PDFs at the same time?

[Brandon Grasley @bgrasley]

@ONTHealth The COVID-19 school and child care screening tool was updated for online screening, but not the PDF downloads (here: https://t.co/iYvI4OlEph). Will these be updated soon? Need them today.

The most frustrating part of teaching is The Schedule. It doesn't leave enough time for listening.

Just thinking this morning: what if everyone kept all their clothes in closets/dressers/etc. in the laundry room and just grabbed what they needed before showering? No more laundry baskets to drag around and put away... More space in bedrooms...

@scoffieg right?

Wait, didn't they just stop doing contact tracing in Toronto? Won't that hurt their ability to gather evidence?

Interesting to see how YouTube view count changes over time. You can see the school shutdown in March, and you can see when some kids started to disengage in May. The regular dips are Saturdays.

Started a new playlist for Advanced Functions. 3 videos so far. Help yourself if they're useful to you.
