Yesterday, my son was disrespectful to a teacher. It clearly hurt her feelings. Unacceptable.

So this morning, I took my son by the hand and we marched right into her classroom before school started.

What I witnessed my young son do was enough to move a grown man to tears.

I watched a 5 year old boy show more humility than our current “leaders” ever do.

“I am sorry that I hurt your feelings. I didn’t think about what I was saying. It happens sometimes at home too. I’m sorry.”

Then he gave her a hug.

I was… speechless. It wasn’t what he said. It was the genuineness of his words to his teacher. He meant every word.

I am so proud. And I let him know.

We will never raise children who never make mistakes. So instead, raise children who can take accountability and learn when they do. ❤️

Where did we get the idea that highly skilled educators are easily replaceable and that just about anyone can teach? #onted #cdned #edchat

Inexperienced teachers should start in kindergarten where it's 'less demanding': Que. education minister! Such a BS attitude by elected officials who know nothing of the demands. #qced #onted #cdned #edchat

We recognize the month of June as Pride Month in solidarity with 2SLGBTQ+ students, staff and allies.

Our schools and board office will fly the Pride flag in June as part of the Board’s ongoing commitment to equity and as a symbol of inclusion for our 2SLGBTQ+ community.

2019…

ME: This was the toughest year teaching that I have ever had. At least things can’t get any worse.

2020…

ME: I stand corrected. This year was the toughest year ever, and there’s no way things can get worse.

2021…

ME: Seriously?!?!

December 6th is the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

Today is about remembering those who have experienced gender-based violence and those who we have lost to it.

Our flags will fly at half-mast from sunrise to sunset to mark the day.
