@JBradshaw01 Interesting. I love the idea of a grade 9 orientation that isnt set during the school holidays. Our PD was August 30th...full classes on the 3rd. It's a terribly long week for the students with no real ease into routine
@ChandraPasma Omg! Seriously? Business Studies teachers have been screaming this for years! Yet it only gets listened to or credited to a random conversation in a furniture store? Way to go Ontario!
Can we please stop saying that when students are absent, they need to make up "missed work?" They need to make up the missed LEARNING. It's not the work that's important. It's the learning. And that is difficult to replicate through "work packages".
@diversedbd @HelenRachelB @JBradshaw01 Unrealistic bc they are unattainable. How can we ask them to be adults when they are not yet adults? We want them 2 b responsible & make decisions,but we get upset about those decisions. We've sheltered them for yrs &then we say it's their fault? That's unrealistic as a goal
Hey @Sflecce and @fordnation. Just reminding you that it's Teacher Appreciation week this week... as it seems you forgot. Since you don't visit actual classrooms, it must be your "out of sight, out of mind" rhetoric
@MikeJToronto He's not scared to spend money. He's scared to acknowledge the hard work of those in education and invest in the resources to make it better. Probably because he knows he's been wrong since the beginning
Know why Stephen Lecce wants us all talking about cell phones (again)?
So that we’re not talking about how harmful his latest funding formula is for our kids.
A🧵.

BREAKING: Enbridge made 1.73 Billion last year and now is laying off 650 employees, oh and your rates are going up....why isn't Ford or Poilievre confronting corporate greed?
What if we told you there was a place where it takes seven weeks to get a doctor's appointment?
What if we told you there was a place where, to save 💵, your Premier would force kids to take e-learning courses?
What if we told you, you already live there? 🥴

@kevin_kilgour1@KarlHeinzSmith1@Teachers__Unite You quit from a job...you retire from a profession.
Yes, both mean that you leave that role... not stop working all together.
When teachers retire early, they are leaving a good paying job for something that probably pays less, but has a better life balance
@teacher_meghan@HPhysicsteacher@Teachers__Unite Maybe it's time to have entrance exams? Or grade 12 is the time to have standardized tests/exams... takes out some of the mark inflation we are seeing coming out of some boards/schools.
A woman has gone viral online for declaring that she will not be tipping on any drive-thru, self-serve, walk-up or to-go food orders 💰
What's YOUR take on this? Do you normally tip in these instances?
@Sflecce@MichaelParsa@MichaelTibollo@MurphyGallagher Hmmm...so which of your donor friends has a language degree and needs a teaching job? Your "funding" in Ontario schools always has ulterior motives with you and your friends directly benefitting.
Sei una vergogna!
Get your friends to translate that one for you
This is officially the last one of my favourite pens. I am guarding it with my life. Can you help @cambriancollege ?
I know you feel my pain @brianvendramin 😀
