@munakadri Some people have no choice but to drive because public transit is not even an option. And we live in the North where winter roads are horrible so we drive safe and heavy vehicles so our gas bills are double and triple that.
#NBE@WoodroffeHS@kimelmer @NishVPKwe Another student read their personal land acknowledgement in morning announcements. Actions to accompany this learning will hopefully be in partnership w/ Indigenous community partners w/ knowledge of Rights and 94 calls to action.
As of this morning there are 222 COVID cases in Kashechewan.
144 are children - as young as 7 weeks.
Many children already have compromised lungs and immune systems from mould.
@MarcMillerVM's office told the community to keep COVID cases in homes that are massively overcrowded.
There are ONLY administrative benefits to hybrid learning. ZERO pedagogical benefits.
It is a terrible way to learn and teach.
But this administrative benefit is why YCDSB chose it for the 2020-2021 school year, and why some others are following suit in 2021-2022.
Seeing a lot of “if these children were white ...” rhetoric everywhere. If you have to (re)imagine or (re)invent Indigenous bodies, whitewashing them to evoke empathy or compassion, know that this way of thinking is completely fucked up because it invokes (ongoing) erasure.

@MichMVRogers @Beattycation @DavidPram2@Teachers__Unite I spent tons of time creating my own google slides this year but would not want to have to share them with all other teachers to access them daily. I log in to my own google account but in order to do that I need to log the other teacher out.
@MichMVRogers @Beattycation @DavidPram2@Teachers__Unite How does the itinerant teacher access any of their online programming to share ont eh screen with the ones at home
@NDP@theJagmeetSingh@MeganALeslie I knew her as a high school student and I can honestly say she inspired me way back then. Her music influence (her local radio show was great) and her involvement in environment activism stood out to me as a 15 year old.
