Neoliberalism is working.

Forget it as economic philosophy. Fundamentally, it was and remains a project to redistribute power and wealth upwards.

"Doug Ford’s Tories are spending about $5 billion more than Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals. And borrowing a lot more. Yet their April budget has cut deeply into programs for people in Toronto and across the province. Where did the extra money go?": @reggcohn. https://t.co/BbGtpLifr3

Building blocks of totalitarianism: a less educated and more inebriated citizenry #onpoli

[Mike Crawley @MikeCrawleyCBC]

The word "alcohol" or "beer" appears 46 times in the Doug Ford government's first budget. The words "teacher" or "teachers" appears 25 times. #onpoli

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved / in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

Much of what's called "formative assessment" is testlike & drives teaching in the wrong direction. Preferable alternatives: Yetta Goodman's "kidwatching" (https://t.co/0EeetbVsGx) and, in math, 1-on-1 conversations as described by Marilyn Burns (https://t.co/V1prkK8Q29)

“We’re not done nation building yet. We have teenagers, children, and newborns who, without action, will certainly be claimed again by violence that is both sinister and systemic, but that can be prevented.“ https://t.co/fpcrHRnbE8

“Childhood is another country. They do things differently there. It is a place of wondrous certainty. The last home of the unconditional. Children embrace the shock of the new. ... It is a landscape wherein dwells good and bad, but mostly good.” https://t.co/rToGtREvIm

This Etobicoke school has a breakfast and snack program, but some moms saw a need for a lunch program. Now, they're serving up home-cooked meals. Read more here: https://t.co/x76v46AXKP & find out how to donate to our Sounds of the Season fundraiser here: https://t.co/wumvAH5qwG

Fantastic responses to this tweet, thoroughly repudiating vouchers. And for good reason! We already know how this story ends: more stratification and a further hollowing out of publicly funded education #canlab #cdned #onpoli
