This is definitely worth a listen! @PodHarmony can you find Ms Coulson @jenneleb ❤️

I'm having to remind myself to unclench my jaw about 26 times/day. Anyone else?

The competition is fierce but the prize for the most despicable Covid-19 Disaster Capitalist goes to Alberta premier @jkenney who laid off 20k education workers in a pandemic + today found $7-billion for the Keystone XL pipeline to carry's Alberta's currently worthless crude

@allthewayshella @shmitzysays @ta06 @Alberta_UCP Well I have some choice words should she want to come for a visit.

@sbts1979 @EMB428 @MLA_Karen @shmitzysays @ta06 @Alberta_UCP My board will do their best, they were blindsided as well, but they won’t be able to do much. It’s a shameful way of delivery.

[Jenn @jennbemin]

@jenr8ingsynergy @shmitzysays @ta06 @Alberta_UCP It’s just wrong. I knew it was going to happen, but giving my employer 15 mins notice before you issued the press release? Cowdardly. I will still be checking on those kiddos and parents that I’m worried about. Because that’s what I do. Who I am. Jerks.

It's been said, but it bears repeating. The $30 million war room is still standing. Educational assistants are not. This is the @jkenney 's Alberta #ableg #abed

[Emma Jackson @EmmaJackson57]

alberta, don’t be fooled.

Kenney slashing $128 million from public ed in the middle of a global pandemic is a DELIBERATE move to starve public schools, create an artificial crisis, and force “school choice”— i.e. privately run, publicly funded charters.

we know this playbook.

[Jenn @jennbemin]

@sbts1979 @shmitzysays @ta06 @Alberta_UCP Ugh. That’s awful. I’m so sorry.

[Jenn @jennbemin]

@BC_Albertan @shmitzysays @ta06 @Alberta_UCP Thank you. We will be fine. Like I said, not shocked. Annoyed beyond belief, but not shocked. We will figure this out. ❤️

Pro sports are suspended & not one person asking athletes to justify their millions during shutdown. Meanwhile teachers w/ kids at home are expected to sit in front of a video chatroom 14 hrs a day teaching & taking attendance or people lose their minds about them getting paid!

If there's a baby boom in 9 months, it'll consist entirely of first-born children.

@debtroppmann @StewartYYC @rum4alan Not near as bad as feminine hygiene aisle. Lol. That is a holy moly moment ...

[The Modest Teacher @ModestTeacher]

Students:

Read a book.

And when you finish that one, read another one.

No reading logs, no book reports.

Just read. That will help as much as anything during this time away from school.

I work in a kindergarten class & a child came with his mom to see if there would be anybody in class (there wasn’t) so he picked up his belongings. He was dressed like a leprechaun just in case. I cried when he left. Teachers & support staff are heartbroken. They love your kids.

[Jenn @jennbemin]

Love!

Come and find your name and a message from your teacher! This is your place... ❤️❤️❤️ #WeAreCBE #bantingisthebest #bandbisinourhearts

Calgary parents and teachers! Today @sprawlcalgary is launching a kids section. We're asking local kids to tell their own stories of what's happening right now. Take a look! https://t.co/2e2KUXuXyQ #sprawlkidsyyc

[☕ Lame Owl @NancyLameOwl]

To parents entertaining kids during social distancing and quarantine: IF YOU KEEP THEM ALIVE THAT IS SUFFICIENT. Don't feel guilty if you're not enriching their souls, teaching them kumihimo & sign language & engaging their spirits. Toss them some fish sticks; they'll be fine.
