@Martyupnorth_ @MarieSnyder27 🙄 Too often it feels more like a parallel universe... So you are the "fact-checker," I presume? Source, please.

@Martyupnorth_ @MarieSnyder27 Except wearing a mask protects OTHERS. It's about caring for your neighbours and protecting vulnerable people for whom it may NOT be "just a cold". Plus some of us knew one of the .04% who did not survive. Not all risks are strictly personal.

@katiecanoes Oh no! I hope it doesn't hit any of you very hard, and you all feel better soon! Take care!

Wish more ppl understood math better. Of course more vaccinated ppl will have COVID because most ppl are vaxxed. And vaccine never promised immunity, only less severity.

Attention ON Teachers: Can anyone recommend a Spec Ed Part 2 AQ? #onted @osstf

So let me get this straight: The Ontario government literally underspent by $5.5 billion this year (including $1.3 billion unspent on healthcare & $1.1 billion unspent on social supports like ODSP) during a COVID-19 crisis, overdose death crisis & a housing crisis?

Enraging.

Please #OntEd, for the love of your Jewish students, do NOT invest in this text.

Pyjamas, aka. "The One Where We Sanitize the Holocaust, Pretend Jewish Children Weren't Gassed Immediately, and Pretend Nazi Kids Were Not Explicitly Taught to Hate Jews", is a wildly harmful book.

[Jennifer Meechan @JennMeechan]

@ZackTeitel Having neither read the book nor watched the movie, I was not aware of the problems with this book. Thank you for the information.

@kdwaldock @katiecanoes what would your math students think of this??!!

[Jennifer Meechan @JennMeechan]

@IanChernencoff @senatorbrazeau I believe it comes down to RESPECT and EMPATHY. Culture is shared when the recipient comes with an open mind and heart to learn and understand and be respectful. Not when one just picks it up and plays with/profits from it.

[Jennifer Meechan @JennMeechan]

Great learning with @kdwaldock @XanWoods about HiLo texts for ELD/ELD learners #osstf

#Opinion: I survived the Augusto Pinochet dictatorship in Chile.
Today, protesters are occupying Canada's capital and blocking border crossings.
They’re demanding freedom, but I can’t see what freedom they've lost. https://t.co/i3LnkxyBs3
