Update:
The accused was just acquitted. Not because he is innocent or found not guilty. But because too many of the witnesses were his friends and refused to 'snitch', and the Crown was weak.
So many lives have been affected by this murderer and rapist, and he is once again free.

The murderer has a prior conviction of a violent crime, and should be tried as an adult for an adult crime.

@JM4LISD @FixingEducation Good point. Currently the buses go to different locations, but it's probably the direction that would need to be taken.

[Always learning @k_nelles]

@JM4LISD @FixingEducation It's not the scheduling, it's the cost.
I'm in a rural community, and all our students are bused to school. If some start early, and some start late, the bus would need to make 2 runs at different times.

@JM4LISD @FixingEducation I love this. I've often said high school should have 5 periods in a day, but students/teachers only have 4. They can start early/end early, or start late/end late, or take a big break in the middle - whatever suits their individual needs.
I know - busing would be a nightmare...

@DocAtCDI Can we add that background checks need to updated every x number of years?

@SneakyOps @zillowgonewild I don't even particularly like watching TV and I want that.

@BlackMediaHub I use the the TED Talk about him every year with my students.

@ohsixsilverado @Mr_S_Ont @JBradshaw01 Employees shouldn't have to prop up the system they work in. If that's also happening to you, then you should speak up and try to stop it. I'd support you in that effort.

[Always learning @k_nelles]

@ESL_fairy I completely agree!

@Mr_S_Ont @ohsixsilverado @JBradshaw01 And every year, the number goes down in June (sometimes students just forget to return, sometimes they've lost them), and up in September (I've been to yardsales or value village!)

[Always learning @k_nelles]

@Mr_S_Ont @ohsixsilverado @JBradshaw01 Excellent example. I have over 600 books in my classroom because our library was repurposed as a 'classroom'. Lack of funds means the collection is now vintage.
Most parents claim they want their child to read more, but few provide interesting books (or trips to the library).

@JBradshaw01 You don't remember it because some of what we teach is scaffolding for a bigger concept, but it isn't really used outside of the classroom.
Expanded form, for example. It helps scaffold for Scientific Notation, but I'm unaware of a use outside of class.

@JBradshaw01 I would like parents to know that it's not 'new math'. When you haven't seen it since grade 8, you forget you did it, but I promise I didn't make it up.

@ccouja @Iwearcoolshoes This is the first time I've heard anything that makes remotely any sense as to why it was agreed to in the first place. Thank you.
I still hope they get a good and fair deal. AC is certainly capable of valuing their employees.

@TorontoDave99 @poojarmalhotra @carolynhparrish Sounds like normal employment, and has nothing to do with remote or hybrid arrangements.

@Dylansm88 @Lasirois77 @EScrimshaw No, we don't. We think it's necessary and about time.

[Always learning @k_nelles]

@holly__heart @NotHoodlum Completely agree!

@happiestskipper @gunsnrosesgirl3 I've worn out two copies of Clan of the Cave Bear (from reading it so many tines) and dropped another copy in a lake- I'm on my 4th copy. Two of my children's names were heavily influenced by character names.
