@PinkneyMichael Great photo. What a tribute to the icon.

Forty-two years ago today, Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope. He was just a kid with a dream and a plan. Too many of us dream, but don’t plan. Or plan and don’t take the first step. Maybe today will be different.

“I’m very concerned that our society is much more concerned with information than wonder, in noise rather than silence. How do we encourage reflection? … Oh my, this is a noisy world.”

Knowing the chance of getting published is slim makes it no less exciting finishing the first draft of a novel. #nowtherealworkbegins #editing #writing

@kibblesmith When Kevin in Home Alone 2 says “Why not, I’m not driving.” to a second ice cream scoop by the hotel room service. I say it for basically everything…

A mark of an open mind is being more committed to your curiosity than to your convictions.

The goal of learning is not to shield old views against new facts. It's to revise old views to incorporate new facts.

Ideas are possibilities to explore, not certainties to defend.

@ThatEricAlper Sure, why not, “I’m not driving.”

[Scott Kemp @kempscott]

Excellent, important read for everyone considering the mental toll of the last couple years. It's hard to remember, the path through this is through connectedness.

I feel bad for educators who can’t find anything to laugh about daily. Yea, our job is tough, but man, when I reflect over my days, kids, and adults alike, do some of the weirdest, funniest stuff. 😂 If you can’t find anything throughout the day to make you smile, look harder.

@rodrigue_vp @morganhousel Length should equal nuance. We need to be teaching students to include/consider and challenge for nuance.

@PinkneyMichael What a champion!! That’s incredible. 3 hours is a long row!!

[Scott Kemp @kempscott]

@PinkneyMichael The Pinkneys are tough as nails. Love it!

@Mr__Lambert @OCJHSS @wrdsb I’m not half the teacher I am without your friendships @OCJHSS and @Mr__Lambert. In packing up I found a few OCA’s in need of marking. Thanks for the memories. P.S. - Dave you’re right, I’m not dying.

Since we're on track for another minority government anyway, why not just adopt proportional representation so they're stable enough to last longer than 2 years at a time?

@mscarliparsons Here’s a question: Is it a “brave conversation” if one person believes they are right and moral and just and the purpose of the “conversation” is to change behaviour/perspective of the other? That doesn’t seem like a conversation…

@calliesockett @hicknell @choirchoirchoir @janetredmond7 @Karen_Wilson__ Wow! That feels like a pandemic ago… Always a night of joy!

If we end up naming a school after our newest gold medalist, the most Canadian thing would be to call it De Grasse Junior High.

Michael Woods is King 👑 of the Mountains! ⛰️

@OCJHSS @theloudlady I think choice of texts is the critical element. I would never advocate being a slave to the canon, but thinking a book can’t teach us something just because it was taught “when we were in school” is equally problematic. I don’t disagree BNW is a tough slog at times.
