@FixingEducation It has become normalized to pull kids out for “extended vacations” annually. If a young student misses 6 weeks of instruction, what do you think is going to happen to their learning trajectory?? Teachers can’t fix this.

@brianlilley And this would be any different if PP was PM???? Rage farming as usual…..

For kids who crave routine, special events and schedule changes have likely been overwhelming this week.

Tomorrow, many kids and adults in #OntEd may be hanging on by a thread.

Expect unexpected behaviours.

Extend grace.

Be gentle with yourself.

@MrKWisconsin @BenisonMrs Wish I could repost this 100 times!

[Mr. K, M.S.Ed 🏫 ✊🏻🧙🏼‍♂️ @MrKWisconsin]

When are my students the most focused with 100% participation and engagement?

During my direct instruction spelling lesson.

That’s not a coincidence.

Every Canadian, regardless of their opinion of the Prime Minister or political affiliation, should feel deeply offended by President Trump's remarks. We might one day be grateful for this WAKE-UP CALL. For too long, we have been complacent in our relationships with the United States and the rest of the world. We need to unite and rise to this historic occasion to shape the future of Canada. #cdnpoli

Today, @PierrePoilievre stood up in front of Canadians and said Canadians are worried about cuts to social programs. The very social programs he said Conservatives don't believe in. The very social programs he has voted against time and time again.

He is an absolute snake.

@FixingEducation “How come my kid isn’t progressing in reading and writing?!?”

“Well , when he misses the literacy block every morning and arrives just before recess…..”. 🤔

When you don’t brush and floss your teeth AND you skip some of the dental visits, you don’t get to blame the dentist for your bad teeth.

People need to STOP BLAMING SCHOOLS for kids that are behind…especially with the chronic absenteeism we’ve all noticed.

@OLimpossible @JBradshaw01 Or be able to find a supply teacher

[OL 🇨🇦 @OLimpossible]

@JBradshaw01 A stat you'll never hear about: number times a teacher finds it easier to come in while sick/injured than plan for a supply teacher.

@CFIB I’m sure this is a scale based on years service. But way to go spreading misinformation. Sure makes you look smart—not.

It's @MaritStiles all the way!

[MrsLifchis @lifchis]

@PamelaSnow2 Agreed-but it’s not “fluffy busy work” that’s wasting time-it’s teachers dealing with behaviours and de-escalating students when there’s no support that’s wasting valuable instructional time.

[MrsLifchis @lifchis]

@CTVNews CTV News, with all due respect, can we have a story about Canadians who are struggling- or thriving???

[Peter Julian 🇨🇦 @MPJulian]

Every single #Conservative just voted in House against abortion rights.

Tell your Conservative MP you’re disgusted that they want to take away a woman’s right to choose.

We can’t repeat catastrophic increase in deaths of women in US due to denial of reproductive health rights.

[MrsLifchis @lifchis]

@NarrativeHater @MrDanielBuck @AviWoolf And you’re making this assumption because you’re a teacher and don’t teach these concepts??? Because I do.
