Today we posted in support of #TransDayOfVisibility on our @playpokpok IG + TikTok accounts. We've had several unfollows and had a parent even email us to ask for a refund because of our "agenda". It's terrifying. Thread👇

We are confused by Minister Lecce’s recent comments about @etfoeducators’ bargaining dates.

We let ministry staff know we would be available to meet before Sept, but they never offered ETFO any dates in Aug. So why is ETFO being called out?

Our first update of 2022 lands in the Playroom later this week, and for the first time ever, it contains *TWO* awesome parts! Any guesses what's to come? 😉

Dear Education,

If we want tests to be true indicators of how a student will do in the real world, make them open book.

I care more about if you can find & apply info than if you can memorize it.

Sincerely,
An adult in the real world who googles info when she doesn’t know

[Frog and Toad Bot @FrogandToadbot]

Frog knocked at Toad’s door. “Toad, wake up, he cried. “Come out and see how wonderful the winter is!”

“I will not,” said Toad. “I am in my warm bed.”

Something new is coming next week, and it may or may not involve these noises. 👀
