In a new video, Jo Frost, aka Supernanny, warns that some modern parents are hindering their kids’ independence by choosing short-term convenience over teaching basic life skills.

The Instagram post featuring the video is filled with comments from teachers agreeing with her that it’s a growing concern.

Nobody talks about what a student learns the first time she gets her phone out in class, and nothing happens. She learns the policy is a suggestion. She learns that some teachers mean it and some don't. She learns which ones are worth pushing. And the one who does enforce it spends the rest of the year being called the mean one. For following the rule.

In 1979, students from Attawapiskat First Nation began attending classes in a portable building after fuel contamination damaged their school site.

More than two decades later, young advocate Shannen Koostachin launched "Shannen's Dream," calling for equitable education for First Nations children. Shannen is sadly no longer with us, but her message and memory live on today: every child deserves a safe and welcoming school. Let’s close the First Nations infrastructure gap. #ShannensDream #NIHM2026 #CTIG

PSA: Canada is co-hosting the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup. It is being incorrectly shared that is is the "first" World Cup held in Canada. WRONG!
Canada hosted the 2015 Women's World Cup.
You're welcome.

For those claiming "who cares - there is no election until 2029, earliest", just wait for the fall when teachers, students, parents and the majority of Ontarians join together in solidarity against Ford's increasing cuts to #onted. #onpoli

Things #Teachers don’t talk about:

How much of your time is wasted on PDs and training. The admin or home office call this help, but all you really wanted was an hour or two to catch up on planning and grading papers during contract time.

NEW: Doug Ford’s approval rating has fallen to the lowest level since he took office in 2018, according to non-profit pollster Angus Reid, as the PC Party continues to face backlash over the controversial purchase of a private jet. #Onpoli

Second day in a row a colleague of mine has left school with a migraine due to extreme heat. Imagine being a student, trying to learn.

We can't work from home.

Teaching conditions are learning conditions!

Please share and support @jamiewestndp.

If you haven’t taught in a classroom post-Covid, you don’t know what it is like to teach the modern student.

The students have changed.

Teaching has changed.

You have to be in the classroom daily to understand what I mean.

What do you bet that teachers will not even get the full $750 as schools are already strapped because of funding cuts? https://t.co/2dmGwge8og
