Thread: I read it again this morning:
"Everything like letters of recommendation and essays and GPA can be easily manipulated by the wealthy, so we need The SAT because it's standardized and fair."

I've been thinking about this quote a lot in the last 24 hours because I'm one of a handful of English public school board trustees in Ontario. Like other elected officials, I stepped up to run because I thought I could make a difference and be helpful to the community I live in.
UPDATED: “Let me be very clear to the school boards: they aren’t medical experts. The chief medical officer is the expert,” Premier Doug Ford said. trib.al/6dIIXcW

Ok. Deep breath.
I think we may look back on this as the first Great Information War. Except we're already 8 years in.
The first Great Information War began in 2014. The invasion of Ukraine is the latest front. And the idea it doesn't already involve us is fiction, a lie.

Well, there we go. For all of the astronomical figures that have been bandied about on social media, the sum total of participants in the truck convoy today (transports, passenger vehicles, and supporters on the sidelines) was under 1000. I’ve been to bigger Portuguese weddings.

“It's important for Indigenous students to have role models they can see and have conversations with, so then they can dream big and know that their dreams are achievable.”
Our @ind_futures_eng takeover this week continues with a focus on youth outreach.

When Chris Williams—our first ever Indigenous and Black Engineering and Technology Momentum Fellowship recipient—mentioned that he'd uncovered an old photo of his father at work in a lab, we thought it would be fun to replicate that same photo with Chris.
