I’m fairly confident that no teacher or administrator has the time during the day to call home just to lie about something a child did.

It takes courage & inner work to recognize the blinders we have. Our "Blindfold" design is a reminder that we all have things we can continue to learn & #unlearn. Want a mural like this in your workplace? [email protected] 📍@renfrewcountydsb @RockwoodSchool #RockwoodPS #RenfewDSB

By removing letter-grades and percentages from the picture, we're also getting rid of rank-and-sort. We're saying goodbye to trophy culture. Instead, we're saying that we are a learning community. We pursue proficiency together because we are all developing learners. #BCed
