Make them essential, you cowards @fordnation @Sflecce

Jan 4: close schools b/c of threatened health system capacity, but school has always been safe.
Jan 17: health system capacity much worse and very little has been done to make schools safer...so let's reopen school.
I want kids in school, but the logic is difficult to follow.

Next year’s PDSB timetable means that with no daily prep every other week, teachers will be given no paid time to phone parents, mark student work, prepare lessons, review IEPs, collaborate with colleagues, differentiate their instruction and more. This will hurt student learning

You know what kills the spirit? Being forced to do something you know doesn't work. @PeelSchools #NoHybrid #HybridHurts
These are powerful and amazing! – at Caledon, Ontario
As a class we discussed the atrocities of residential schools in Canada. These are some of the artworks that surfaced from that discussion @HumberviewSS @HumberviewArts #studio122 #artspeaks
Make sure you check this out of you haven't already! @ms_simsimma is the best option by far! She means what she says, gets stuff done, a fantastic teacher, a fierce advocate, and she is a wonderful human being! – at Caledon, Ontario

There ARE problems with vaccine supply. But when there's plenty at a pharmacy in an upscale neighborhood & zero at a hot zone community centre in the same city at the same time...that's not supply. That's misallocation. That's unforgiveable. #EquityMatters

Chauvin is the part of the iceberg above the water. Whether or not he falls doesn’t change the fact the system that buoyed him must be dismantled.

I was 13 when I saw 4 police officers go free following the brutal beating of Rodney King.
Today my 13-year-old daughter saw Derek Chauvin charged with murder.
We are heading in the right direction. #BlackLivesMatter

Darnella Frazier. Thank you. As a brave 17-year old standing on that curb in Minneapolis, you took out your phone and hit record. You changed the world. No film in our time has been more important than yours. Now the rise-up, the fight, moves quickly forward. Thank you, Darnella.

What’s in a name?
I explored that question for my article: globalnews.ca/news/7755403/n…
Check it out for more on what I heard from linguistics experts, people who’ve had challenges with their own names, how I’ve been saying mine wrong most of my life and why I decided to stop now.

Any folx who demand action after the recent events at AMPA - see this petition. Note that provincial #OSSTF declined to meet with members of @OSSTFD19 @OSSTFtoronto and @OSSTFD20TEACHER. Members doing anti-racist work are being ignored and denied. Its abhorrent. Do better.

Public service announcement: if you did not follow public health protocols this Easter weekend, please do not send your kids into schools this week. We are trying to keep the system afloat.
Sincerely,

Essential workers like those in grocery stores, factory workers, childcare facilities, and schools must be prioritized for vaccines for safety of those they interact with on the job. Change the vaccination plan to keep the public safe! @Sflecce @fordnation @celliottability – at Caledon, Ontario

This is math. These numbers are real. This thread tells us that (in Ontario), schools are now not just mirrors, but drivers, of community transmission. Pay attention #onpoli #OntEd #MakeSchoolsSafer

I bet if #onted Educators and nurses managed the #vaccine rollout everyone would be vaccinated within a month! They’d probably get stickers too. @fordnation need help?
