Some people are actually offended by this post. People are very sensitive.

Reading high quality literature to your kids is huge for increasing their vocabulary and even improving their own cadence and pitch when they read. I can always tell, when listening to my students read aloud, whose parents read to them extensively as a small child.

@Caprico47634524 @ESL_fairy ontario‘s auditor general just released a report stating special education cuts have been deep and underfunding has occurred - is that enough of a fact for you…
English
@Caprico47634524 @ESL_fairy Cutting special education funding - is not related to declining enrolment… These kids are in the system, cutting their specialized Classes and supports and repeatedly dumping them into classrooms without help is a cost cutting measure
English
Just a reminder.
School boards across Ontario are making huge cuts to staff and programs right now.
Not because they hate kids.
Because Doug Ford has stripped away their funding over the past 8 years.
Put the blame where it belongs.

@ShamjiAdil @SylviaJonesMPP Maybe we hold politicians hostage in exchange for the records? Just kidding …lol Their lack of transparency is as unacceptable as my Joking idea
English
Over 70% of hospitals are forecasting a deficit.
When reporters filed an FOI request with @SylviaJonesMPP to learn more, her Ministry missed the deadline by TWO months.
Then, after the FOI rules changed, they claimed they could no longer release the records.
How convenient.

Premier Ford skipped question period today, one day after government documents revealed Ontario taxpayers covered nearly $200K in expenses tied to the purchase & resale of his $28.9M private jet. The opposition is now demanding he repay the money. #onpoli

@coachsteve99 @8M7 @WendyGoodes The auditor general just published a report that said special education has been cut and is being underfunded in Ontario - are they wrong too
English
@Ange8D @8M7 @WendyGoodes Wrong. This is all about “inclusion”. Kids with special needs must be in a standard classroom.
English
Nonsense!
A drop in overall board enrollment should not negatively impact specialized programs like this one.
Supervisors should be held to closer public account for these types of decisions on THEIR watch. #Onted #Ontpoli #PaulCalandra

SCOOP: TDSB to cut 15 specialized kindergarten classes for students with disabilities, after making the controversial decision last year to increase the size of the classes. It is the latest in a wave of cuts tied to a projected drop in enrolment: thetrillium.ca/news/education…
English
@ESL_fairy Could We even say it is neglect or a form of child abuse
English
Closing specialized classrooms with high levels of 1:1 support and dumping vulnerable students with complex needs into regular classrooms with no additional supports other than telling their teachers to use visuals is not actually “inclusion”. #OntEd

@CanadianGirl991 @realcdnrhetoric And when those parents do send them to school- the teacher has to Prioritize the special needs kids safety over teaching the rest of the class. So valuable learning time is lost everyday, and that really adds up during k to 12…. Likely months of learning
English
@realcdnrhetoric In the 80's the special needs kids had separate classrooms and supports to meet the needs. It worked. Now those needs get lost in the shuffle, I don't blame the parents if they keep the kids at home.
English
When you put a nonverbal kid who needs toileting support into a regular class with 30 kids, you are basically telling them to F off and go somewhere else
Looking at you, Doug Ford.

@Ange8D @8M7 @WendyGoodes I’m a disabled man in his 40’s. Don’t lecture me about health care. Funding is up massively in the health care file. From 60 billion to almost 110 now
English
@coachsteve99 @8M7 @WendyGoodes The cuts to autism funding are not what parents, educators and the community want either
English
@coachsteve99 @8M7 @WendyGoodes Actually the government wants it because they dont want to pay extra to for special education, principals, teachers and parents want specialized classes and school boards go into deficits to fund them
English
@coachsteve99 @8M7 @WendyGoodes well obviously you have access to private health care and private schools … or Are young and have not experienced the erosion of services in public health care and education since the 90s
English
@Ange8D @8M7 @WendyGoodes Don’t even start. Health care funding has almost doubled under this government.
English
@coachsteve99 @8M7 @WendyGoodes All have been cut - and kids who used to be in special classes are now in mainstream schools without support.

@coachsteve99 @8M7 @WendyGoodes People are dying waiting for health care due to service cuts… The middle class want quality education and health care … Canada used to be renowned for it
English
@coachsteve99 @8M7 @WendyGoodes What is important is service levels and they have all been cut (psychologists, speech language pathologists, occupational therapists, specialized classes, etc…) kids that used to get help 10 yrs ago get nothing
