@breakfasttv @carynceolin @Sflecce This makes it sound like school staff aren’t trying to stop students from using both these items all day, every day! I can’t get a kid to go back to class without being yelled at by the kid. So asking (AGAIN) for the kid to put it away, because Lecce said so, will totally work.🙄

AT 8AM: @carynceolin speaks with Education Minister @Sflecce about the newly announced limit on cell phone use and the banning of vaping in the 2024-25 school year.

@MrBrownieKindie @NASA What are you talking about? I had a great view! 😂

Looking directly at the sun during #SolarEclipse without special @NASA approved eyewear! Simcoe County #HYPE! Coverrd in #clouds. #Eclipse2024

Meeting @atptour officials is as big a highlight as the players.

Most kids enjoy meeting players at @NBOtoronto…my kid only wanted to meet his favourite chair umpire! Hubby has a good eye and caught @cbernardesatp on the grounds and got Owen the photo! Thanks for stopping and making his day! 🎾😀

Month 1 of summer break…we’ve been to the cottage, to Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, St. Andrews by the Sea in NB, all over PEI and Arrowhead Provincial Park. It’s been beautiful and exhausting! Grateful for these experiences and beautiful people!

@aaronhoyland If I see someone stealing at the grocery store, I definitely didn’t see anyone stealing at the grocery store…

I can’t stress how much I’ve believed this is something that needs to happen in #onted for years!

“Classroom management isn’t about having the right rules, it’s about having the right relationships” What if good relationships come from having the right rules? What if effective boundaries give the foundation for those relationships to potentially be established? Statements like this can be quite damaging for new teachers IMO.

Wow! I haven’t seen @TheMarshallMix since 2001 and she hasn’t skipped a beat! Might even be better than before! What a show!

@ESL_fairy What a great resource to reflect skills, from an asset based lens, for newcomers!

Assessing learning skills for recently arrived newcomers can be challenging. Here is a resource to help. It includes some sample comments to get you started. docs.google.com/document/d/1ed… #OntEd #WRDSBMLL

@jennyleeshee Yes! This! Why are we not plotting these littles on a continuum? Show growth and celebrate that…and guardians can see what the child is moving towards!

@adudaclass @arkellsmusic @Base31PEC Girl, already on it! Also, I feel like I may have given @arkellsmusic the idea…I for sure messaged them back in March about playing Campfire Chords album, front to back, at Jackson Triggs Winery…and look what’s happening now! 😀

@arkellsmusic @Base31PEC @DanaMorrison5

@JBradshaw01 My kid asked me to buy Ah Caramels. Not becasue he likes them, but becasue he says he can trade them for better stuff! 😂 He’s in grade 8!

Do kids still trade things? Just thinking about how over the course of my childhood we developed fully functional economies based on marbles, pogs, and Marvel cards.

@DEEMLOR @RogersHistory A problem at my daughters school. She’s afraid to go to the bathroom. Not just vaping, casual drug use too!

@RogersHistory We have kids afraid to use the toilet because of all the vaping gangs controlling the toilet space

The number of teachers who mention the problem of vaping in toilets during the school day is astronomical. The number of ppl who complain about teachers policing toilets who also acknowledge widespread vaping is near zero.

A lovely March getaway!

@ceilidh_ca Well, I know my kid is one of the dozen. What’s with that? I’ve never played a day in my life!

I might have a few students who have taken up this recent trend. And by a few, I mean about a half a dozen…. ♟️

@RogersHistory This was something grade 7 students were doing in my sons class last year. My grade 10 daughter says it’s happening regularly. In both cases, it’s happening in school bathrooms!

Vaping - how much of a problem is it in your school?

@teenie_27 @waltonmom @Sflecce @fordnation It is. I’m sorry your child isn’t getting what they need. It’s soul crushing for parents. It’s also soul crushing for the educators when we feel helpless and it’s literally our job to help!

@DanaMorrison5 @waltonmom @Sflecce @fordnation This so sad :(

Got my kids #wrdsb report card. He needs help in all areas of his schooling. He isn't able to get EA support due to not enough EAs in the school. It is in his IEP but yet the don't have the staff. @Sflecce @fordnation Where are the EAs, my kid is falling behind #oned #ONpoli

@teenie_27 @waltonmom @Sflecce @fordnation Essentially yes. EA’s need to assist students who struggle with self-regulation and may present a danger to themselves or others. Academic support is not how EA allotment is determined. It’s tremendously difficult to be in a system that is so broken.

@teenie_27 @waltonmom @Sflecce @fordnation Recently, I did the math for a spec. ed. teacher who was feeling like a failure. The total minutes she has available to support each child on her caseload is 5.7 minutes per day. This does not account for any meetings, testing, or significant behavioural events. How is this help?
