Teachers are rising up. Our pension plan, one of the largest pension plans in the world, invests in war crimes. We are refusing to be complicit. @OTPPinfo : it's time to divest. Take action alongside these teachers at worldbeyondwar.org/otpp #DivestFromWar #OntEd

@Ms_Anchovy @1StarAtaTyme 100% Enjoy your beach day. The classroom can wait 😊

@1StarAtaTyme It’s so hot already! I think I made the right choice to go to the beach instead of into my hot and sweaty un-air conditioned classroom.

Squeezing in one last day at the beach with the kids before school starts. 🌊 ☀️ 🏖️

I was honored by the opportunity to perform my newest poem, “This Sacred Scene”, at the 2024 Democratic National Convention. A huge thank you to @KamalaHarris for having me—I am so grateful. And finally, thank you all for watching, and for your kind words and support 💙 You can share your voice by registering to vote and voting this November at whenweallvote.org 💙 #dnc2024

"Today, I want us all to consider education from a different perspective... I want us to see our #OntEd system as a dynamic force - a force that empowers not just individuals, but entire communities & our entire society." - #OSSTF President @karenosstf on our collective power ✊🏽

I was touched to see Gus Walz’s joy when his dad @Tim_Walz took the stage last night. Thankful for you showing us all what real love looks like, Gus. Let’s be a nation that embraces this kind of warmth and vulnerability, instead of making fun or mocking it. We could all use some of Gus’s example in our own lives.

My kids... 🙄

@MaryFraserH @dpsuoecta Watching the parents and community members clapping at the decision made me sick to my stomach. All I could think about was the many students who will not be accepted for who they truly are. Heartbreaking 💔

I went to Catholic school growing up, but will always send my kids to public school because I never want them to feel less-than, no matter who they turn out to be. Sign & share, from my comrades at @dpsuoecta dpsuoecta.ca/dpcdsb-pride-f…

Teachers are not therapists and schools are not treatment centres. When we short-change vulnerable students with complex needs, everyone loses. I can never forget that my child’s learning conditions are her educators’ working conditions.

Jason Bradshaw, who works at a school in Brampton, says the teacher shortage is ruining Ontario's education system—and students are paying the price. Here, he breaks down what went wrong torontolife.com/city/ontario-t…

@LeftyCaretaker I look forward to you being unbearable 😜

Thank you for all of the well wishes and kind words! It's been an excellent (if slightly harsh) reminder of what's important in life. I'm sure that I'll be absolutely unbearable once I'm back, reminding everyone to look after themselves 🤣

Afraid I'm going to be away for a while. I had a heart attack Wednesday night, and I'm currently waiting for bypass surgery. Keep fighting the good fight!!

@LeftyCaretaker Oh the books I would buy for my library!

Random thought: In return for their protected monopolies, force utility companies to subsidize rates for schools. Your average #tdsb high school uses 200k-300k every year (mostly hydro). Imagine a percentage of that going back to the school. #onted

Know why Stephen Lecce wants us all talking about cell phones (again)? So that we’re not talking about how harmful his latest funding formula is for our kids. A🧵. 1/16 #onted

“Ford gov can make all the distracting announcements they want about cell phones or vaping but w/out investing in qualified professionals that students need in schools & classrooms, student mental health needs will continue to go unaddressed” #OSSTF #OntEd windsor.ctvnews.ca/cellphones-alr…

Gonna engagement farm, I mean clean up my following list a bit. Prove you aren't a bot account. Like and RT this message.

Read this if you're still wondering why nobody wants to work in public education! "Why I Left Public Education. I spent 21 years in Hamilton schools. Drastic budget cuts and a rise in violence caused me to leave that world for good." #onted #cdned #edchat macleans.ca/society/why-i-…

@Julia_Eddie I picked up a used stick from @hockeystickman today for a tournament I'm playing in soon. Came home and had to Google who it belonged to. I believe it was you. 🏒♥️
