@Em203menna Schools suffer from underfunding in so many different ways including a lack of basic resources for students!

When schools are provided the proper funding/resources for students, we can see how extracurricular activities fosters a sense of community as well as provides a stress outlet that differs from day to day activities.

Wondering how PFAS end up in your water💧? #EM203Robin #PFAS

threw together a quick concept map on the outdated education system, highlighting how ancient syllabi, bureaucratic loops, and resistance to change are holding us back. dropped a few solution ideas too. open to thoughts. #EM203problems

It’s important to find balance when using social media

Not only with this ban be challenged in court, all sporting associations should refuse to host national or international sporting events in Alberta. Sport must include everyone. Stop the discrimination and injustice. cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

Food for thought this week: LGBTQ+ education isn’t “agenda pushing”… it’s life-saving. It’s not political. It’s human. #EM203Robin #queeryouthmatter #safeschools #access @KristopherWells @FaeJohnstone I want to hear your thoughts on queer education in Canadian schools🇨🇦

This picture represents an upstream solution to this issue, as Canada has started to provide more recreational/ green spaces in places that have little access to them.

We have been hated before. We have been targeted before. We have been here before. We won then. We will win now. If the far right and their friends in public office want to start a culture war on 2SLGBTQIA+ issues, we will rise to the challenge. And we will win. #NewProfilePic

@KristopherWells I am a university student studying inclusive education practices in Ontario. What is one policy change that you believe would make the biggest difference for LGBTQ+ youth in schools? Would love to hear your thoughts🌈📚 #LGBTQ #educationmatters #inclusiveed

Photo taken from glsen.org/sites/default/… the solution is to provide safe spaces and respective education for queer identities! GSA groups and supportive student staff relationships are only a start! #EM203Robin #week10 #lgbtqaccess

PS. I went to Toronto pride the other day, so this issue is feeling even more real right now! Trans and queer rights matter!!!!!!!

“It speaks to the danger of misinformation… and the danger of political polarization.” What’s happening in schools was/should never be a debate. It is lives at stake. Trans students deserve affirmative, inclusive education. Full stop. 🏳️‍⚧️ youtu.be/B2X59p2WFSA?si… #EM203Robin

@stephaniebowman I know people in the workforce working outside during this current heat wave and are being forced to do 30 min outside and 30 min inside. No child should be forced to sit through a school day in the heat when even the working class is taking breaks. Make it make sense!

This year, I've been in elementary schools without A/C where classrooms were so hot that kids were sweating in their seats. This would be completely unacceptable in an adult workplace. Why is it okay for our children? #onpoli

@kyramcint16 identified household duties can impact access to education. Juggling my own family responsibilities alongside school, this could not be more true. The more going on at home, the less time to focus on school and teachers need to be mindful of this #EM203Problems

#EM203Robin #EM203Research Only 6 states require LGBTQ+ inclusion in schools, but yet “environments with inclusive curricula are safer learning environments for youth and have better educational outcomes” learn more at apa.org/topics/lgbtq/l…

@kyramcint16 Identified the problem of language barriers: Institutions lacking the resources to assist ESL (english second language) students. We need more awareness surrounding language needs and translation requirements! #EM203problems

@lsaly275260 Discusses the inability to pursue higher education! Access isssues are huge! Post-secondary shouldn’t be a privilege. Everyone deserves a fair shot at their future! 🎓📚#educationforall #accessmatters #EM203Problems

@Em203menna Identified problem: Staff support within schools — lack of ECE’s and special needs support. Many educators are stretched too thin with large class sizes and staffing shortages! It is time to invest in people who make learning possible✨📚#EM203Problems
