@MarkBourrie @shoshanahjacobs Not to worry, it’s all Twitter. I’ve been gone from this app for months and my mental health is so much better. I’m closing the app now because it’s just negative trash…still.

Either Canada has become a haven of cruel, vicious racists, or Twitter is a sort of asylum for the worst people in the country (and beyond). I hope it's the latter.

I’m just saying…if plastic bags are bad (they are) then why do we all have to now buy plastic bags (garbage)? Shouldn’t purchasable bags be banned as well?

The reduction of funding for special education students is having a huge impact on their learning and the learning of their peers. I despise @fordnation .

When did retail cashiers begin to be trained to provide bills first and coins on top? That is the worst way to give somebody back their change. We now have plastic bills and the coins slide right off and onto the ground or onto the floor. Coins first please!

@VNixon1988 @MsMooreELP4 By picking up the slack from all ends, you are enabling parents to disengage from their children. This is a huge problem. Children need time to engage in activities with their loved ones.

@MsMooreELP4 The problem is that some parents just don’t. We can complain & do nothing about the status quo or we can try to be a difference maker. In fact some teachers do many of these things on their own because they want to build better citizens & not more prisons.

What are your thoughts? I like the personal finance.

@VNixon1988 What are you leaving for an individual to teach themselves and learn from experience?

@RandomSecretary I'm wearing the same Unicorn Onsie I wear every year. Then I'll wash it and pack it away until next October.

@MrTeachasaurus @RandomSecretary Our office actually bought a compact little ice maker because ice is in such demand!

@RandomSecretary It is insane! I was in the office for no more than 5 mins. looking for some forms, and 4 kids came in asking for one. I need to buy an ice maker and get myself some contracts!

@RandomSecretary We have our own little fridge with retro reusable ice packs. #MischiefManaged

@ModestTeacher Daycare

In college, I took 2-3 classes a day. Why do we assume high school students need 8 hours of classes each day?

@RandomSecretary 😂

We have a curriculum coach in our building this year. She has been very successful at micromanaging and increasing my workload.

@jendziura @angryartgal We don't give tests in Kindergarten.

Has anyone noticed that there’s zero accountability for students lately? I had a grade 11 student who didn’t pass a test I gave, and his mother blamed me. I asked her if he studied. She said no, and that he “shouldn’t have to study if you were good at your job.” #onted #teacher

@angryartgal Bahaha All you can do is laugh and shake your head (after you hang up, of course. lol)

By underfunding special education, @fordnation is abandoning all students. When we don't support our neediest students, they do whatever they can to show us. This is going to be one hell of a year. #666

@Jo10030676 @ONSchoolSafety @MamaToronto Being home during COVID proved exactly where I get infected. It’s the second week of school and I have a respiratory infection. Fun times.

@ONSchoolSafety @MamaToronto I taught for 40+ years. I never did build up 'immunity' to all the illnesses that went around. Only now that I have retired, wear a mask in public places, have I not had a cold or the flu for the last 3 years.

Kids have been packed into schools with poor air quality for a really long time. Imagine sitting in a classroom with 30 of your colleagues all day every day. How healthy would you be? Improvements to air quality in classrooms is long overdue and important for so many reasons.

@ONSchoolSafety @wrdsb The units are not being maintained. A HEPA without a new filter is not a HEPA any longer.

98% of already procured HEPAs are sitting in storage? 🤔Can you help us understand why this is @wrdsb ? We hear its a funding issue.. did you know HEPAs reduce absences by about 40% on their own? How much will you pay for supply teachers/ ed workers? Was this incorporated into the budget? Can we see the math?

@d0j0h @waltonmom @Sflecce @fordnation They want any property they can get their hands on.

.@Sflecce doesn’t give a shit about your kids’ reading, writing, or math scores. His eye is on the real prize: property owned by school boards. Because what the #VaughanDeveloperMafia wants, .@fordnation sees that it gets. #FireLecce #OntEd #onpoli theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

@bakayaroh @jennyleeshee I appreciate my principal more and more every day. I don’t have limits on any basic consumables. I do need permission for specialty items, but that’s it.

@ont_rose @jennyleeshee If you want workbooks they also come out of the budget

@whyt151 @jennyleeshee Do they supply tools to the whole job site?

@jennyleeshee Trades people are laughing.
