Did my report cards today and happened to call home to a parent of a student I barely see. She told me she hoped I wasn't giving him a free pass. "He needs to learn his lesson. And all these understanding teachers giving him easy marks and a free ride has hurt him.".... that's the first time a parent has led me to open my grades and lower a mark. #education #educhat #onted #teach #ff

Students might not read the assignment, check the class website, follow the instructions on the worksheet or project or look at the syllabus. But if you put a learning goal on the board they will certainly pay attention to that! #edutalk #onted #educhat

#IStandWithCUPE #39kIsNotEnough #OntEd #OnLab #OnPoli

A politician who makes 170k a year said today that people making 30-50k "are not low-wage workers."

The average home in ON is $800k. So, ya, #CUPE is mostly low-wage workers. Doug Ford & Stephen Lecce govern for Elites & are completely out of touch. #OntEd

#CUPE requested early notice to the Ministry of Education in order to start negotiations as early as possible to avoid disruptions to schools and were DENIED. Don’t fall for Lecce’s lies. #CUPEStrike #OntEd #OnPoli

All Ontario school boards affected by the #CUPE strike should be offering no more than asynchronous learning until further notice. Synchronous online learning is not equitable, and certainly not a part of any (now expired) teaching contract in Ontario. #onted #ontedsolidarity

We cannot normalize the use of the Notwithstanding Clause, particularly in collective bargaining.
It's been used to eliminate the rights of CUPE workers, it's coming for all of education.
No worker will have rights if this becomes standard practice. #onted
