Strangling Cuba until it collapses into chaos, or launching a cinematic special-ops mission to rendition a 94-year-old autocrat, isn’t a strategy. It’s a weapon of mass distraction from Epstein, ICE, inflation, Iran, the J6 terrorist immunization fund … The real move is magnanimity.

Librarians literally saved my life

The Auditor General’s report has echoed educator concerns. Ontario school boards are spending almost $400 million more than they receive from the Ministry for special education every year. Cuts to essential staff and programs supporting children with disabilities are the norm.

The City of London will begin construction on Philip Aziz Avenue on May 19. The road will be closed from May 25 until July 2027. Drivers are asked to proceed with care and allow extra time when travelling around campus. More information: buff.ly/CrmCxTT

The auditor general has shown the public what teachers have been trying to communicate for years: The special education funding model in #OntEd is broken. Student safety and learning are at risk. Our kids deserve so much better. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Literacy is about more than recognizing words on a page; it is also about connecting people to identities and cultures and the myriad ways that we express ourselves and communicate within and across communities. #EduSky #literacy rethinkingschools.org/articles/why...

2006: "...We find no evidence that choice improved average educational outcomes as measured by test scores, repetition rates, and years of schooling. However, we find evidence that the voucher program led to increased sorting, as the 'best' public school students left for the private sector."

A timely article! We need systems thinking here in #OntEd as the interest holders are not engaged in decision-making in any meaningful way.

I have questions. If we are really 'buying Canadian', we should be able to see where our dollars are flowing. Government and business are really opaque. How much money flows to these 'packaged solutions' - beyond a Canadian storefront? theconversation.com/to-improve-l...

#BookSky Wow. A must read.

Newly introduced legislation in Ontario will abolish the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario, and absorbing into the ministry. This is another in a long line of decisions to destroy the autonomy of university in Ontario and place them under greater and more direct government control.

This is a well-documented pattern in medical research and reflects systemic gender bias in pain assessment and treatment.👇

I remember as a kid, laying on sleeping bags in our yard with our black and white tv on the lawn so we could watch the first moon landing. We marvelled at the imagination, vision and plannning that allowed us to achieve such as thing. And the collaboration! /1

If you strip away purpose and autonomy, you don’t just reduce motivation—you reduce it to its most basic, transactional form. People will still act, but not with energy, creativity, or ownership. #EduSky #ontEd #teaching

#OntEd The shift from teachers’ college to Faculties of Education began in the 60s and all programs were Faculties of Education by 1974. Yet our own Munistry of Education continues to refer to it as teachers’ colleges- more than 50 years later. We are a female dominated profession…

So Ontario has decided to reduce the #teachereducation program to 12 months. They still refer to it as “teachers’ college” and do not account for the increased complexities in today’s classroom and believe it will help retain teachers who are leaving the profession in increasing numbers. /1

Thanks so much to @peggblair.bsky.social for joining our bookclub tonight. What an interesting discussion! One of the reasons why I love her books is precisely because of the characters she develops and how they include Canadians and places in Canada that are so rarely in books published by those
