Do you know empowers success in those subjects?
A full stomach
A sense of belonging
A safe environment
Clean air and filtering
Functional technology
Presence of EAs
Adequate admin and supervision
Healthy educators
And so much more
You ignore those to pander platitudes

No. It isn’t.
My dad was a construction worker. Family and friends were electricians, painters, cement finishers, brick masons, plumbers, roofers, etc.
I love the trades and want more of them. But offloading kids like this doesn’t pass the smell test

How does shuttering hospitals all over the province, limited-hours emergency rooms, funneling our money to private companies, and ignoring healthcare provider gaps for millions of people in Ontario constitute “investing in key services” and “building safer communities”?

I’ve been teaching this for years and I’m glad the histories are becoming more mainstream.
Next steps are to add the other stories from bloody, murderous summers because of anti-Black racism.
Stories like the forced eviction of every Black resident in Corbin, Kentucky
On this day in 1921, The Tulsa Race Massacre happened in the affluent black community of Greenwood in Tulsa (Black Wall Street)
White supremacists killed more than 300 African Americans and looted & burned to ground homes & businesses.
History of Tulsa before the riot

After working with kids in juvenile justice systems, in the prisons, it was alarming how frequent these stories and experiences were. Some of them particularly heinous.
Like a cop dropping a kid off deep in a hostile, rival neighborhood and making him walk home

When you get kicked out of a fraternity at Ole Miss for being “too racist,” you have traversed a bridge that very few people have crossed.
A very exclusive club.
UPDATE: Ole Miss student who made monkey noises at a Black woman has been kicked out of his frat.

They haven’t engaged with Orwell at all. They pull a quote from either quotes dot com or another tweet.
They definitely haven’t read his non-fiction. I think he’s a better essayist than novelist.

Happy Teacher Education week to all my fellow teachers!
We’re the ones, Stephen, who will be doing the heavy lifting on this policy. I don’t sense a lot of “togetherness” in how this has been rolled out, how it will be enforced beyond, and supported in what we need to do it.

There is a difference between parenting and teaching, though. You’ve never been either so the distinctions are lost on you. And you only seem to focus on talking to one group (some of us are even in both), so the take is going to be skewed. Don’t speak FOR us, speak TO us

- you are utterly unaware of classroom management obligations
- out of touch you are with educators
- oversimplified your solutions
- lacking your vision

“Something needs to be done” is weak legitimacy for this flat approach. Like I’ve mentioned in other examples of hyper-simplified prohibition (abstinence-only sex Ed; zero tolerance discipline policies), the solution is easy to announce but doesn’t fix the problem

This is spot-on.
I have offered statistics, evidence, examples, personal experiences (direct and indirect), research, legislation….
Often, the response is some bizarre hypothetical that has no bearing on the topic, lacks plausibility, and only demonstrates their ignorance.
This is the entire far right in a nutshell.
Constantly making up nightmare scenarios of white replacement conspiracies or doctors getting hired just for being Black.
When confronted it was all just "hypotheticals" because yeah none of that shit is actually happening to you
