Respectfully, can't believe he is still available, yet limiting is recruiting to D1 schools only.
Respectfully, with nearly 50 % of the portal still available, proven NCAA players, may want to rethink that strategy.

To many people view elementary schools as Daycare & blame teachers for any & all closures. The anti-teacher movement begins. Lecce& Ford have made teachers the villians & many have drank the coolaide. Advocating 4 safe schools is viewed as complaining/spoiled teachers.

This is an example of a person with no healthcare background appointed as the Ministry of Health during a pandemic - she is dazed & confused. When you have Ministers, with no background in the area, trying to sound intelligent often the outcome is the opposite. Lecce is the same.

Parents must learn to allow their child to fail, in order for him/her to learn. Being a supporter of your child is much different from being an enabler of bad behaviour and habits. Your child can be wrong and may even be the problem - not the coach.

As we know PS are publicly funded. Public school education sits at the mercy of political figures that have an agenda, manipulate & use children as pawns. Private schools just buy it & move on. Money does talk & walk. Lecce is a product of that system. He can't relate to PS.

Ontario has 2.3 hospital beds per 1000 people. The average of the OECD is 4.8 hospital beds per 1000. This is a shortfall of 2.5 beds for every 1000 people. As a consequence, Ontario has the most overcrowded hospitals in the developed world.

This is a perfect example of the socio-economic imbalances in our ED system (which Lecce was educated in). We can't deny if you are able to pay $20,000 per year to attend private elementary/HS you expect, demand & are given a safer environment, smaller classes, etc to learn.

🚨Clinics, hospitals, ERs, ventilators, etc are NOT self operating. Frontline MDs & Nurses in communities have NO PPE. Scarce PPE in hosps heavily rationed. If healthcare frontlines not protected IMMEDIATELY by govts, we’ve already lost war against
