Just think about what the government could have done to support public education in Ontario if they had invested the $365M they gave to parents!

Parents elect school board trustees, by taking power away from trustees they are taking power away from parents.

What do you mean “putting parents back in the DRIVER’S seat”? Do I get to decide what type of educational environment my children will thrive in? In that case, I want smaller classes, more teachers, more EAs and more educational support staff.

We need to have high expectations for all of our Ss. Set the bar high and watch them rise. They need to know we believe in them! #LitLearn2023

When you hear someone critique education as needing to move "back to basics" it is important to ask them what they mean.
What is "basic" according to them?

Nothing in Lecce’s announcement speaks to EA supports that students need to be successful. With “legacy kids” entering back into our school Lecce continues to just look away. It takes a team to have a good education system. @OntAutism

New York Rangers captain Jacob Trouba presented longtime fan Isaiah with a full scholarship to law school.
Isaiah, a survivor of the Sandy Hook school shooting in 2012, also got to exchange phone numbers with Trouba. ❤️💙

This video implies the common people know best. That they are heroic and make better choices than experts. Sometimes, yes. But the common people joined the Nazis in Germany as much as the common people resisted them in the UK. Leadership also matters.
