Praising children - which amounts to conditional approval - just "creates a continual longing for the missing UNconditional parental appreciation and affection" that they really need. -Profs. Avi Assor & Karen Tal in the Journal of Adolescence

This!
In science we are in denial about how, like in everything else in life, a huge part, maybe the largest part, of being successful is just being the right person at the right place at the right time. Instead we pretend it's all about being a genius & hand out prestigious awards.

Our aim is to be happy—to find peace of mind. I'm not talking about the next life, or anything to do with God, but about being peaceful, happy individuals here and now.

As an educator, I am always reflecting and trying to do better. As a parent I want my kids to love themselves. How we speak about food and our bodies affects them. instagram.com/p/CrdytdwLsla/…

Today, we are deeply grieving the passing of Dr. Charles Pascal, a treasured friend, colleague and mentor. Our most heartfelt condolences are with the family at this difficult time. He will be sorely missed.

When kids give up on #math, it limits their future career and life opportunities, which is detrimental to our progress as a society.

An article in the International Journal of STEM Education, Alan Schoenfeld asserts that the way we're teaching kids math isn't working "much of the inductive part of mathematics has been lost & the deductive part is presented as rote procedures rather than a form of sense making"

The big announcement? About 46 cents per day, per student for math & literacy support. Lecce focuses on big sounding numbers like "$180 million" but we have 2 million students in Ontario. How much support do you think your child will get for 46 cents? #onpoli #onted #yrdsb

We are getting #BackToBasics in education. It starts with better schools that focus on what matters most: reading, writing, and math. Going LIVE with PA @MPPBarnesAjax to announce Ontario's plan to boost these critical skills. youtube.com/watch?v=Ki2WHdlO…
