You've cut teacher librarians in schools! Students won't have access.
You're a mess. #onted

There’s something special about walking into a Scholastic Book Fair.
The excitement of finding the perfect book never gets old. Visiting Nokiidaa Public School brought back memories of circling wish-list books. Some things haven’t changed and neither has the power of a good book.

It is so beautiful! It was still under construction when we visited.
A spectacular light show lit up Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia after Pope Leo blessed the basilica’s newest tower. The basilica, soaring 50 stories above Barcelona, had been under construction for nearly a century and a half. It was the improbable dream of architect Antoni Gaudí, who died in 1926 with less than 15% of the structure complete.

Children with #SpecialNeeds shouldn't have to "fit in" at school. The school should already be set up to include them. #SchoolAdvocacy open.substack.com/pub/ontspe…

The Ford government's $750 classroom gift card gimmick was insulting and admits that our schools are underfunded.
Asking teachers to buy classroom supplies is like asking nurses to shop for medical supplies before work because the hospital can't provide them.
Now we learn that $300 of the promised $750 isn't even new funding - it's being taken from existing education dollars. That's not an investment in public education. It's a shell game.
Ontario students and educators deserve properly funded classrooms, not government announcements that sound bigger than they really are. #onpoli #onted

One of the biggest misconceptions in education is that identifying a student's needs is the hardest part.
Truth:
Often, it's finding the resources, staffing, and services needed to address those needs that becomes the real challenge.

It turns out that @TorontoStar is reporting what @fordnation & @PaulCalandra called new 💰💰 for classrooms isn’t all new money after verification has shown that a good portion will replace existing school budgeted expenses.
I’m shocked the government would mislead the public.

This is big news for teachers & more importantly students in their respective classrooms. It was presented as new additional funding, which will be important to verify. This addresses a challenge that was created by years of Ministry underfunding. New💰💰for classrooms is great!

On this day in 1940, the miraculous evacuation of Allied soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk concluded. Operation Dynamo saved over 338,000 troops, including heroic efforts by Canadian naval vessels and personnel. Today, we remember the courage of those who faced impossible odds to fight another day.

By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.

Just so we're clear, this is all garbage. Special education is deeply underfunded in Ontario, and this govt has just cut an additional $4.7 million from PDSB's spec ed budget.
They're cutting access because they don't want the public to see how bad it is. Parents know. #onted

Today marks 78 years of UN Peacekeeping.
Canada played a vital role in the establishment of UN peacekeeping, and more than 125,000 Canadians have served in UN peace operations. Not surprisingly, Canadians consider peacekeeping part of the country’s identity.
