Debasing of Children's Classics: Pop culture references are now seeping into "updated versions" of Alice in Wonderland and Pinnochio. It's time to send a message to @Scholastic on behalf of today's parents. Go back to the orginal texts! #ELA #cdned saltwire.com/newfoundland-la…

This terrifying story illustrates just how shortstaffed #onted elementary schools are. I feel for this mother because even the best safety plans come undone quickly when support staff are away with no substitute available. #tvdsb #cdned #edchat share.google/iKwHfrNOtloUJPy…

Teachers spending their own money on classroom supplies should never happen. Unfortunately, it was normalized decades ago when classroom budgets were dramatically slashed. #onted #cdned #edchat

Why does it seem like students can simply choose to do as they please and ignore teacher direction? Learning cannot happen without behavioural expectations being adhered to. #onted #cdned #edchat

The #tvdsb decision to shorten the school day by 10 minutes and change all schools to balance day will result in students spending a larger proportion of their day sitting in chairs as opposed to playing outdoors. Is this a good idea? #onted #cdned #edchat

Buried in the Snapshot: Some 34.4% of 77,458 (or 26,645) students in New Brunswick's 206 Anglophone schools are "chronically absent" (missing 16 days a year) In 37 of those schools, they have been awarded 10 more PD Days out of school. That's nonsensical! #NBed #NBpoli #cdned

Grade Inflation: Twelve years ago Ontario school reformer Malkin Dare cut through the education-bafflegab. Restoring final exams is definitely part of the academic recovery strategy. Proliferation of AI has rendered it a necessity #cdned #ONTed #ONedu theglobeandmail.com/news/nat…

How to stop grade inflation: make students take final exams

Studies have shown that students who have to take exit exams learn more and increase their motivation

Grade Inflation: It's running rampant at all levels, K-12, colleges and universities. Explaining how it happened is far easier than producing implementable remedies. It's messy but now threatens the legitimacy of diplomas #cdned #Aflation #Bflation queensu.ca/gazette/stories/s…

Is an A still an A? The truth behind grade inflation

As concerns about grade inflation grow, evidence suggests rising marks may reflect evolving assessment practices, improved teaching strategies, and fierce competition for post-secondary spaces.
