Autistic children in Ontario are STILL waiting YEARS to access services, therapies, support & education. What happened to early intervention? Michael Parsa Doug Ford @ToddSmithPC #50KIsNotOK #AutismIsLifelong #onted #onpoli

Are any other Ontarians tired of the mainstream media only covering the Ontario PC Party in their articles, especially since they don’t ever do anything but spew rhetoric? I would like to see balanced coverage of the Ontario NDP, the OntarioLiberalParty & the Green Party of Ontario as well.

As I skim my Twitter feed this AM it occurs to me that America and the world are going to be saved by a Black woman and a bunch of crazy cat ladies. And I am so here for it. Because as a Canadian, I know they're saving us too. Trump would be so bad for ALL of us.

Admin: You know the saying "Maslow before Bloom"? The teacher version of that is "PD AFTER room." It is really tough to focus on any PD, no matter how valuable, when we know there is a mountain of furniture stacked in a corner of our room. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Schools and teachers often get saddled with problems they didn’t create and then get blamed for their inability to work miracles.

Let's not forget that one of the very first things Doug Ford did in 2018 was CANCEL over 700 contracts in green energy, costing Ont millions illions, rip out EV charging stations & cancel incentives to buy EVs. Lecce wants to bring many of those policies back,! for re-election?

Had my first chance to test out the schools new phone policy. Girl refused to get off her phone. Did the warnings, did the parent contacts. Called the office, they did come and get her. She refused to give up the phone to them. They sent her back to class with the phone

When the Right to Read report came out, teachers called for smaller class sizes, greater support for struggling students, & teacher training to address it. @sflecce paid no attention, & now here we are. Jill Dunlop over to you. You can fix this. #onted thestar.com/politics/provi…

Every child deserves to be safe at school. Every single one. No exceptions. #OntEd needs you to fix the funding formula to have 1:1 proactive EA support for vulnerable kids with complex needs, Jill Dunlop. No parent should ever have to worry about their child’s safety.

Right now a school principal in an #OntEd school near you is weeping and hasn’t slept because they can’t figure out which vulnerable kids with complex needs to pull essential EA support from in order to keep another child with even higher needs safe. Please help, Jill Dunlop.

Kimiko Shibata 🦋 Jill Dunlop Every day in #OntEd a child sits in the back of an overcrowded classroom on an ipad because the EA assigned to them had to leave to support a student with higher support needs who eloped from their overcrowded/overstimulating classroom! Please help Jill Dunlop #OntEdInCrisis

Teaching the same lesson to 30 students with different needs would be similar to a doctor trying to help 30 patients with different needs at the same time with the same treatment. We need more adults, and we need more planning time to do what is needed in classrooms.

The elephant in the room is that OTs (occasional teachers) are hard to retain due to high levels of classroom violence. Honest discussions at the board and ministry level are required. Solutions must be found. #onted #cdned #edchat
