I am no Liberal die-hard. I don't agree w everything they do. But I dread to think what Canada would be now if the Cons had been in charge for the last 5 years. (Just look at where they are in charge!) Canada is a great country. Our current Federal government has made it better.

Grateful to all those folks who go the extra mile to advocate for our kids — right now that list includes Cindy, Tamara and Galen Naidoo Harris who all met this morning to discuss how govt continues to shortchange the students of EC Drury.

This year alone, the Ontario government shortchanged public schools by nearly $300 million. #onted #onpoli

Banning cell phones in Toronto’s schools was so 2007. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

A grade 1 teacher told me she has no money for books. She reached her allotment of paper for copying months ago and cannot exceed it. She was given $5.00 per child per year for pencils, erasers, note books all of which evaporated quickly and HE’s worried about phones!

“'This is about restoring focus during instructional time,' Lecce said.”

Hey, @sflecce, know what's making it difficult to focus in class? The teacher shortage, rising violence, and a mental health crisis. Maybe try doing something about them? #onted
