Education holds the key to reconciliation. “It begins with teaching the truth about our history. Knowing what happened in the past – how it continues to shape the present day – will lead to understanding. Understanding leads to respect. #reconciliation theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

Today is #NationalDayForTruthAndReconciliation. It's our responsibility every day to learn the truths of lives of Indigenous Peoples in the country we now call Canada. We remember & honour survivors & those who never returned from residential schools. #truthbeforereconciliation

“Where common memory is lacking, where people do not share in the same past, there can be no real community. Where community is to be formed, common memory must be created.” ~Georges Erasmus Let us use days like today to listen, share, and help form a common memory. 🙏🏽

The core skills of learning are a critical eye and an open mind. Critical thinking is refusing to accept ideas at face value. Don't believe information until it's verified. Openness is refusing to reject ideas at face value. Don't disbelieve information until it's falsified.

Reading to kids doesn't just benefit them. It's good for parents too. Evidence: Reading regularly to children improves parenting skills, reduces stress, and builds lasting bonds. In a distracted world, sitting together with a book is a rare occasion for undivided attention.

Something that Tanya Talaga said a couple of weeks ago that hasn’t left me: when you think of Murray, think of the weight of hearing thousands of accounts of untold horror, and the toll it would take on your body. Think of taking that on. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

"Other people are doing it" is not a justification for being dishonest or disrespectful. Character is more than who you are at your best. It's who you become when your peers are at their worst. The heart of integrity is upholding your principles even if others abandon theirs.

Raising and being a teenager is filled with emotional ups and downs. So how do we know when to be concerned about their mental health?

“I don’t know” is not an admission of ignorance. It’s an expression of intellectual humility. “I was wrong” is not a confession of failure. It’s a display of intellectual integrity. “I don’t understand” is not a sign of stupidity. It’s a catalyst for intellectual curiosity.
