Why advocate for a "fully funded public education system" when the system is actually ABLEIST?
Yes more funding is needed
But throwing more money at it without also changing the frameworks in place won't make it better
Change the system

As many students head back to class today, we’re also marking #InternationalLiteracyDay.
At the bargaining table, we're fighting for better working and learning conditions, so our members can continue giving students everything they need to thrive 🙌🏽
"Schools and educators [in #Ontario] are being asked to do more with less, and students are paying the price." @ricardotranjan.bsky.social #onted @policyalternatives.ca www.niagarafallsreview.ca/thestar/news...
Happy #backtoschool to teachers (& parents & politicians) claiming to care about students in any way but are unmasked & not fighting for #cleanair in ongoing pandemic conditions. Shortages? COVID. Mental health? COVID. Student absences?... #CovidIsNotOver #CovidIsAirborne #onted #onhealth #onpoli
As we welcome students back into #OntEd after the summer, let’s extend grace
-to the rushed parent who forgot to pack a lunch
-to the anxious child who didn’t sleep well and is struggling
-to the colleague whose child just started daycare or school for the first time
Grace.

Remember to set your alarm, #OntEd!
When an autistic student has a meltdown at school, it can be tempting to focus on the behaviour that everyone can see. But a meltdown is better understood as a stress response, not simply intentional misbehaviour
What happens outside impacts what happens inside classrooms and on the school bus.
On International Day for Clean Air for blue skies, let's talk about indoor air. It can be far more polluted than outdoor air and speed up the transmission of airborne viruses.
#CatholicTeachers, joined by #OntEd leadership from AEFO, @etfoeducators.bsky.social, CUPE-OSCBU, and @osstf.bsky.social, take action at the Toronto #LabourDay Parade.
We're #TogetherForPubliclyFundedEducation and we're championing the power of solidarity across Ontario ✊
Teachers and education workers are taking action at the Toronto #LabourDay Parade – and at events across Ontario.
In Toronto? Come by our booth at Trinity Bellwoods Park and learn more about what #OntEd students need to succeed.
Let’s work #TogetherForPubliclyFundedEducation!
Great #OntEd piece in the Star today.
We can have a school year without labour disruptions.
The way forward is through meaningful and respectful negotiation.
So far I have not seen this happening with this government, but there is always hope.
Large class sizes reduce what we can offer as educators. #OntEd
