The Ford government can’t explain why some students are losing access to language programs while others are not. I asked the Minister of Education to clarify this inconsistency.

Laura Briscoe from ChatterHigh paraphrasing Evan Solomon's observation that digital automation & transformation brings new ideas closer to realization now than at any time in history.
This might be seen as the democratization of prototyping.

On Nat'l Indigenous Languages Day we honour Indigenous languages, living connections to history, identity, and culture. We stand with Indigenous communities in revitalization efforts and commit to supporting these languages for future generations. #ETFO #onlab #onted
If the Education Minister is truly trying to ensure every dollar goes into our classrooms, why is his supervisor earning $350,000/year to cut language and literacy classes and fire frontline educators?

On Int'l Transgender Day of Visibility, we uplift trans and non‑binary voices and recommit to creating safer, more inclusive spaces. Visibility matters — and so does action. Everyone deserves dignity, respect, and the freedom to live as their true selves. #ETFO #onlab #onted
"The idea of deeply understanding #AI before practicing with it is like saying students should study music theory for a year before touching an instrument. It sounds rigorous, but as educators, we know this is actually a recipe for disengagement"

It's not just Doug Ford who's afraid of FOI requests.
The Waterloo Region District School Board continues to live up to its notorious reputation by hiding financial facts to which the public/taxpayers are entitled.
The press should chat with employees.

The OHRC’s Dreams Delayed report is clear: Black students are being failed by the system. Parents were here to ask the Minister to take accountability and action. Instead, he deflected. Families deserve better: they deserve a commitment to justice and supports for their children. #onted #onpoli
Fund Schools not Cops. Ontario Human Rights Commission finds SRO programs (policing in schools) causes harm to students and communities #onted #onpoli
Fund Schools not Cops. Supported, well funded schools keep us safe, policing doesn’t. #onted #onpoli
chatOAME now has a *GeoBoard* visualization... Along with Desmos, GeoGebra, Polypad, and Graspable Math, we're really starting to fill in the visualization gaps that LLMs leave especially in a subject like math where noticing relationships is so important. What's still missing, #onted #mtbos?
Our schools need funding for real supports to keep students and education workers safer. The latest budget allocates $41 mil for SRO programs that have been proven to cause real harm.
Fund Schools, Not Cops. Write the Education Minister and your MPP today! #OntEd #OnPoli #PolicingFreeSchools
Didn't have a chance to share this in the #dreamforward keynote. If you find yourself anthropomorphizing #AI, this will show you under the hood and stop that reflex:

This is also true in Ontario. More and more, we are caring for, and in some cases are the only positive influence for, Ontario’s children. And yet the Ford government continues to cut supports. #onpoli #onted #etfo
New: The TCDSB's provincially-appointed supervisor has cut an international language learning program for elementary students for next Sept. The change will impact nearly 20k students and lead to the loss of about 100 teacher jobs, per the union. #onted www.torontotoday.ca/local/educat...
Between skyrocketing rents and rising cost of groceries, young people and families are already stretched thin. Now, with cuts to OSAP, the government is adding educational debt to the list. We deserve better than a government that makes life harder.

Budgets are a reflection of government priorities.
Education funding has dropped by 3.6% this year. CCPA's new report shows that this government continues to put #OntEd on the back burner, leaving students without the supports needed to succeed.

Spoiler: Ontario’s public education system is still underfunded.
#OntEd #OnPoli #ONBudget2026
Real cuts to education.
That’s what this budget delivers, with K-12 funding down 3.6% in real terms.
And 1.9% in post-secondary.
Our schools cannot keep doing more with less.
Full analysis from @policyalternatives.ca : bit.ly/4rXq8vy
#OSSTF #OntEd #OnPoli #ONBudget2026
$171.3 million cut from #OntEd when our classrooms are already overcrowded and vulnerable students with complex needs don’t have the support they need to be safe at school.
$69.2 million in cuts to Post Secondary Education when colleges and universities are already in crisis.
In #OntEd we assign a grade of "R" when a student needs extensive remediation and support. I am assigning Doug Ford R's across the board for his Ontario 2026 Budget.
