Calling all teachers & critical thinking voters in Vaughan to call and/or visit their MPP @Sflecce . Ask him to bargain in good faith & to not attempt to create fear in the hearts of parents. Parents - advocate for your kids by standing with/for their teachers. @OECTAProv #OntEd

As a former Principal of a Cont. Education eLearning program & as a dedicated full credit teacher in the summer, I can attest that for so many students full credit online courses is not the right fit. Mandatory is not the way - it will displace & disenfranchise. Research matters!

The government says requiring students to take four mandatory e-learning courses will improve achievement. But where is the research to back that up? Conversely, Ontario researcher Beyhan Farhadi found e-learning is NOT a replacement for classroom instruction🤔 #onted #onpoli

Oh my! What is this government’s obsession with beer? Whoever values beer politics over cancer screenigs, supporting the most vulnerable, education & the environment , should not be leading a province. Shame on @fordnation & MPPs like my @Sflecce who blindly follow. #ontpoli
