Random: Shout out to @poplarroad_tdsb teachers. They set up a homework club that's been going all year to provide direct support to kids who need a hand, especially après la pandémie. They make things fun. They're awesome. @tdsb @TDSBDirector

I was discussing online safety with my 12 year old last night when he delivered a line I can't stop thinking about: "I know about catfishing mom, and it's mostly OLD PEOPLE that get scammed. Like you."
