It’s time to start sending our emails to @Sflecce and @fordnation about getting back to normal semesters for our secondary kids. These 2.5 hour classes are brutal for kids and teachers. The province is going back to normal but our kids are still forced to suffer through..Enough!

Why are some Ontario university students back in class while others are still stuck online? thestar.com/politics/provinc… via @torontostar #onpse #ontpse #cdnpse

Students in @PeelSchools are being loud and clear that the hybrid model and modified semesters are actually harming students. Whose voices are being listened to when deciding that this fractured learning model is still in place in our schools? #NoHybridNo150
Students at the Peel District School Board are speaking out against the hybrid learning model and 150-minute classes, which they say are causing burnout and mental health struggles.

Students, teachers and parents are telling us we need to revert to traditional semesters for Term 2. Last week, @aarts_michelle and I moved an advocacy motion in support of @OPSBA's call for local determination on schedules. Unanimous support @ committee, on to board Wednesday!

Why is this not available on Ontario???? @fordnation @celliottability
@TDSBDirector @epdevilla Why are students in Toronto’s public schools not allowed to have extracurriculars and sports when private schools down the street from them are? At the very least, kids in schools who are 12+ should be able to safely do this. TO peeps….be heard now!
@rchernoslin @shelleylaskin @RonFelsen @PrincipalNSS Please help our kids by once again, letting the powers that be know that our kids need to be kids. You have all been amazing in fighting for what is right and we thank you 🙏🏻
84 percent of Toronto’s 12+ have their first dose and 78 percent are fully vaccinated and still they can’t go to an outdoor football practice, soccer game, field trip??? @epdevilla @TDSBDirector We got vaccinated to return to some normal so give them some normal!!
Can someone please ask this government why it is forcing teens to sit in 2.5 hour classes twice a day x 5 days a week and at the same time, allow all sports. We either need cohorts or we don’t!!?? These long classes are literally killing kids with LDs and ADHD!!
@ColinDMello @krushowy @Sflecce @fordnation @CoalitionKids @maritstiles @CBCNews @calphonso @SeanDavidson_ @rchernoslin @anthonyfurey @ONeducation @OntariosDoctors @children1stca “Just in case” is not a good enough reason for seriously harming these kids!

Parents of these teens are feeling desperation! How do we fight this? How do we make @Sflecce understand the damage already done? How can they do another year? Sports are great and needed but can we address teens that can’t learn like this?

Let’s hope they listen this time! sickkids.ca/en/news/archive/…

Economies are opening up, but what about schools?
The @CanPaedSociety is calling on Ministers of Education to announce plans for 2021-22 school year ASAP, and to scale up supports for #mentalhealth, learning, and developmental needs.

NEW from @krushowy: What will school look like in September? Ontario parents push for a ‘normal’ return
Lecce says he’ll announce in July policies on things like masking, cohorting and hand hygiene. Other provinces have already detailed their plans. torstar.co/844950FeNif

There’s a great sign campaign underway. We need to ramp up pressure on Ford & Conservative MPPs in their ridings. Follow these folks👇
If you are in TDSB, yesterday was a step in the right direction. However, this fight for our kids is not over until the Ministry of Ed removes the mandated cohorting rule. @Sflecce @fordnation They need sports, clubs and to just be #kidsinthehalls
