Implement an Amber Alert System for Missing Children and Youth with Disabilities: - Sign the Petition! chng.it/RkJNNj5gkD via @CdnChange
All of 5 minutes dealing with a child with ASD. This child has injured 3 EAs and myself since Thursday.... school started less than a week ago. The child is smart enough to lean to bite and turn their body to kick you... this is not fair to anyone, but especially....

To those who deal with it on the daily. We NEED more staff in schools who are trained to deal with this. We need more staff because there are too many needs. This is unsafe for everyone involved. #cutshurtkids #behaviours #injured

No reason to track students attendance when those who created it spend half the year on vacation.... fill it out! #SchoolEducation #ontarioed #cutshurtkids

This is what needs to be remembered. The rights of one should not supersede the rights of many. #rightstoeducation #education #smallerclass

Love when "the team" comes to the school to tell me all the things I'm doing wrong with the kids they don't know...and then the runner takes off on them... but yes, I'm the problem 😆

If a child can't hear the word "no", we are creating a society of temper tantrums. "No" is a part of life. When a teacher/ EA/CYC says no to a kid they should absolutely not be attacked. The child should learn to hear no. Enough is enough.

“No” is not the problem — it’s part of real life.
I understand that some children (including those with ASD) may find “no” triggering. But avoiding the word entirely doesn’t prepare them for the world they live in. Life is full of limits, boundaries, and moments where the answer

If school-based CYWs disappear, guess who absorbs the fallout?
Teachers. Principals. Office staff.
The same people already juggling academics, IEPs, meetings, parent calls, supervision, paperwork, and a hundred daily decisions.

Cutting school-based CYWs is the stupidest “cost-saving” move I’ve ever heard.
You can’t say you care about student mental health and then remove the very people who:
• de-escalate crises before they become suspensions
• support kids with trauma

I am sick and tired of people ignoring the STOP sign and lights on the bus. If this is what needs to happen then public shaming it is. @TTCnotices @CityNewsTO @globalnews @CTVToronto
This is on Curzon Street. Enough is enough. We need a sign on the road to keep kids safe!

Let’s be clear:
📌 Violence is not “part of the job.”
📌 Staff should not accept being hit, bitten, or threatened.
📌 Lack of supports + lack of consequences = unsafe schools.
These are some of my injuries over the last few years.

Violence is not part of my job.
I became a Child and Youth Worker to support, care, and guide young people — not to be assaulted, threatened, or put in unsafe situations.
When there are no supports, when there are no real consequences, frontline staff are left vulnerable.

End of the day today it was 31.1C.... the kids spent time taking turns in front of the fan and being sprayed by water... if it is too hot to work in this heat, then it's too hot for kids to be in buildings with no air....

8:22 AM... no kids yet and it's already disgusting....
Our cooling centre is broken and has been for a long time. They keep pushing it off to fix it. #TooHotToHandle #school #schoolteacher #heatwave

I'd like to know how it makes any sense that staying in a building WITHOUT AC or fans is better for health than being outside with some sort of breeze...
I want the people at the CEC to step up and spend the day in one of the schools with NO cooling center and not go outside.
With temperatures rising, we would like to remind families about the measures in place at our schools when a heat warning is issued by Environment Canada.
