I say we stop using the term “raging hormones” when referring to adolescents. It’s not helpful. Their big emotions are the side effects of unbelievably fast brain growth. Yes it’s messy, but it’s also pretty damn heroic.

Amid confident predictions that kids will use AI (specifically, ChatGPT) to cheat on writing assignments, I thought I'd repost my review of research on what really makes cheating more likely - and why it matters how "cheating" is defined in the 1st place: is.gd/dGz2a3.

Vonnegut's reflection is a breath of fresh air in an achievement-crazy culture - and particularly welcome in contrast to the grit mindset that says kids must stick with one thing until they master it (even if joylessly) rather than sampling a broad range of experiences.

Social media, such as this platform, give us an unprecedented window on the world. But they also allows for the amplification of hatred and lies. Finding the grace, wisdom, beauty, kindness and laughter in the world amidst the rest is a journey through traps and snares.

A statue of the man who unveiled ours was removed from his hometown. Now it’s time for Port Hope to do the same. #offwithishead cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ki…

I can't believe that we figured out how to make so many effective #COVID19 vaccines in just 15 months but didn't make sure that everyone in the world would have equitable access to a vaccine.
I’m very sorry to say that this is just the tip of the iceberg. There will be more. I’m increasingly horrified, but not surprised.

If you are more upset with the fallen statue of Egerton Ryerson or plans to #CancelCanadaDay than finding unmarked mass graves of murdered Indigenous Children...you are part of the problem, not the solution.

AN IDIOT’S GUIDE TO INDIGENOUS PEOPLE: Indigenous people like to drink water. Preferably clean water. Frequently from a tap.
