This is not sustainable.

And that’s part of the privatization agenda.

Break the public system and then point to privatization of education as the solution.

It’s a genius plan.

And our kids will pay the price.

The result is increased student frustration, dysregulation, and overwhelm. Burned out staff that are leaving education in droves. Students with special education needs and language learning needs going without support and falling behind. Kids falling through the cracks.

Since 2018 when Doug Ford became the Premier of Ontario, #OntEd has struggled to make ends meet. Specialized supports and programs have been stripped away from students. Student safety is the only reason EA support is assigned, and it’s typically shared between several students.

Public schools need to be appropriately staffed so that ALL students can have access to an education. We’ve reduced our expectations to “try your best to keep kids alive and unharmed” instead of “make sure all kids have the resources they need to be safe and learn at school”.

Educational programming can include sensory activities and calming spaces, but kids need to be working on actual learning goals, or else it’s not really school. It’s glorified babysitting. Providing supervision within a school building is not the same as providing an education.

His tunnel would:
▶️Cost $50–$100 billion
▶️That's $9000-$18000 per Ontario Household
▶️Add just 1 lane each way
▶️Snarl traffic for 10+ years with construction
