@SteveSilent Thank you—excellent resource and extremely relevant for me both as an entry level SPED teacher and as a parent. Those who predicted that COVID would be a mass trauma event were right. #DisabilityJustice #PediatricMentalHealth #BehaviorProblems #edutooter #education #Schools #Teachers #TheKidsAreNotOkay #MassTrauma

Providing no protections for millions of kids in school is a shocking abdication of responsibility.

Indeed. 💔​

And providing no protections for millions of kids in school is a shocking abdication of responsibility.

"There’s a persistent misguided belief that the worst is behind us, and we’re all “building immunity,” so each subsequent Covid infection will be milder than the last, until one fine day, it will no longer affect us at all. I hear this CONSTANTLY.
This is false."

"There needs to be a change in the mindset of policymakers and the public.

The concept of clean air must be as heavily emphasized as the concept of clean water."

💔​ Many families cannot afford to purchase n95 masks for their kids.

Readily available and free PPE in our schools could be a game- changer and less fraught than a mask mandate.

The Education Ministry should, at the very least, make n95 masks available to all students & staff.

So when he cries, "We can’t pay for that” it is an expression of his priorities, never of capability.

👋​ Ontario School Boards! any plans for temporary #precautions following the winter break - maybe masking for instance, or are we with sticking with the 'let 'er rip' strategy?? 🤦‍♂️​

Reminder: Toronto District School Board reported 205,000 student absences due to illness in a three week period leading up to the Christmas break.

The #TDSB serves 235,000 students in 583 schools throughout #Toronto
