You won because you’re awesome @KirkFoat and I see how fantastically you’ve weathered a storm and thrived https://twitter.com/CARFAXca/status/1308930554218385408
My kids apologizing to me for how fucked up virtual learning is in Ontario. You’ve removed Adobe licensing to restrict teachers more @fordnation

The links aren’t YouTube kids friendly so they can’t watch the instructions for the assignment and the chief feature is surveillance
There isn’t a consistent meeting credential it changes all the time multiple times a day I’m sure to ensure kids don’t “set it and forget it”

this working mom hasn’t started my day yet between logins, tech support and lesson help - HOW IS THIS HELPING THE ECONOMY?! @biancawylie
Teachers are uploading THE SAME scholastic worksheets I have at home as a plan B. But to access them you need to go into the board page. Navigate to assignments. Download the scanned worksheet and print it.

Oh right. You mean you don’t have a home printer?!

Just rewrite them
Wait. I’ll plan ahead and print them at Staples. Nope. They’re posted same day. Can’t even do that. Because surveillance. Seems attendance at 9:05 and 1:05 is the main feature of this “plan”
The ONLY thing they’ve gotten so far is seeing other kids faces and speak to an adult that isn’t me. There’s that. I’ll give you that. But I’m bankrupting myself in rural northern Ontario because I don’t have broadband so it’s on a cellular router
I’m taking my work calls by telephone so my kids can watch their exasperated teachers say, “go on mute kids” over and over and over again because @Microsoft Teams doesn’t have a global mute feature. WTF. Requirement 1 for kids I’d think. @CraigMilroy
This is not working. At all. You’re not even trying. At all. And I’m losing it here trying to make up for all your deficiencies @Sflecce and I’m mad as hell this morning. At you. Not at @LDCSB not at teachers. You. Your government. This is designed to be bullshit & I’m calling it
I mean I’m grateful I have a teacher at all, a colleague is still waiting every day with her kids and stares at a blank screen. Outrageous. @BBFarhadi @maritstiles @Anniekidder @PeggySattlerNDP
Take a page from FNs. Without any reasonable federal resources or internet they’ve come up with SAFER and more MEANINGFUL plans than Ontario. Mailing worksheets. Phone trees. Sugar cubes. Hiring more teachers. Stop whining about money. It’s not about money. You don’t care.
I’m so mad this “workday” is now a write off. So bu bye productivity. Can’t write or think about anything in any detail. I totally get why women are dropping out of the workforce in droves. I WILL NOT. I will not quit. You will not win. @KateMarieGraham
I will forge on.
I will fight for others who can’t.
I will quit your ridiculous school before my job.
