I read this article and I am wonder what kind of background research Jamie Sarkonak did before pressing submit.
Given her last article on Education I suspect the answer is “not much”
Anyway, some observations and comments in the thread.
#OntEd

“Sorry smart kids”. So gross. Children deserve the time and grace to fully develop their intelligence.

Imagine not understand how “merit” is code for “privilege”. Some people could be exceptional artists/athletes/stem-students but lack exposure because they lack privilege.

Streaming supports systemic racism and discrimination. Here is some data.
I don’t know what else to say about this. If we know better we do better.

Israel assassinated a Canadian/US aid worker along with their international and Palestinian colleagues. They were targeted in an attack on their convoy which was clearly marked with the World Central Kitchen logo. There must be consequences for this act of state terrorism.

I am so proud of my sister Saraya Elwin for receiving a national award of excellence from the Business & Professional Women of Dominica “for her dedicated commitment and professionalism in her field” of Education. What an example for our young women! Congrats S. Elwin! 🏆

Getting the news last week was extremely shocking & heartbreaking. Take a read to learn more about one of the most caring educators we had. His wisdom, care, actions and influence will continue to impact students & staff across @TDSB & #OntEd I am really going to miss him.

We can’t stop equity work, slow it down or shut it down just because a group experiences discomfort when reflecting on their role or power in marginalizing another group. Learning & human rights shouldn’t cater to the resistors. #OntEd

We are committed to supporting the community. A Command Post is in place at the Driftwood Community Centre so residents feel safe. We ask that people in the Jane Street and Driftwood Avenue area call 911 if they see anything suspicious.

Powerful piece by Nassim Elbardouh “As an anti-racist educator, I’m called to name this erasure and curricular violence for what it is: anti-Palestinian racism.” #OntEd this is a must read & critical reflection on your role in schools. Thanks Erika Shaker for sharing!

The Israeli military is bombing Rafah, the most densely populated area in the world, while Americans watch the Super Bowl. This is intentional. This is genocide.

We're demanding the world watching the #superbowl turn their eyes to #Rafah . #alleyesongaza #CeasefireNOW

1.5 million Palestinians are trapped with no where to go and they are being bombed.

This is so cruel

Have we lost our humanity?
