@PaulCalandra EQAO is a costly & ineffective use of time Standardized tests are an inaccurate reflection of ability Would be better to re-direct the $30 million it costs back into the classroom instead #OntEd #ONpoli

Ontario's public education system needs to move away from the compliance-based model its been following for decades It's outdated, ableist & doesn't work We need schools to become trauma-informed & neuro-affirming Training, policies & guidelines have to change #OntEd #ONpoli

It would take more than increased funding. Ontario's public education system is ableist. Reform is needed #OntEd #ONpoli

Attendance policies tied to grades are ineffective, ableist, punitive, archaic & irrelevant to success They rarely bolster meaningful student engagement. Instead, they compromise student health & act as an unnecessary stressor #OntEd #ONpoli

Why? Ableism But that has been an issue for decades The current OAP is actually an improvement over the previous Liberal legacy program in terms of what is covered with direct funding & what is available for free

Ableism is the reason why disabled & neurodivergent students are not supported in Ontario schools. This unfortunately has been an issue for decades It needs to be called out more & addressed #OntEd #ONpoli #autism #disability #neurodiversity @InclusiveEdCan @Inclusion_Ont
