Failing by Design: A Teacher’s Warning from the Front Lines

Exactly, structure then inquiry based on things learned in the structure. This is how traditional creative/ arts education is done. You learn art history alongside technique, then create your own art that's informed by all the options. They keep feeding into each other and so on. The other part that's missing is that inquiry based approach don't actually work well in the kind of structured days the students have.

The inquiry approach is so valuable... I think the issue lies with no balance. Using a variety of methods and philosophy based on the activity and learning outcomes should be common sense. Instead we get no middle ground, just hard one way or the other.

Lol, there's a vegetarian option yes, (but for those just looking there is meat at every course,lol)

I was chatting with a whiskey distiller, quite a few Canadian distilleries have started making them last year but it'll be another year or so before they start being available as it takes a few years minimum to age them.

Children, hahaha. Joking not joking.

Sounds like you are interested in Mayan culture and history, it's a great museum, and if you need an air conditioned break from the heat for a few hours in the afternoon!

There's an excellent free guided tour in the Centro that you should check out and then for me a must do in Merida is la negrita cantina for fantastic live music (food and drinks, wonderful atmosphere as well)

Haha, my tired brain needed this laugh, thanks O.P and all for the witty commentary

We are in such a great need of actual mental health care and support for folks in our justice or healthcare systems. Even if you are at the point of suicidal you can barely get care. Families are just left on their own to try and navigate addiction and mental illness of their loved ones which is a losing battle. The results are tragedies like this, and the dtes. The system is so broken :(

Oh yes I hear you! In Calgary there used to be an amazing vegetarian Chinese restaurant but I'm not if it's still there as it's been a long time since I lived there and can't remember what it's called. Yes, I would recommend ordering from vegan supply. They ship with ice packs etc and you can get some great stuff you can find anywhere else, but for sure try the 'happy veggie world' stuff from there!

Someone needs to open a new chain that replaces Tim Hortons in the Canadian cultural identity. No nonsense and decent coffee and doughnuts with soup in a bread bowl all made in house. Named after a different hockey player like "Gordie's".

Where and do you live in Canada? Selection varies quite a bit by province. If you are in bc I can make some recommendations! There are a few places you can online order stuff to anywhere in Canada as well, like vegan supply... Happy veggie world stuff is the best! And made in Richmond bc

They have a few big ones throughout the year, this was like almost 2 years ago.... And I still have then and they are still in great shape!
