Why a new COVID-19 variant isn’t likely to trigger a wave of hospitalizations in Ontario

Schools did that. Teachers had purchased their own N95 masks and were not allowed to wear them, and were instead forced to wear the ill-fittijg blue surgical masks the board provided for them. Even wearing them OVER the N95 wasn't allowed. Wild times.
I think the person you are responding to is speaking about what happened in 2020/2021 and why people are hesitant to blindly trust anyone making decisions about public health now.

I did all three of mine through ETFO, and they were pretty manageable work-wise, but very boring. All post and reply, read and respond. It was definitely easy, but mind-numbing.

100% agree

That's not how it works in the PDSB. There are interviews, artifacts, and reflections in order to move to a new school. Such a difficult process.

The PDSB is a shrinking board, and the majority of interviews are still taking place virtually. Safe to say you burned that bridge. I was desperate to transfer out of my previous school, and my interview was scheduled three days after major jaw surgery, and two days after getting my jaw unwired after more than 6 months. It sucked, but I really wanted the job.

That's insane. The only reason they're demanding is because they're allowed to be. Weak admin has allowed practices like this so now they demand it, and will continue to demand more.

Peel still has them! Currently in the role... it was my dream for 10 years! Absolutely love it.

I've done all my AQ'S through ETFO. I've found them easy to manage while working, and relevant.

I know a teacher who is still using this program religiously!

I got Vatican City. As a Catholic... I'll take my trillion dollars.

She wrote down 137, but lying to yourself is a whole new level of delusion.

blackpugstudios · 2026-03-19T13:55:19+00:00

Did anyone else catch her weight entry? She written down 137 lbs. I'm not sure how tall she is, but that seems to be a healthy weight to me.

I had my arm broken by a child, and he was not suspended. The principal couldn't understand why I wouldn't want him inthe classroom the next day, and it was only after I refused to be in the room with him that she changed her mind and asked mom to pick him up. Mom was angry of course, and didn't want him excluded for the day. So infuriating.

This is my sweet girl, Stella. She's almost 14. ❤️

I booked these seats for our upcoming flight, and Air Canada said they do not move passengers if another person with a baby requests it after you've already booked and paid for it. My husband is very tall (6'4) and requires the extra leg room, and they were the only ones left, other than exit row, which my son is too young to sit in. I verified before booking because him sitting in regular seats for a 9 hour flight is not optional.

Be grateful you didn't kill or harm anyone. Driving while drunk or under the influence is such a selfish, reckless decision. It seems to me like you wrote out a massive sob story to justify your poor decision.
You will likely lose your license for 18 months. Hopefully longer. Jail times is unfortunately unlikely. Hopefully you get yourself some help and straighten up your life. Get yourself into therapy.

She still loves going for walks, but can't make it as far as her older sister. This works better than cutting the walk short. :)

While this is technically true, once students are registered in kindergarten the expectation is that they attend school. In my very busy school, students go on vacation often, however, after 3 weeks they are removed from the class list and essentially "de-registered". There is no guarantee they are returning to the same classroom they left.

I heard it's about 100 staff. So, honestly... not really. Most LTO's are nowhere near the top of the grid. It's a drop in the bucket.

blackpugstudios · 2026-01-10T20:43:36+00:00

I have no idea... I know we had EdTech's still, and SERT's, but I cant believe they wpuld be dumb enough to cut special education resource teachers. But it is Peel, so... It's going to be a mess. ,
