I taught in a high school where less than half of students went on to post-secondary. Final exams were in no way preparation for these students, so we dropped them for most courses. In senior-level optional science and math classes, we continued with comprehensive finals, because those students were more likely to go to university. Different methods for different students just makes sense.https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/education-highschool-exams-1.6735800#education #teaching #evaluation

Reality needs to workshop some of its storylines better. It's like they're not even trying for believability anymore.

A Waterloo Catholic school board trustee was made to apologize for saying white men are dangerous. She is Métis, and the people who complained about her tweet are the usual collection of right-wing grievance farmers. Heaven forfend a white person's feelings are harmed.... 🙄https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/waterloo-catholic-school-board-wendy-ashby-tweet-1.6825464#onpoli #cdnpoli #education #WhiteSupremacy #systemic

Well, had my first experience getting called out for wearing a mask. Apparently I'm a poor excuse for a man because I won't breathe the air God gave us... 🤣 Not sure where my air was coming from, then.Interestingly, Sweden did not, in fact, ban masks, despite the random dude at the Shoppers checkout telling me that they had. I wonder what else he could be wrong about... 🤔#cdnpoli #skpoli #masks #COVID19 #Saskatoon

@Revertron @Sheril Pursuit predation does not require speed, but stamina. Are you going to try and argue that women have less stamina than men, because that's a big ask.

Scott Moe had the absolute gall to talk about improper conduct from the NDP when members of the Sask Party have been credibly accused of ripping off Sask tax payers for thousands of dollars?

Not something #Saskatchewan should be proud of leading the nation in, similar to our impaired driving rates. Intimate partner violence has no place in a civilized society.Remember, when people tell you they want to get back to the "good old days", this is part of what they mean...https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/sask-domestic-violence-rates-remain-worst-among-provinces-1.7038469#skpoli #cdnpoli #ipv #violence #abuse

Remember when American and European right-wingers were warning that enclaves of Muslims were creating sharia zones in Germany? Turns out that wasn't entirely accurate (or even remotely accurate).https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/27/far-right-extremists-reichsburger-rural-land-grab-germany#politics

MTG (R - Moscow) is going to try to get Johnson booted from the Speaker job.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/01/marjorie-taylor-greene-motion-to-vacate-house-speaker-mike-johnson/The only thing I don't understand is why Dems are willing to support an insurrectionist as Speaker. #uspoli

Another day on the picket line. Still fighting to improve education for all Saskatchewan students! The government's intransigence with regards to bargaining continues to affect kids' schooling and extracurricular opportunities. #Saskatchewan #education #WeAreSTF #IAMSTF #skpoli

@futurebird In the last couple of years, research has been done showing measles can lower the body's immune defense against other illnesses: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/measles-immune-system-memory-infectionSome researchers are suggesting COVID infections may have a similar effect, which could mean that down the road, there's a whole new group of immunocompromised people who are philosophically opposed to following medical/scientific advice.

I originally started learning Spanish because of a trip I was taking, but it was interesting enough that I've stuck with it for more than 4 years!

The Catholic church is really pulling a Python-esque "every sperm is sacred" about surrogacy?https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/vatican-blasts-gender-affirming-surgery-surrogacy-and-gender-theory-as-violations-of-human-dignity-1.6837392#religion #sexuality #transrights #surrogacy

@futurebird @ehproque @moira This seems like such a weird American thing. Those of us in social democracies see the way power, used for the good of the people, can work well if properly directed. The alternative seems to be corporatism...

@futurebird I'm curious why Google/YouTube doesn't crack down on this harder. Surely the hosting costs aren't worth the clicks on ads for garbage like this?
