Should socioeconomic factors be an excuse for weak educational outcomes?
In this episode, I talk with Robert Peal about progressive education, inequality, and why strong instruction matters for all students — especially the most disadvantaged.

Ontario Special Education: What a Mess! An independent audit of Ontario's 72 school boards provides glaring evidence that the system's underfunded and full of holes. Face it - the current model is also unsustainable #ONTed #ONpoli #cdned auditor.on.ca/en/content/spe…

ELEC(TOK): It’s not sexy, but necessary! It’s time to audit our school board audit committees! They’ve been tasked with ensuring compliance since 2009, yet here we are in 2026, and like @UCDSB, many still haven’t done a self-audit!
So, are these committees just a cozy shield for trustees afraid of real input from Parent Involvement Committees (PICs), school councils, and parents?
🗣 When your trustee asks for support, demand answers about self-audits and push for genuine involvement! @ONeducation @ONEduTracker @BoardReportCard @OPSBA @EDU_Reform @WokeWatchCanada @CPALInfo @DDSBParents @EM_POWR @OCDSB @tdsb @TCDSB @TVDSB @SteveClarkPC @chris_garrah @Brockpolitics @CornwallLive @HorsmanGeoff

New EEF study finds lower-attaining students are NOT harmed by ability grouping, but higher-attaining students are held back in mixed classes.
Advanced students don't get enough attention in my view. What is the goal of public education? Getting all students to a minimum competency level has to be one goal. But is there not an obligation to provide an environment for students who have surpassed minimum competency to keep moving ahead?

A pleasure appearing today before the Standing Committee on Social Policy to speak in support of Bill 101 - an important step toward strengthening student achievement and wellbeing in Ontario schools.

Delighted to see that you’re part of the support team, @DrPeiTO!
There’s hope for the education system when good people like you (a former trustee, no less) tell the truth.
Well done, sir!

The Simcoe County District School Board has again voted down a request for an independent review into school violence despite allegations there are “thousands” of incidents, not the 93 reported.
This is now the fourth time trustees have tried to get a clearer picture and been blocked.
Let that sink in.
Since 2023, there have been repeated calls for transparency.
Unions have warned the numbers are misleading.
Internal data showed hundreds of incidents in a single month.
Too often, school boards protect the institution
instead of confronting the dangerous reality impacting our children.
You cannot fix what you refuse to fully acknowledge.
Student safety should never be optional.
Education reform is a must.
Join the thousands of other Ontario families who have signed our online petition to amend the Education Act, giving parents more rights when harm impacts their child.

🚩Red flags: "education is too messy to measure" or "test scores don't capture what matters." These are unfalsifiable claims and blank cheques to say whatever they want is true. Don't accept these arguments.

Absent on Absenteeism: Canadian education academics and policy-makers were AWOL on tracking attendance until #AntonBirioukov blew the whistle (CJE 2021). Without attendance officers, it got lost, leaving us totally unprepared for the Pandemic fallout

Teachers weigh in on Ontario’s sweeping proposed changes to school boards.
Education analyst and educator Debbie Kasman will appear before the standing committee on social policy at the invitation of Calandra in support of Bill 101.
Kasman said negative reaction “is to be expected” following the announced changes.
“This new bill eliminates the power of school board trustee even more fully – the trustee and other professional councils . . . are used to working in tandem,” she said. “They don’t want to see the power of the trustees eroded either.
“Their reaction is very typical and not solving the problems that need to be solved.”
