What do you think about Taylor Swift not having any Canadian tour dates?

Personally I think it is nothing short of an affront to our Canadian honour, and we should organize a militia to do something about it. I suggest our militia track down her ex boyfriends and start an anti-Swift club.

This article is useless without historical trends. Based on my personal experience, people have gotten help buying their first house since my parents(and in-laws) did it 40 years ago. Now how much help, and at what age seem to have changed but just the idea that people get help with their first home doesn't seem like a new concept.

There is nothing wrong with you enjoying cursive. It should be an optional class like any art.

I personally enjoy wood working using only hand tools, however if someone needed to learn basic carpentry, I'd be showing them how to use power tools.

Seriously? Even doctors don't write scripts anymore, its all electronic, and far fewer errors are made because of that.

Cursive is an art, and there is nothing wrong with but it has no practical purpose in today's world.

Learning to read and write(printing and typing) are valuable skills but specifically learning cursive is not.

I can get behind 'calm down and let kids have fun'

I do not understand what has to go wrong in someone's brain to think harassing children about their genitals is a good idea.

Even if you do not believe in the science of gender, how is this person's approach make sense?

As an adult I do not understand using children in this way.

As per the article, the answer is yes controlled burns are happening however as mentioned in another reply, it is not enough and our approach needs to change.

Can you be more specific about what you would like to see?

Should we ignore the state of things to post only happy pictures of Ontario?

I do agree that negativity can be toxic but we can't ignore that for many people living in Ontario things are all doom and gloom. It is hard to be positive when your future looks hopeless.

I also went to school with no cell phones, and was bullied mercilessly. Staff didn't care then, and I doubt they care now. I'm glad you went to a school where the adults cared.

[–] Grennum 3 points 1 year ago (7 children)

This is just silly. Just ban the phones.

[–] Grennum 2 points 1 year ago

I like the idea of a complete ban on cell phones during teaching periods, and maybe even on school grounds at all. I have no idea how to enforce such a ban and as mentioned in the article if schools are struggling to even contain violence, how are they going to manage cell phone use?

The article highlights an issue, there is something wrong with our schools. It is more then just the normal generational discomfort(though that is part of it). Again I don't know the solution but I think we need to acknowledge that we are failing today's students(they are not failing us because we are the adults). Then we can discuss how to improve things.
