I hear you, and I would like to believe this is the case, but the title includes the typical refrain- how schools are failing our kids. To be fair, I bring a different perspective and have written about how we are failing our schools. We want them to solve all of society’s ills.

Why the narrow focus on schools? Surely this crosses the full spectrum of society and begins at home? Blaming schools always and forever allows us to shrug off personal responsibility and complicity.

Why is our third largest Canadian bank -ScotiaBank - offering a chance to win a trip to Miami Fl in their perks program? It seems a little tone deaf for the moment we are in.

It depends. I am reading an historical fiction right now set in another (English speaking) country and I have looked up a few words new to me. In this story the action is not fast paced so I don’t mind… if Ramirez was getting close to figuring something out though…

New book of economic history dropped, from my colleague @robertyee.bsky.social.

He shows how the Bank of England helped preserve the City of London as a financial center even during the rise of US hegemony, with lessons about how major economic powers can maintain their dominance.

Ontario has enough family doctors but NOT enough choosing comprehensive care

Alternatives like walk in clinics offer better pay & fewer hours.

BC evened that score
