I want to take a moment to tweet about TVDSB's decision to offer NBE3U/C "Grade 11. English: Understanding Contemporary First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Voices" as its compulsory grade 11 English class without retweeting the LFP article.

I’ve taught oine courses for 10+ years. Want my hot take on why mandatory elearning for all students is a bad idea? No?

They don’t have to walk into a classroom every day and have attendance taken and look their teacher in the eye. So unless they’re disciplined, they put it off.
