@infomorning 20 years as a rural school psych means leaving before your family wakes to provide service to communities fr Yarmouth to Digby, never feeling like your enough but knowing not all kids can access private psychs. Thank you @ConBark & @portiaclarkcbc for the discussion!

Some great advice from Dr. Sara King, Associate Professor in the School Psychology graduate program in the Faculty of Education at MSVU.

I'm a punk at heart, and I'll be damned if I broke my back 15 years to get to where I am and suddenly shut my mouth and play nice. The system is a disaster and we need to rip it down.

@ShawnaCoppola @ReadOrPrison @npr_ed I've come to care so much about reading instruction because I've reported for years on race and inequality.
