May 6, 2025 is US Teachers Appreciation Day

Most of the public school teachers who taught, or attempted to teach, my special daughter are among the people I admire most for their deep empathy and patience. I have attached a rather long video of a speech about teaching by Kay Redfield Jamison, an award-winning author and teacher with an impressive list of career accomplishments.

I also have another teacher friend in mind, a university professor, who is renowned for her dedication to students. She has high empathy and high expectations. One student recently wrote, “honestly, the sweetest professor I've ever had! She is an extremely tough grader. She is that way because she wants you to understand and be able to apply the information.” Several years ago, a student of hers got news that her brother was in a hospital ICU after being hit by a car, 800 miles away in another state. She told the student to pack a bag, drove the student in her own car to visit the brother over a long weekend where she paid for a motel room, and drove back in time for classes the following week. That is who she is—the best person I have ever known. #Teaching #Teachers #Psychology #Education #MentalHealth

"The Trump administration is set to garnish the wages of the 5.3 million federal student loan borrowers in default in just a few months."

Meanwhile, it began this week alerting around 195,000 defaulted borrowers that their federal benefits will be subject to garnishment in 30 days."

There are potentially, millions more resisters, as of today.

3/3
Teacher Leadership

The first round last year was deep.. we lost our whole long-time music program amongst many other cuts especially in services and in International itself.

This year's cuts are wide, academically and administratively.

A sad time... especially with the state of the world.

My own program has not been immune but in comparison with others, we're precarious but ok.

1/3. Second year of cuts at Vancouver Island University as it grapples with its budget after the loss of international students and the provincial/fed governments just shrugging it off.

This is my 25th year. We've never had cuts anywhere close to this. Various levels of cuts to:

Business
Community Planning
Dental Assistant
Digital Media
