Lest We Forget.
Today is Remembrance Day in Canada. I would like to thank all Canadians who fought in past wars and those who are fighting today. All of you have contributed to making Canada what it is today.
Of course Canada could not have done it alone so I also want to thank all of those who fought alongside Canada. Victory would not have been possible without all of you. Fighting together, the Allies have made the world a better place.
I will never forget what any of these men and women have done and will be standing with all of you today at 11:11am.
Thank you, one and all. Lest we forget.

I’ve come to a frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It’s my personal approach that creates the climate. It’s my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child’s life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or dehumanized.
