What School Could Be — If We Had The Courage To Imagine Differently 

Lisa is joined by jeewan chanicka and Alison Bradshaw for a powerful conversation about the future of public education in Ontario and beyond.

The conversation explores:

• Ontario’s new attendance and standardized testing policies

• Why students are disengaging from school

• The impact of policy on neurodivergent learners

• The difference between education as a public good vs workforce pipeline

• Indigenous approaches to learning and community

• The role of governance, trustees, and privatization

• What education could become if rooted in humanity and belonging

  Key Takeaways:

• Behaviour is communication, not defiance

• Attendance problems are often symptoms of deeper systemic issues

• Standardized exams frequently measure stress and privilege more than intelligence

• Public education should develop humans, not just workers

• Indigenous knowledge systems challenge industrialized education models

• Hope requires imagination and action
