In an email, The Breach asked Bell Media and CTV why the media conglomerate takes a stance on Palestinian statehood and how they would respond to critics who believe the guidance erases the history and identity of a people.
Excellent piece. Thank you so much for exposing the culture of fear, corruption, and Israel-first attitude that is prevalent at CTV and Bell Media. One day those shameless editors and managers will be exposed and held accountable for their actions.
No one is down playing the number of casualties in Gaza. The health ministry is ran by Hamas. Hamas is a terrorist organization motivated by making people like you read big numbers and freak out. It is the same organization that blamed Israel for bombing a hospital and killing 500. The same organization that is holding 250 civilians hostage. The same organization that uses human shields and hid in hospitals, schools and mosques. Same organization that intentionally mixes between combatants to civilians. Their numbers are not accurate. Therefore, your numbers are not accurate and you are in no position to declare whether someone is downplaying it or not. No one knows exact number so therefore, not giving an exact number is proper journalism . Unlike your piece, fueled by a one sided narrative. The same narrative you are criticizing others for having
Since our founding in 1903, thousands of great women have walked our halls as Branksome students. They have been routinely welcomed into the finest colleges and universities around the world, with many receiving scholarships. Branksome alumnae have gone on to make a difference in just about any and every imaginable field and endeavour. I can't help but be awed by the impact they have had, and continue to have, on the world around us.
I have spent a quarter of a century working in independent schools in Ontario, having focused my career on curriculum development and research on learning and the adolescent brain. The following judgment, then, must carry some weight: The Academy is a uniquely impressive school, one that profoundly improves the quality of life of its students, and promises to multiply such improvement as they move on successfully to post-secondary studies or meaningful work placements. Of course, these are large claims, but they are supported by the achievements of our graduates. We have taken approved Ontario Ministry of Education courses and incorporated them into unique programs to meet the needs of our student population. Our goal is to give our students the skills to graduate from The Academy with their Ontario Secondary School Diploma in hand, ready to face the challenges of university, college or vocational endeavors.
Our personal, differentiated approach, specialized programs and individualized use of assistive technology are ideally suited to those students with mild learning disabilities or learning style differences. Our students typically have communication exceptionalities such as: learning disabilities, autism, giftedness and/or medical conditions that affect learning such as ADD and ADHD which have impacted their achievements in school settings. At the Academy we support our students from their first day of school with an Individual Education Plan outlining supports and accommodations specific to their needs.
The Academy team is made up of experienced teaching professionals with accreditation in their professional fields. They bring varied backgrounds and expertise in special education, IT, counseling, mentorship, curriculum development, guidance and career counseling, cooperative education, and many others.
Students who thrive at Branksome Hall are thoughtful learners who seek knowledge and think critically. Even at a young age, Branksome Hall students are comfortable with differing points of view and they ask challenging questions and solve complex problems. It is important that students are interested in engaging with the school, their community and the world around us. Some key words that describe the Branksome Hall student include risk-taker, communicator, thinker, inquirer, principled, caring, open-minded, balanced, reflective, spirited and awe-inspiring.
