Dillon Gabriel delivers as Oregon survives Ohio State

EUGENE, Ore. — After main Oregon on the go-ahead drive, Dillon Gabriel sat on the Geese’ bench along with his headset on, barely in a position to lookup with the ultimate seconds ticking away and Ohio State driving.

A couple of minutes later, the Oregon quarterback emerged from the victorious locker room dancing, taking all of it in with the followers who stormed the sphere. He ended the evening by singing throughout his postgame information convention.

In his first large sport since transferring to Oregon through the offseason, Gabriel delivered, as his third-ranked Geese prevailed in Saturday’s thrilling 32-31 victory over the second-ranked Buckeyes.

“All of us knew we have been getting a dogfight, two heavyweights going at it,” Gabriel mentioned. “That is what school soccer is all about.”

Few lively gamers know extra about school soccer than Gabriel, who made his fifty fifth profession begin Saturday. Gabriel, who beforehand performed for UCF and Oklahoma, opened the season because the Heisman betting favourite. After a sluggish begin, he emphatically reinserted his identify into the Heisman dialog with a scintillating efficiency in a Large Ten showdown in opposition to the Buckeyes.

Gabriel accomplished 23 of 34 passes for 341 yards and two touchdowns. He scored the ultimate landing of the sport, dashing for 27 yards on a wonderful pretend handoff that fooled the Ohio State protection within the fourth quarter.

With that rating, Gabriel grew to become the primary FBS participant to cross for 125 touchdowns and rush for 30 in his profession.

“Each time I went and checked out his eyes tonight, I noticed a man who was composed and prepared for his subsequent second,” Oregon coach Dan Lanning mentioned. “He performed actually, very well tonight and had some actually large moments.”

The most important second got here on Oregon’s closing drive. The Geese trailed 31-29 with six minutes to play. However Gabriel accomplished all 5 of his passes for 41 yards. The drive finally stalled on the Ohio State 1-yard line, however Atticus Sappington nailed a 19-yard discipline purpose to provide the Geese the lead with 1:47 to play.

Ohio State had its probability to win the sport, marching the ball to the Oregon 28. However freshman extensive receiver Jeremiah Smith was flagged for offensive cross interference, which pushed the Buckeyes out of discipline purpose vary. On the ultimate play, Ohio State quarterback Will Howard scrambled down the center of the sphere and slid as a substitute of taking a shot into the top zone, as time expired and Oregon college students and followers started pouring on the sphere.

“[Gabriel] confirmed toughness,” mentioned Oregon extensive receiver Tez Johnson, who hauled in a 48-yard landing from Gabriel on third-and-9 late within the second quarter, giving the Geese a 22-21 lead at halftime. “He went on the market in opposition to a top-two opponent and beat them. That reveals quite a bit proper there. … The poise he had the complete sport was unbelievable.”

The final time an AP top-three matchup was determined by a degree got here in 1991, when No. 2 Miami defeated No. 1 Florida State 17-16, in line with ESPN Analysis. The Hurricanes went on to win the nationwide championship that season.

Oregon’s victory over Ohio State put the Geese (6-0) in pole place within the Large Ten title and playoff races. The Geese are one in every of three Large Ten groups to stay undefeated, becoming a member of Penn State and Indiana. They do not face both within the common season.

Gabriel famous that Oregon nonetheless has loads of season left and a protracted strategy to go to fulfill its objectives. However when requested about his journey from Orlando, Florida, to Norman, Oklahoma, to Eugene and whether or not this win was his most gratifying but, he started singing the phrases “coast to coast” earlier than stopping to attend for the remainder of the query.

“I’ve discovered quite a bit at every cease and, extra importantly, who I’m as an individual,” he mentioned. “At this level in my profession, I simply admire the place I’m at this time. … I’ve beloved each little bit of it.”

As Gabriel got here again from the locker room to the horde of followers ready for him on the sphere simply outdoors of the tunnel, he unfold his arms open, soaking within the second. He grabbed an outsized Oregon hat from one fan and put it on his head.

Gabriel then circled and hugged coaches and teammates earlier than slipping again into the locker room, the place the celebration continued.

“Once you win in opposition to an awesome opponent, you take pleasure in it for that point,” Gabriel mentioned. “Successful is enjoyable. There’s loads of pleasure in profitable. … However we all know it is only a step in the suitable route. Tomorrow, we have got to get up and go earn it.”

Dragon Ball Daima Series Premiere Review

Dragon Ball has at all times been a marathon, not a dash, and if that sample holds then the premiere of Daima, titled “Conspiracy,” is principally the warm-up lap earlier than it locks in for the journey forward. On condition that the late Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama himself had a heavy hand within the conceptualization and manufacturing of Daima (a phrase he invented that kind of interprets to “evil”) I believe the nuggets of character-building and plot had been fastidiously nurtured kindling that the remainder of the sequence will feed off of, rising into its personal pyre, nevertheless it doesn’t precisely begin with a bang.

The flashiest factor about Daima’s premiere is its animation. Certain, it solely will get a number of show-offy CG-enhanced moments within the again half of its barely bloated 32 minutes, nevertheless it largely sticks to Dragon Ball’s home type. There was no have to reinvent the wheel; Toriyama’s distinct artwork type is iconic, revered by mangaka (manga artists) and beloved by followers. There’s a battle coaching montage between Goku and Vegeta that feels prefer it exists purely as fan service; I might virtually already hear the cheers from the theaters when the primary three episodes shall be screened collectively in mid-November.

As is becoming for a sequence reset on its fortieth anniversary, Daima begins by introducing its idea as loads of after-school shonen anime may – although it regretfully opts to drop its stable conventional opening theme and waits to announce “Right here comes a brand new story” till the top credit. Right here’s our fundamental man, Son Goku, his loopy powers, and the weird circumstances he’s confronted in life to realize the last word purpose of gathering the Dragon Balls and summoning the magical dragon Shenron to ask for 3 needs! Little doubt it’s a retro transfer that harkens again to a sure time, however I appreciated it as a direct line to the sequence’ historical past, executed with out withholding any pertinent info from potential new viewers who is likely to be extra acquainted with Al Roker accurately announcing “Tremendous Saiyan” as an enormous balloon Goku floats by means of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade than they’re with 40 years of Dragon Ball lore.

The overwhelming majority of the episode felt prefer it was talking – and winking – on to present followers.

Daima does make that effort to welcome in those that are utterly unfamiliar with Dragon Ball, however the overwhelming majority of the episode felt prefer it was talking – and winking – on to present followers. In truth, a lot time was devoted to rehashing outdated battles that I’m not precisely positive how Daima intends to distinguish itself from the remainder of the canon simply but.

How do you rank the Dragon Ball villains?

How do you rank the Dragon Ball villains?

Living proof: Precisely half of the episode takes place in a single room the place Daima’s new (and classically buffoonish) villain Gomah opinions the play-by-play footage of the enduring Dragon Ball Z battle towards Majin Buu. This whole scene within the Demon Realm’s viewing setup pulls a number of levers with out being painfully apparent. One, it’s throwing pink meat to individuals like me for whom watching that battle as a child was formative reminiscence; two, it’s giving the TL;DR of a key story arc for individuals who don’t know what a Majin Buu is; and third, it’s serving as an in-story inciting second for Gomah because the freshly topped Supreme Demon King, even when it’s not terribly convincing. He’s downright intimidated by how robust Earth beings are, so Gomah decides he should discover a strategy to squash their energy regardless of being total dimensions aside; naturally, his finest thought entails Faucet to Reveal.

All I actually needed to know is why everybody had “turned small.”

Nonetheless, it takes half the episode to get by means of all of that setup; I received’t settle for criticism for my real-time impatience when all I actually needed to know is why everybody had “turned small,” in line with Daima’s trailer. (So petty!) At the same time as Gomah leaves the Demon Realm on a seemingly pressing mission to quash the ability of the Earthlings, the motion stays measured and methodical, casually introducing a number of of the sequence’ new characters with query marks for backstories and objectives. “Who cares about all of that,” Daima appears to say, “when there are such a lot of extra episodes nonetheless forward?” (Although an actual episode depend hasn’t been confirmed, there’s hypothesis that 20 episodes are deliberate for this primary season.) We’ll get there once we get there.

Dragon Ball Daima Photographs

“Conspiracy” is so constantly paced – that’s, till the final scene of the whole episode, punctuated by the funniest laugh-out-loud line delivered flatly by the good magical dragon Shenron – that it’s frustratingly spectacular. Solely somebody with an actual grasp over their very own story might train the restraint to deliberately and intentionally not step on the fuel till exactly the fitting second. Akira Toriyama was a grasp of pacing; he wasn’t dawdling right here, however fastidiously organising each little bit of decor for his closing story, reminding all of us in regards to the issues we liked about Dragon Ball within the first place earlier than letting these variations of his characters run off on their new adventures.

It was nonetheless broad daylight once I completed the premiere of Dragon Ball Daima, which gave me an uncanny feeling of déjà vu. For weeks at a time after center college, I’d come residence and run to the TV to look at Dragon Ball Z’s blowout battle versus Majin Buu with my brother, and right here was the spotlight reel of that being replayed in a lot larger definition on a TV I purchased with my very own cash, in 2024. I used to be abruptly 12 years outdated once more, with the identical emotional maturity I had at that age: This can be a brand-new Dragon Ball period! …Why isn’t something occurring but?

Thomas’ slam off Skubal helps Guardians by Tigers, into ALCS

CLEVELAND — Guardians middle fielder Lane Thomas understands moments just like the one offered to him in Sport 5 of the AL Division Collection on Saturday do not occur typically when an ace like Tarik Skubal of the Tigers is on the mound.

Skubal had stymied Cleveland hitters all through yet one more good outing however lastly bumped into hassle within the fifth inning of the decisive contest between AL Central foes. After Skubal hit Jose Ramirez with a pitch to carry house the tying run, Thomas stepped as much as the plate in opposition to the doubtless AL Cy Younger Award winner with the bases loaded.

The gang at Progressive Discipline lastly started to stir after a sleepy first few innings on offense for the house workforce. Its temper modified in a single swing.

“You dream of at-bats like that as a little bit child, and to do it on this stage, on this sport, and to return by way of for the fellows within the clubhouse, it feels superior,” Thomas mentioned after hitting a Skubal 97 mph fastball 396 toes to left subject for a grand slam. “Concerning the third inning I used to be speaking with some guys, and I am like, ‘No matter we’re doing would not appear to be working. We now have to place the ball in play.'”

Thomas’ slam propelled the Guardians to a 5-1 lead in an eventual 7-3 triumph. He grew to become the fourth participant in MLB postseason historical past to hit a go-ahead grand slam in a winner-take-all sport, in keeping with ESPN Analysis.

After Cleveland superior to the AL Championship Collection in opposition to the New York Yankees, teammates heaped reward on Thomas throughout a champagne-and-cigar-filled celebration inside their clubhouse.

“He is an awesome ballplayer,” Josh Naylor mentioned of Thomas, who was acquired in a July commerce with the Nationals. “I knew that earlier than we picked him up.”

Ramirez added: “Once I bought hit, I simply knew he would come by way of. I knew he would.”

The house run was hit 2 toes farther than his first-inning blast in Sport 1, a 7-0 win, cementing Thomas because the hero of the sequence. He has come a good distance for the reason that commerce contemplating he hit simply .111 with a .197 OBP in his first 20 video games along with his new workforce.

“We paid a steep value [three prospects] to get him however hopefully it was to result in moments like this,” Guardians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti mentioned whereas wiping his eyes of champagne. “He is a whole baseball participant.”

Thomas simply wanted to get his “toes underneath him,” in keeping with Cleveland hitting coach Chris Valaika.

“We went by way of a little bit evolution with him,” Valaika mentioned. “As soon as he grew to become one of many guys right here, he we advantageous.”

Regardless of how he was feeling, going through Skubal was a frightening activity. Till he hit Ramirez with the bases loaded, the 27-year-old left-hander had thrown 17 scoreless innings within the postseason, together with seven in opposition to Cleveland in Sport 2. There was no fixing him to that time, however Valaika not less than wished his hitters to recollect one factor: “Do not be late on that first fastball.”

Thomas made positive of that and immediately modified the course of the sport. His house run helped supervisor Stephen Vogt navigate his bullpen a bit simpler after he eliminated starter Matthew Boyd after simply two innings.

“There have been a pair instances that we needed to form of go off the script, however on the identical time, it was watch the sport, see what the sport is telling us to do,” Vogt mentioned.

Finally, the ball landed in nearer Emmanuel Clase’s hand for a possible six-out save. The AL saves chief had been burned for a three-run homer by Tigers designated hitter Kerry Carpenter in Sport 2, then was touched for an additional run in a Guardians win in Sport 4.

However Saturday it was time for some redemption.

He struck out Carpenter on an epic eight-pitch at-bat with a runner on within the eighth inning — then stared him down. Seven of the eight pitches he threw have been not less than 100 mph.

“It went from 100 to 150,” Clase mentioned by way of an interpreter of his depth. “I am a competitor. That was in my thoughts. That wasn’t my finest pitch [in Game 2]. Folks have been saying, ‘He is my daddy.’ That is the actual Emmanuel Clase. … Even when he was on deck, I stored gazing him as a result of that was my second. This made it even for us.”

Clase bought his second and some extra as he shut the door within the ninth inning, placing an finish to an entirely entertaining five-game sequence.

“This was an unbelievable sequence,” Tigers supervisor AJ Hinch mentioned. “It is nice for baseball. It is nice for the AL Central.”

And it was nice for Thomas, who shook off early struggles to turn out to be a Cleveland hero. His house run off among the best pitchers in baseball has his workforce 4 wins from the Fall Traditional.

“Positively had some struggles these first two weeks, or perhaps even the month,” Thomas mentioned. “However I am simply grateful they form of hung with me and let me get my toes underneath me and stored giving me at-bats. You simply need to be pleased about that.”

Tigers eliminated in ALDS Game 5 loss to Guardians 2024

CLEVELAND — The final time Tarik Skubal allowed a number of runs in a recreation, the Tigers have been in Oakland on Sept. 6, nonetheless combating to remain over .500. Skubal gave up two runs to the A’s in a wild extra-inning affair, and Detroit fell again to break-even.

The final time Skubal gave up a house run, Colorado’s Jordan Beck bought him on a drive to left at Comerica Park on Sept. 12, the one run Skubal allowed in a loss that dropped Detroit 3 1/2 video games again within the AL Wild Card race.

The final time Skubal allowed a run of any type, Yuli Gurriel hit a first-inning RBI single off of him on Sept. 18 in Kansas Metropolis, a recreation that noticed the Royals tax him for 95 pitches over 5 innings however Detroit nonetheless get a win to shut the Wild Card hole somewhat extra.

As Guardians outfielder Lane Thomas stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and one out within the fifth inning Saturday, Skubal had a 28-inning scoreless streak that had simply ended and a 32-inning homerless streak nonetheless going. In a Tigers late-season run that has thrived on matchups, Detroit wouldn’t have needed anybody else. They’d’ve gladly taken it in early August, in mid-September and particularly Saturday.

“He might’ve given up 100 right now, and I nonetheless would take him over anyone,” catcher Jake Rogers stated.

It wasn’t only a snapshot of how dominant Skubal has been, however how far the Tigers got here to get right here. And as Thomas despatched Skubal’s first-pitch fastball deep to left for a go-ahead grand slam, this was the matchup on which Sport 5 of the AL Division Sequence turned, although it was removed from the one cause the Tigers’ unimaginable postseason run led to a 7-3 defeat.

“The second was the second,” Skubal advised reporters afterward. “In that second, you’re eager about executing a pitch, and I didn’t try this.”

That is the robust a part of the postseason expertise that the younger, largely unseasoned Tigers gained in abundance for 2 rounds and 7 thrilling video games.

“I’ve a heartbroken workforce for all the precise causes,” supervisor A.J. Hinch stated. “I imply, we left every part we might on the sector in opposition to a very good workforce, and we did not need the season to finish as abruptly because it did.

“I thanked them for every part that they are about. I am actually proud to be the supervisor and symbolize them so many days in entrance of the digicam, in entrance of the media, [and I] get to run the workforce on the sector due to who they’re and what they’re about. And I allow them to know, there’s just one workforce that does not have this pit in your abdomen on the finish of the yr, and we have been the subsequent one to undergo it.”

It was Detroit’s finest in opposition to Cleveland’s finest, which gave the Tigers some solace in an emotional clubhouse afterward. However greater than something, the prospect to replicate on what that they had carried out over the past couple of months — the form of reflection they’d largely averted because it occurred — helped them smile by way of the tears.

“I’m tremendous happy with this group,” Riley Greene stated. “Nobody thought we might be right here moreover us, in case you actually give it some thought. It’s going to harm for somewhat bit, however when it stops hurting — possibly in per week, possibly a month, I don’t know — tremendous proud.”

For half an inning, Kerry Carpenter — hobbled by a left hamstring he injured in Sport 4 — was poised to be the Tigers’ newest hero, stepping off the bench to lace a line drive off the right-field wall to attain Trey Sweeney from first base and break a scoreless duel within the high of the fifth.

Carpenter, whose three-run homer was all Detroit wanted in Skubal’s earlier begin this collection in Sport 2, might solely hobble to first base. However in a collection that had seen the Tigers wrestle to transform scoring alternatives since Sport 4, he had carried out his job. It wasn’t a lot, but when anybody might carry it, Skubal was the man, having held Cleveland to 2 singles over the primary 4 innings and 5 hits over 11 scoreless innings for the collection.

The Guardians pieced collectively a rally to arrange the massive swing. Andrés Giménez and Steven Kwan received lefty-lefty matchups, sitting on fastballs to slash opposite-field singles. David Fry’s infield grounder slowed as Skubal and Colt Keith gave chase, organising a bases-loaded duel between Skubal and fellow All-Star José Ramírez.

“We simply talked about being on the heater,” Guardians supervisor Stephen Vogt stated. “He is bought two actually good fastballs, and he threw them loads to us over the past begin, beginning the common season and all that. So we simply talked to our guys about being on the fastball, and we have been.”

Ramírez simply missed a grand slam, sending Skubal’s 97 mph sinker down the right-field line however simply foul. Skubal tried to bust Ramírez inside together with his subsequent pitch, however the 99.9 mph fastball hit Ramírez on the forearm, ending Skubal’s scoreless streak, tying the sport and retaining the bases loaded for Thomas.

Thomas’ Statcast-projected 396-foot drive off Skubal’s 97 mph sinker was the primary grand slam of Skubal’s skilled profession, Main or Minor Leagues. It was simply Skubal’s 18th Main League plate look with the bases loaded.

“Lane was a ache in my butt this collection,” Rogers stated. “It was speculated to be sinker in, and it form of leaked over the plate somewhat bit, and Lane did what he was speculated to.”

The 5 runs off Skubal tied his season excessive. He wanted simply 9 pitches to retire his remaining 5 batters from there, exiting after six innings to hugs within the Tigers’ dugout.

“Clearly, he gave every part that he might and extra,” Hinch stated. “And right now wasn’t his fault. I imply, he was in full management of the sport, and we want we might have staked some runs for him to provide him somewhat little bit of respiratory room, and it was a giant blow.

“This one goes to eat at him by way of your entire offseason due to what was at stake. However give me that man once more in a playoff collection, in a playoff-deciding recreation.”

Detroit had possibilities to reply the Guardians’ rally. However whereas they chipped away — Spencer Torkelson doubling and scoring on Rogers’ two-out single within the sixth and Keith doubling dwelling Greene within the seventh — they couldn’t get the larger inning they wanted.

Whereas the Guardians celebrated on the sector in entrance of a raucous sellout crowd, the Tigers soaked it in.

“I watched it,” stated Parker Meadows, who reached base safely 4 instances off 4 pitchers and tied Corridor of Famer Charlie Gehringer’s franchise report with hits in seven consecutive video games to start his postseason profession. “It hurts, but it surely’s a part of the sport. We’re all going to look again and be pleased with how far we got here. We proved lots of people fallacious.”

Enquête à l’école Bedford : des vérifications seront effectuées dans trois autres écoles de Montréal

L’enquête menée à l’école primaire Bedford de Montréal, où sévissaient des pratiques éducatives inadéquates, amène le ministère de l’Éducation à faire des vérifications dans trois autres établissements de la métropole.

Il s’agit des écoles Saint-Pascal-Baylon (primaire), Bienville (primaire) et La Voie (secondaire), qui relèvent toutes du Centre de providers scolaire de Montréal.

Le cupboard du ministre est resté très obscure sur les motifs qui l’ont poussé à déclencher ces nouvelles enquêtes. Les écoles Saint-Pascal-Baylon et La Voie sont situées à proximité de l’école Bedford, dans l’arrondissement de Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. L’école Bienville se trouve, quant à elle, à Montréal-Nord.

« Les vérifications visent principalement le climat au sein de ces écoles ainsi que de possibles ingérences dans les situations de gouvernance », a fait savoir le ministre de l’Éducation, Bernard Drainville, par communiqué.

Le ministre a également rendu public vendredi un rapport d’enquête dévastateur sur la state of affairs à l’école Bedford, où un « clan dominant » de professeurs avait instauré « un climat de peur et d’intimidation ».

« Les enquêteurs ont rapporté que certaines matières n’étaient pas enseignées ou très peu à l’école Bedford, signale le ministère. Des lacunes ont été identifiées dans l’enseignement de la communication orale, des sciences et de la technologie, de l’éthique et tradition religieuse et de l’éducation à la sexualité. »

Le ministère de l’Éducation avait lancé cette enquête sur l’école après la diffusion, en 2023, d’une série de reportages de la journaliste Valérie Lebeuf, de la station de radio 98,5 FM.

Une approche « traditionnelle »

Adeptes d’une imaginative and prescient « traditionnelle » de l’éducation, les professeurs mis en trigger se refusaient à toute critique et avaient créé une sorte d’emprise sur l’école « au détriment de la qualité des providers éducatifs », selon le rapport.

Cette imaginative and prescient « traditionnelle » reposait sur des cours « magistraux » (où le professeur parle devant les élèves) basés strictement sur des manuels, sans possibilité, par exemple, qu’il y ait des activités en groupe ou par projets.

Or, cette approche est particulièrement inadéquate pour les élèves allophones, soulignent les auteurs, qui mentionnent que moins de 20 % des élèves de Bedford parlent français à la maison.

« Pour plusieurs élèves, l’école est le seul milieu qu’ils fréquentent dans lequel ils peuvent pratiquer le français. En ce sens, ils ont besoin que les events de parler soient les plus nombreuses possibles, ce qui est incompatible avec les méthodes traditionnelles qui valorisent l’enseignement magistral. »

Plusieurs enseignants refusaient en outre des providers complémentaires de l’école, notamment pour les enfants ayant des besoins particuliers. Selon un témoin entendu dans un des reportages de Mme Lebeuf, pour ces enseignants, « les enfants en difficulté seraient en fait des enfants faisant preuve de paresse, de caprice et ne voulant pas donner les efforts nécessaires. Il fut également mentionné que selon certains enseignants, le TSA n’existe pas ».

Les faits rapportés s’étirent sur plusieurs années à partir de 2017-2018.

Des conflits idéologiques plus que culturels

Selon les auteurs du rapport, on aurait tort de voir dans les tensions à Bedford une confrontation entre deux cultures. « Bien que le clan majoritaire soit surtout composé de personnes d’origine maghrébine, des personnes d’autres origines y sont aussi associées. Également, le clan minoritaire est lui aussi composé en partie d’individus d’origine maghrébine, incluant certaines des plus fortes oppositions au clan majoritaire. »

« Bien que le volet culturel puisse expliquer certaines de ces divergences d’opinions […] , les enquêteurs les ont davantage considérés comme des clans en opposition d’idéologies et de visions. »

Le rapport a convaincu le ministère de soumettre onze professeurs à des comités d’enquête, qui devront notamment établir s’ils peuvent ou non conserver leur brevet d’enseignement.

Deux « accompagnateurs » seront également dépêchés à l’école pour élaborer un plan visant à régler les problèmes internes, soit à rétablir le climat, assurer la qualité de l’enseignement et mettre un terme à « l’ingérence du personnel enseignant dans la gestion de l’école ».

Le plan devra être achevé pour le 30 novembre.

“These issues meet up with you,” Kiffin mentioned. “You miss a subject aim. A fourth-and-1 the place we do not get it lower off so we get no factors within the pink zone. We hand them three factors with the fumble on the finish of the half. That is why I felt like we had been outplaying them, and we had been the higher workforce for almost all of the sport. However you have to shut them out.”

Côte-des-Neiges | À l’école primaire Bedford, un climat toxique, violent, sur fond de « clan dominant »

Onze enseignants font l’objet d’une enquête après un rapport accablant sur l’école primaire Bedford, du centre de providers scolaire de Montréal. En trigger : un groupe d’enseignants d’origine maghrébine faisant la loi dans cette école, adoptant des pratiques pédagogiques inappropriées et n’enseignant pas, ou peu, certaines matières.



Le ministre de l’Éducation, Bernard Drainville, oblige la mise en place de mesures « sans précédent » à l’école Bedford, située dans Côte-des-Neiges, et ordonne aussi que des « vérifications » soient faites dans trois autres écoles du centre de providers scolaire de Montréal (CSSDM), soit les écoles Saint-Pascal-Baylon (primaire), Bienville (primaire) et La Voie (secondaire).

Le rapport d’enquête sur l’école Bedford dévoilé vendredi par le ministre de l’Éducation rend compte d’« un climat de peur et d’intimidation instauré par un clan dominant ». Il y est aussi dit que « le niveau de compétences des enseignants est inquiétant ».

Ces dernières années, pas moins d’une vingtaine d’employés auraient fui cette école toxique.

Deux accompagnateurs ont été dépêchés à l’école Bedford pour rétablir « un climat sain et sécuritaire », s’assurer que de la formation rende les enseignants plus compétents et rétablir « le bon fonctionnement de la route d’école et du conseil d’établissement ».

L’enquête ministérielle a été lancée à la suite d’un reportage de la journaliste Valérie Lebeuf, de la station 98,5, en mai 2023.

Sur ces mêmes ondes vendredi, le ministre Bernard Drainville a dit avoir été troublé d’apprendre qu’un enseignant « a tenté de fermer une porte sur les doigts d’un élève », qu’une enseignante s’est « mise à prier plutôt que de porter secours à une élève qui venait de perdre connaissance », qu’une élève s’est fait pousser par un membre du personnel au level de tomber au sol, que des élèves subissent de la violence psychologique et se font dire « il n’y a rien à faire avec toi, tu es une trigger perdue ».

Le ministre de l’Éducation, Bernard Drainville

Dans un témoignage récolté par Valérie Lebeuf qui a été de nouveau diffusé vendredi, un enseignant raconte que des enseignants ne laissaient pas les orthophonistes ou les orthopédagogues entrer en classe, automotive pour « un homme enseignant musulman, d’avoir une femme orthophoniste ou une femme orthopédagogue en classe », c’était « confrontant ».

Au demeurant, ils ne croyaient pas aux vertus de l’orthophonie ou de l’orthopédagogie, a dit ce témoin.

Le rapport d’enquête dévoilé vendredi, mais qui est daté de juin 2024, indique que « la state of affairs décrite dans les médias semble opposer un camp de personnes d’origine maghrébine, qualifié de “clan dominant” ou de “clan majoritaire” contre un clan composé d’individus d’origines diverses qualifié de “clan minoritaire” ».

« Bien que le clan majoritaire soit surtout composé de personnes d’origine maghrébine, des personnes d’autres origines y sont aussi associées. Également, le clan minoritaire est lui aussi composé en partie d’individus d’origine maghrébine, incluant certaines des plus fortes oppositions au clan majoritaire. Il serait fautif de conclure qu’un individu d’origine maghrébine, enseignant à l’école Bedford, soit nécessairement associé au clan dominant. »

Le rapport, en partie caviardé, évoque de gros conflits au sein du personnel, allant même jusqu’à la mise en circulation d’une pétition par laquelle certains réclament le droit de parler dans leur langue d’origine, quand ils le désirent, dans les espaces communs de l’école, plutôt qu’en français.

« Les clans présentent des visions et des conceptions différentes de l’éducation, de la pédagogie et des relations avec les élèves, peut-on lire dans le rapport. Ils présentent également des conceptions différentes de la démocratie, des relations avec la route et du rôle de l’enseignant dans une école. »

Les enquêteurs ont rapporté que certaines matières n’étaient pas ou très peu enseignées à l’école Bedford, des lacunes étant identifiées notamment en sciences, en éthique, en tradition religieuse et en éducation à la sexualité.

Des comités d’enquête viendront maintenant déterminer si les 11 enseignants en query « ont commis une faute grave ou un acte dérogatoire à l’honneur ou à la dignité de la career enseignante dans l’exercice de leurs fonctions ».

Leur autorisation d’enseigner ou leur brevet pourraient être maintenus sous situations, suspendus ou révoqués.

D’autres écoles maintenant sous la loupe

Bernard Drainville demande aussi à son ministère de procéder rapidement à des vérifications dans trois autres écoles du CSSDM, « soit les écoles Saint-Pascal-Baylon (primaire), Bienville (primaire) et La Voie (secondaire) », l’enquête sur l’école Bedford portant à croire que des dérives idéologiques ont aussi cours chez le personnel de ces établissements.

Dans un communiqué, le CSSDM a dit vendredi qu’il « prend acte » des recommandations de l’enquête, laquelle « met en lumière des pratiques pédagogiques inacceptables » qui ont eu cours au fil des ans, et dit qu’il est vital « de dénoncer sans tarder les conditions inappropriées ».

La députée libérale Marwah Rizqy

Saluant le travail de la journaliste du 98,5 qui a révélé l’histoire, la députée libérale Marwah Rizqy, qui a réclamé en 2023 la tenue d’une enquête sur l’école Bedford, félicite Bernard Drainville d’y avoir acquiescé. Elle se réjouit que les enquêteurs aient fait un travail de fond, interviewant pas moins de 73 personnes.

Mme Rizqy dénonce par contre un courriel de l’équipe de communications du CSSDM – envoyé en 2023 en copie conforme à deux de ses collègues députés libéraux – qu’elle a perçu comme étant de l’intimidation. Il lui a été acheminé, dit-elle, « dans le however de [la] faire taire ».

Mme Rizqy regrette aussi qu’Isabelle Gélinas, directrice du centre de providers scolaire, ait trop longtemps minimisé les faits et mis beaucoup de temps à comprendre que les problèmes à l’école Bedford étaient toujours d’actualité.

Remark cette state of affairs a-t-elle pu perdurer depuis 2016 avant qu’un rapport aboutisse ?

Mme Rizqy juge que c’est malheureux, mais que c’est hélas le temps qu’il a fallu pour aller totalement au fond des choses dans ce file hautement délicat.

Sur Twitter, le député péquiste Pascal Bérubé a déclaré que « les écoles du Québec ne doivent pas succomber à des dérives idéologiques, nous devons protéger les élèves en leur garantissant notre programme [pédagogique] nationwide et commun ».

Catherine Beauvais-St-Pierre, présidente de l’Alliance des professeures et professeurs de Montréal, a dit en entrevue que les problèmes à cette école auraient dû être pris en major par le centre de providers scolaire. « On s’attendait à ce qu’il prenne ses responsabilités. »

LSU football’s wild rally could change Brian Kelly tenure

  • LSU stored its School Soccer Playoff hopes afloat with a dramatic win over Ole Miss. What’s it imply for Brian Kelly? That is robust to say.
  • LSU leapfrogs Ole Miss in playoff pecking order.
  • LSU protection grows a backbone, Garrett Nussmeier comes up clutch, and Lane Kiffin’s Rebels wilt once more.

BATON ROUGE, La. – Keep in mind Saturday night time.

If LSU scratches and claws and muddies and escapes and fights its approach into the School Soccer Playoff, bear in mind the night time the No. 10 Tigers gained a recreation they by no means led till the ultimate play.

If this 29-26 extra time win over No. 8 Ole Miss galvanizes Brian Kelly’s tenure, and he proves himself value that $95 million funding LSU made three years in the past, bear in mind the night time his protection grew a backbone and his quarterback fought by way of the robust instances.

And when it was completed, LSU fired off sufficient fireworks that it might’ve been Independence Day, whereas followers stormed the sphere. By no means thoughts that the Tigers have been only a slight underdog.

This unbelievable escape warranted celebration.

“These moments don’t come typically in life, for certain,” LSU linebacker Whit Weeks mentioned. “It was enjoyable.”

It turned a turning-point victory in Kelly’s turning-point third season.

Or, it supplied LSU a gulp of pleasure earlier than the underside falls out within the second half of the schedule.

I’m unsure which it’ll show to be. I might imagine both.

LSU’s six remaining video games are towards SEC competitors. There’s not a recreation remaining LSU (5-1) can’t win – or a recreation it couldn’t lose.

SHOCKER!No. 10 LSU soccer stuns No. 8 Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin in dramatic end. The way it occurred

STATEMENT VICTORY:Oregon defeats Ohio State as Dan Lanning lastly will get his big-game win

And the Tigers might be the SEC’s second-best crew or its seventh-best crew. I’m unconvinced there’s a lot distinction.

“This league is large open,” LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier mentioned. “I believe we took an enormous step tonight.”

It’s large open behind Texas, anyway.

LSU soccer leapfrogs Ole Miss in playoff pecking order

As for LSU’s cardiac cats, they’re nonetheless somewhat tough across the edges, however so are most SEC groups. They’re bettering, they battle, they’ve acquired a quarterback, and some good receivers, and their protection discovered a pulse towards a top-10 opponent, and so, what the heck, why can’t the Tigers make the playoff? They’ve acquired about pretty much as good of an opportunity as a lot of different groups that sit on one loss.

They’ve acquired a greater probability of constructing the playoff than Ole Miss (5-2). I do know that a lot.

“We’re actual,” Nussmeier mentioned afterward. “The Tigers are actual. I believe we proved that tonight. There have been struggles, and there have been errors, however we discovered a technique to win the sport.”

Kelly raved about LSU’s efficiency – not as a result of it was excellent, however as a result of it wasn’t, and the Tigers nonetheless hung inside placing distance till they lastly broke by way of whereas Ole Miss caved. He raved a few protection that equipped six sacks. He raved about his quarterback who shrugged off two interceptions, plus a slew of incompletions, and threw landing passes on his remaining two tosses.

“This crew is getting higher,” Kelly mentioned.

That’s a good evaluation, and the identical might be mentioned of Kelly’s 2022 Tigers, who misplaced their season opener earlier than upsetting Alabama and reaching the SEC Championship Recreation.

LSU beat Alabama that season on a 2-point conversion. Given one other probability Saturday to win a rivalry recreation with a 2-point strive, Kelly modified course. He didn’t need a single play to determine this final result.

“I simply felt like our guys labored too onerous to get again in that recreation” Kelly mentioned, “that I didn’t wish to go for 2 in an all-or-nothing scenario.”

So, after Nussmeier introduced LSU to inside some extent with a fourth-down landing dart to Aaron Anderson, Kelly elected for an additional level to tie the sport and pressure extra time.

Depend Weeks amongst these happiest that Kelly didn’t order up a 2-point conversion.

“I used to be glad to get to play some extra ball,” Weeks mentioned. “Shoot, we don’t get to play once more ‘til subsequent Saturday. I like enjoying extra soccer.”

LSU’s protection, which performed nicely all through the second half, vindicated Kelly’s determination.

As the gang reached decibels it hadn’t hit all night time, the Rebels moved in reverse throughout their extra time possession and wanted a 57-yard area objective to salvage factors.

Mission completed for LSU’s protection. After which …

“It’s go time,” LSU large receiver Kyren Lacy mentioned.

Successful time, too.

Nussmeier tossed to Lacy on the primary play of LSU’s extra time possession.

Comeback full.

Garrett Nussmeier delivers for LSU in clutch

The extra the Tigers performed, the higher they appeared.

The sport remained scoreless after the primary quarter, however LSU might contemplate itself lucky to not be trailing 17-0. Ole Miss’ Tre Harris dropped what ought to have been an 81-yard landing cross, and that expensive drop was other than two first-quarter red-zone journeys that produced no factors.

“We commanded nearly all of the sport,” Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin mentioned. “… They’re a superb crew, and we’re a superb crew, however we should always’ve gained that recreation.”

Which should make it all of the extra maddening for Kiffin that the Rebels misplaced.

Ole Miss spent a reasonably penny – bundles of pennies, in reality – to enhance its protection by way of a switch haul, and though the unit undeniably improved, this marks twice that it’s did not ship game-winning stops in crucial moments.

Simply two weeks in the past, Kentucky used a fourth-and-7 completion to maintain alive a drive that ended with a game-winning landing.

Nussmeier wanted two fourth-down completions simply to tie this recreation, then one 25-yard strike to Lacy to win it.

“We’re a gritty bunch. We’re going to maintain preventing to the very finish,” Weeks mentioned. “We knew the entire recreation, we’re not shedding this ballgame.”

If Weeks knew that whereas Ole Miss managed a lot of the sport, then credit score his religion. And credit score the Tigers’ resilience.

That is the night time Kelly’s tenure took off. Or, not.

However, it’s definitely the night time LSU pulled off a most unbelievable comeback, preserved its playoff hopes, and put Ole Miss’ personal aspirations on life assist.
