Ontario Education Minister Stephen Lecce said he has been in discussions with the presidents of teachers’ unions in that province on how to support students at home

Spring break is over in most of Canada but provincial governments and teachers’ unions are still trying to figure out how learning will resume at home, which for many parents has been transformed into a workplace and now a classroom.

“We have issues all across Canada with high-speed internet and the fact that in some areas you don’t even have that.” Butler said students also worry how their marks from limited tests they took at school will factor into acceptance by universities. The Ontario government has said classes will resume in two weeks following March break. In British Columbia, schools are closed indefinitely while the B.C. Teachers Union and the Education Ministry come up with a plan.In a statement, he said they are also discussing strengthening professional development for teachers to better support students online and outside the classroom, as well as professional care on issues like mental health and special education needs.

“If teachers need technology and photocopying, we need to know when they will be in the building, who will use the copier, and then we will have a cleaning protocol for the copier after each use and for any classroom they have visited.”

Problem is not all kids have homes, parents who are available, access to the internet (no more public access) etc. In the case of Alberta there is no longer staff to phone and check on them. Then there's food and mental health....

blyschuk My grade 6 boy started with google classroom last week, the first 3 days the worked on the technology to utilize this, well done! Today is the first day of 'class' he is engaged and for the most part on his own. Important to co-regulate and have sense of structure!

On the bright side the brainwashing left wing indoctrination will be eased as these teachers can't force their opinions on unsuspecting students.

Better get use to it because it’s going to be a long ride if we all want to fight this deadly virus

But City of Toronto using ECEs for political gain in this crisis period
