No point in GB reading this since he is in denial about school situation in Halton
But for remaining others still lurking

Govt planning to have extended winter school closures + "changes" are coming to how schools are run in Jan (I'm betting more kids kicked home to virtual learning to prevent these outbreaks, we shall see)


https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/ontario-cons ... -1.5192592

The Ontario government is considering an extended school closure as the winter break approaches.

Education Minister Stephen Lecce commented on the matter on Tuesday, adding that a comprehensive announcement is coming sometime in the next two weeks.

“We have to do whatever it takes to protect the gains we've made in the ministry, within our education ecosystem,” Lecce told reporters following Question Period. “ I am seriously looking at solutions that may include some period out of class that allows for us to protect the gains we made in this province going into the second year. And we will be able to report more substantively on that soon to give parents notice that understandably they deserve.”

Lecce hinted that the announcement will involve some changes for January, but did not release any further details.

"The announcement we will unveil will be comprehensive and include a variety of elements, one of which can include something like an extended closure and online learning experience.”

As of Tuesday, there have been a total of 3,518 lab-confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 in Ontario schools and 614 in licensed child-care facilities.

Your comprehension skills are interesting. You read "The Ontario government is considering an extended school closure as the winter break approaches." but conclude "Govt planning to have extended winter school closures"

They won't close schools for too long. Parents don't want their kids at home because they have to work and because they can't really teach them themselves. It's interesting that some regions around the world are going into lockdowns but schools are one of the few places that are kept open. I guess that gives parents the option to keep their kids home if they can or want to but also gives those with no options, a place to send their kids each day.
