3. The problem is

kids with special learning needs, those from minority communities, and those in homes of working class and lower income families were falling behind farther than their peers.

As it was in BC we returned part time in June but full time for children of essential workers (not frontline, just essential). The plan was to extend full time in class to kids who are vulnerable learners as well.

The remote Ed system was awful. It wasn’t engaging. It didn’t address diverse learning needs. Education has changed. When they just followed along in a book and heard lectures while sitting at a desk, that could have worked for remote learning. It’s not how our kids learn now in many places.
