Lesson plan: Why Ontario is reopening schools

from This Matters Hosted by Toronto Star

With the Ontario government announcing its plan for all schools across the province to reopen, parents responded with a mixture of joy and uncertainty. The majority agrees kids should go back to the classroom, but concerns about safeguards remain as new more contagious variants of COVID-19 spread through the community. Kris Rushowy is a reporter for the Star's Queen's Park Bureau who has followed the school element of the pandemic. She shares what to expect and what we still don't know about the "lesson" plan.
