The Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association (OECTA) has just released a new study conducted amongst Ontario parents with children in public schools to understand parents’ perceptions of the 2020/21 school year, namely the switch to online learning and how it impacted their child’s academic and social development. Teresa da Costa an elementary school teacher from York, talks about what the survey means “on the ground” in classrooms and what a safe return in the fall looks like.
