Make a decision : Parents search for clarity following indefinite remote-learning announcement

LONDON, ONT. For the second time this year, Middlesex-London parents will have to make room for remote learning. Premier Doug Ford made the announcement on Monday that Ontario schools will stay closed indefinitely to in-person learning as COVID-19 cases continue to surge in the province. The announcement has left some parents scrambling to plan ahead for the weeks to come. “I would really love clarity,” says Kate Helsen. A parent of two children and aprofessor, Helsen says she is looking for a clear line of direction from the provincial government. Just before Easter they were telling us the schools are safe, the schools are fine, but the last day of school before the break the kids came out with two extra bags of all of their stuff from school…just in case…people need to know what their lives are going to look like in two to three weeks.”

Some say teacher vaccinations not coming soon enough

LONDON, ONT. The lessons of disappointment are being learned within school communities across the region, as education workers are denied the COVID-19 vaccine for at least another five weeks. The provincial government said Tuesday that teachers and other essential workers won’t be eligible for the shot until the middle of May - when the school year is nearing its end. It’s not the news that some wanted to hear, including London parent Holly Lachateloe. “Yes they should be vaccinated. It would be helpful. ‘Cause then they’d be more safe and we wouldn’t have to worry, probably.”
