According to the Toronto District School Board , about 3,300 elementary students and 1,500 secondary students have registered for virtual learning for the 2022-2023 school year.“We had anticipated that that number would go down,” TDSB spokesperson Ryan Bird told CTV News Toronto on Wednesday. “I think for some, we know that in-person learning that works best for them. For others, sometimes virtual learning is the best route for them and has been through COVID.
Virtual learning will look similar to past years, Bird said. There will be a standalone virtual school designated for secondary students while elementary students will still technically be part of their regular school environment. Bird said the TDSB is still finalizing it’s guidance for September, but that classes will look about the same as last year as the COVID-19 precautions haven’t changed.
“We're still in the middle of finalizing a lot of that information and then we'll be sharing that with the system shortly.”
I feel sorry for those kids still continuing to do remote learning.
Poor Doug Ford. He was really counting on his govt’s mismanagement of the pandemic and schools would lead to privatization via virtual learning.
Great news, students belong in class
