High school kids bidden back to class
High school kids are theoretically back to school in person full time Monday, even though risk is still high, and while older people are better protected now than in the first wave, younger people are still getting sick. Some parents and experts are not happy about the students going back, nor are the students themselves.
The Tyee has a good piece by Andrew Nikiforuk, We could have been largely free of the pandemic by now, in which he blames politicians for dithering. A must-read.

High schools are allowed to have the kids back, but it’s not required. I suspect most will only let the grade 9 students come back because their chairs and desks are still in the classrooms.
I doubt grade 10 or 11 will come back at all this school year, and I think my oldest has a 50-50 chance of starting next year in the classroom full time.
