63% of Quebecers say a kid’s place is in school
A recent survey found that only 63% of Quebecers feel that a kid’s place is in school. Doesn’t say what age of kids was under consideration.
This might dovetail with the recent “discovery” that a lot of kids work, and the passage of a law last year that a kid has to be 14 before taking a job.

Interesting that this percentage is a mirror of the functional illiteracy rates in Quebec.

“Le sondage a été mené sur le Web auprès de 1004 Québécois, entre le 28 novembre et le 3 décembre dernier.”
It also seems to be confounding “a kid’s place is in school” and “a kid’s first priority should be school”, and I’m curious if those are disaggregated in the data anywhere.

That article is really hard to follow. It feels like it was written by an off-brand A.I. bot.
