Right decision

Dear Editor:

RE: Kids won’t be going back to school on April 6, March 26.

It is truly a good feeling to know that the government of Ontario is taking measures to ensure the safety of kids in the province. I am a Grade 8 student, and I think that moving the school return date of April 6 was the right choice, and also the only realistic one.

In times like these, safety should always be the first priority. We need only to take a look at other countries to see what can happen if we do not do everything possible to stop COVID-19 from spreading further.

I was also interested to hear of the “Learn at home” learning portal. I think it is extremely important that the government is doing something to continue the education of students. Although we are in a pandemic, and currently in a state of emergency, we must continue to learn in which ever way possible.

Lets all stay safe, practice social distancing, and try to keep a positive outlook during these tough times.
