Ontario school boards are delaying the start of virtual learning due to a growing demand for online education in the run-up to back-to-school.Three Toronto-area boards say they’ve seen a surge in parents opting to keep their kids out of the classroom during the COVID-19 pandemic in the eleventh hour, further complicating the already difficult task of co-ordinating classes.The Peel District School Board, for instance, says it had to push back live online classes because 10,000 students signed up for virtual learning in the past week.
Some Ontario students return to class for first time since COVID-19 pandemic began It says such classes will now start on Sept.
