Some Ontario teachers made similar claims coupled with pictures of their crowded classrooms a year ago today as the province began to experience the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. “One Grade 7 class is at 40 students! 40! They’ll be basically sitting on top of each other,” said Yona Nestel on Twitter. Meanwhile, some parents have taken to social media to describe similar situations in their own children’s classrooms accompanied by the hashtag “UnsafeSeptember2021.” In an email viewed by CTV News Toronto, a teacher with the Toronto District School Board who asked to remain anonymous tells parents that there will be 38 students in her split Grade 7/8 class and that the size will not change until a “reorganization” in October. More students in Ontario are returning to school Thursday for the first time since April and some parents are expressing concern over the number of children in the classroom amid the fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
