Health committee  I'll send you the link for sure.

Health committee  I want to invite everyone to our commission's meeting. We're having one next Friday. It's a Canada-wide summit at which we're going to come up with a plan. Basically it's all hands on deck. We're going to try to look at the students who are living in the “third bucket” and, over the summer, re-engage them, reconnect with them and revitalize them.

Health committee  The most recent closure, I believe, is having a cumulative effect on students. With the first closure, there were some students who resisted and stayed in the system, but some left. The second time a few more left the system. At this point, I believe—as with teachers in the system—they're tired.

Health committee  Yes. There are students who have ELDs or are learning English. There are students who have anxieties built up. There are students who are struggling with the new learning model, which is online learning. We're losing those students. There's also the “rich kid” paradox, where kids who are traditionally doing well and have all the resources are leaving school as well.

Health committee  Good afternoon, everyone. Thanks for having me. I'm representing Focus Education Consulting today. It's what I do. I'm an education consultant as well as a teacher. I'm also volunteering with the Worldwide Commission to Educate All Kids (Post-Pandemic), where I represent Canada.
