Welcome to another episode of our podcast, where we unravel the pressing concerns within the realm of education. In today’s installment, we shine a spotlight on a topic that’s sending shockwaves across the continent: the mysterious disappearance of students from classrooms. This isn’t just an American phenomenon; our neighbors to the north, Canada, are grappling with it too. We kick off with a poignant story of an 11-year-old boy who felt so unsafe at school that he stopped attending altogether, leaving his mother feeling powerless. Join us as we delve into the crucial matter of school safety and its role in bringing students back. Moreover, we explore the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, where students were taught that learning from home was not only viable but sometimes preferable. How do we now convince them that returning to school is the better way? It’s a conundrum that affects not only students but parents, teachers, and entire communities. Stay tuned as we unpack the layers of this complex issue.
