It's been a 'mixed bag', but most Canadian schools have kept students in class

For one of Canada's most densely populated communities, this Toronto suburb, locked down for weeks, was eerily quiet on a recent Friday morning. Except for the school buses.

Several of those buses passed Romana Siddiqui's home as she hustled her children out the door for school and handed out food and snacks for the day. As stressful as the morning rush can be, many Canadian parents are grateful for it. Through a dangerous second wave of the pandemic, Canada has managed to keep most schools open, most of the time, even in its hardest-hit Covid-19 hot spots.
