Show Notes

The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) has a problem....well a few problems. But this one is about teachers taking more sick days on average than any other board in the province! But this can't just be teachers getting sick over 20 days a year, so what's fueling this? And how is it affecting the student's education? Host Alex Pierson speaks with Paige McPherson, the Associate director of education policy at the Fraser Institute who helps break down what the possible reasons for this are and if it's truly hurting the future generations' education.
