Show Notes
Ontario is ramping up its education game by adding 1,000 new teachers to the roster, but some are questioning if it's enough to address the needs of all students. Alex Pierson chats with Paul Bennett, Director of the Schoolhouse Institute. His latest book is called ''The State Of The System: A Reality Check Of Canada's Schools.''
