According to a national survey of 3,016 Canadian adults conducted from July 26 to 31 by the Angus Reid Institute, 78% agree parents should be informed by their child’s school if this becomes an issue. However, parents with children under 18 years of age in the school system and thus most likely to be affected by this issue, feel more strongly that parents should have a say in their child’s decision, compared to those without school-age children, by a margin of 48% to 41%.
The real issue will be whether school boards adhere to the policy, given the prevailing view of many in the education sector that they know what is better for children than their own parents do.
