POLL: Will you be sending your kids back to class when schools in B.C. partially reopen June 1?

For the last few weeks of the 2019-20 school year, parents have a choice of returning their students to the classroom for the first time in two months.

The B.C. Government announced today, May 15, they would resume classes on a part-time basis for any parents who wish. Everyone still has the option of staying home and resuming instructions online. 

So we're curious what you're going to do. Let us know in the comments below why you are making that decision. Is it time to return? Is there no point for just a few weeks? Are you getting what you need from home?
