Episode 168: School violence continues to escalate

Violence in schools has been a regular talking point in Ontario's education system - and it has reached a boiling point at some London schools.

Craig Smith - the President of ETFO in Thames Valley - joins the podcast to talk about what's happening W. Sherwood Fox School in the south end of the city.

There's worries about the safety of staff and students, and some in the school community have called this school year "the most challenging and traumatizing that we have
seen."

Smith discusses how what's happening there is similar to other schools in the system, and what needs to be done to make significant change.
