I think the more we do in the world of digital, the more we would help that situation. If you have an access code, for example, you could have access to a classroom. So a science teacher might find a remedial learning opportunity if the language skills aren't appropriate for the actual science material. They can digitally use their access codes, go back a few grades, and help the kid come up to speed. But understand that very few classrooms in Canada are equipped to go fully digital, that is, without textbooks. I wish they were; it would be fantastic. As educational publishers, we've invested millions, collectively, to get ready. The K to 12 sector is struggling to finance this. There are issues of equity, access, and hardware.
