Thank you for asking me that question.
I'd like to say that I know very few teachers who are in it for the vacation.
But the vicious circle of which you speak is there, and that's one of the reasons we keep advocating for funding, resources, and materials to be put into education. We look at education as an investment in our country, so we know in the teaching profession that we need to have those resources in the classroom, and they will certainly help those children. If they don't help their parents, at least they can help the children succeed in life and go on to post-secondary education and maybe get a degree, because drop-out rates are also connected to socio-economic factors.
We're always vying for dollars in education all across the country, but we hope that governments will certainly see it as an investment. We continue to advocate for that.
