HALIFAX — It is “bizarre” how often Nova Scotia schools are closed because of weather, and the number of days lost this year amounts to a crisis, an education expert said Tuesday.
Paul Bennett, director of Schoolhouse Consulting in Halifax, said there has been an average of 12 lost days this school year in the province due to inclement weather, including closures at many boards Tuesday.
“This is unusual. In fact, I dare to say no one else does it. No one does it with the frequency we do it. It’s bizarre,” said Bennett, an education analyst who has written numerous books and reports. “This is without a doubt the most serious crisis of lost school days that this province has ever faced.”
