In Tackling the Debate, Our Kids contributors, parents, students, educators, activists and experts argue their side of the hottest educational, camp and parenting issues.
Does the government know best when it comes to educating our children?
Peter Cowley, Fraser Institute director of school performance studies, and Annie Kidder, executive director of People for Education, debated whether government-run schools play a pivotal role in protecting democracy, as part of the Fraser Institute’s “Behind the Spin” speaker series.
Our Kids live-tweeted their discussion (below), which explored whether or not alternatives to Canada’s public school system could do a better job of educating our children and supporting a democratic society.
