The Surrey School District said it would expand hybrid and online learning options in a bid to deal with overcrowding in B.C.'s largest school district. Cris Rowan, an occupational therapist, said there are many downsides to having screens in schools, and that children are being neglected by being allowed too much unsupervised screen time. She said these should be decisions taken in the children's best interests, and not those of school district officials.
