Sheesh. Please try to stay somewhat in touch with reality. Where exactly are those schools going to get the books from? They were distributed to the students prior to spring break so the schools no longer have custody of them. So you would suggest that the schools should, in the middle of this crisis, be taking the time to order books for those students who buried their heads in the sand?

The students had the chance to take the books and belongings with them when they left for spring break
prior to the school closures though we all knew those closures were coming save for those benighted fools in a corner of lalaland where they ship daylight in by muletrain. Ghod knows, the announcements from the provincial health officer, premier, leader of the opposition, etc. were getting enough play in the media that missing them was very hard to do. Even such news items—prior to spring break—such as Justin Trudeau who is the prime minister of Canada going into self-isolation when his wife tested positive for covid19 might have given a subtle hint that this is a very serious situation.
