Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from J.N.M. v. A.T., 2018 ONCJ 585 (CanLII):
[44] The ability of a parent to assist the child with homework and the degree to which the parent can participate in the child’s educational program is an important factor for the court to consider in determining school placement. See: Madore v. Babuder, 2018 ONSC 4817.
[45] The status quo -- and avoiding reckless creation of a new status quo -- are important considerations on a temporary school placement motion. See: Cosentino v. Cosentino, 2016 ONSC 5621.
[46] In Anderson v. McIntosh- Anderson [2018] ONSC 4688, the court found no compelling reason to change the children’s school when they had been in a settled and stable school environment.
