“During the pandemic, educators were able to explore these different methods, many of which will continue into the new school year depending on the course. For example, one possible option is that a student is presented with a real world industry/sector challenge by a professional in that area and, using the skills and knowledge gained throughout the course, provides a solution through a presentation or video, etc.
The teacher adds: “This is essentially giving students permission to forgo deadlines and to learn at their own pace since technically, a student can ‘rescue’ a credit at the very last minute before final marks are due by handing in long overdue work that in the past would have earned a zero.” Nobody cherished the experience, but would that many people who did it really argue that they’d be better off never having gone through it?
“They’re competing against a whole bunch of new Canadians who weren’t raised this way,” says Jocelyn Bamford, a Scarborough manufacturing executive and founder of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada.
Pathetic. Do they not understand that Universities and colleges have exams? Other professional organizations too? Absurd way to prep them for the real world….🙄
Only attendance required to graduate, but are looking into rather checking in once and awhile via the internet can qualify as attendance, aaah boy, we have kids now graduating that can't read or write + item is $.70 , have $1.00, how much change do I get ?
Like Canadian education wasn't bad enough!! Can't believe this is conservative government implementing this BS!!
Everyone is a winner b—s
Hm Everybody needs a goal, a target, something to aim for A final exam fills that role And it should be a challenge Lack of focus and a clear goal is an obviously bad idea that a hundred years of psychological data can show
MISTAKE!!!!
