Canadian education has received a lot of criticism in recent years. In response, some schools and school districts have revamped the K-12 curriculum and changed their assessment process. These solutions are hasty actions that are taking our children’s future in a dangerous direction.

In her article, Students Will Keep Learning Less Until We Finally Let Them Fail, Mehrnaz Bassiri, founder and director of MyGradeBooster discusses how the de-standardization of education, cuts in the curriculum and cuts in the standardized provincial exams are leading to students learning less and graduating unprepared to face the challenges of post secondary and workforce.
