Why it’s time to get rid of grades from our schools
There are many problems in our educational system that will take a great deal of energy, ingenuity, and money to fix. But there is one policy change we could make that would immediately garner better results for students: it is time to end grading in schools.
Grades are so much a part of our education system that they feel inevitable. But several years ago, at the Trent School of Education where I am a faculty member, we did away with grades for our Bachelor of Education students. The result? Far better quality of work and learning. Such change doesn’t have to be limited to the university either. It can be this way in all levels of schooling, and it is well past time.
As soon as the group arrives at the hospital gates, they loudly declare that anyone in the queue without a South African ID must form a new line.
South Africans can stay for treatment, but foreigners will not be allowed in unless they can show insurance or medical visas.
Patient by patient, the group check documents and decide who goes in and who is turned away.
Transport Canada scaled back its summertime surveillance of the Arctic this year for pollution, endangered whale protection and marine safety, CBC News has learned.
The decision to limit overflights comes at a time of increased political and national security attention on the region and five years after the department promised to deploy a drone for heightened vigilance.
Kneecap are to take legal action following comments made by a Canadian MP after the rap trio was barred from entering the country.

This is shocking beyond belief, British police officers force their way into a lady’s home without a warrant to seize a young girls phone.
Apparently the young girl had viewed a post on social media.
The police are a national embarrassment and these officers should be ashamed. pic.twitter.com/0so23lRRxw

Continuing in that divisive, virtue-signalling tradition of the Trudeau Government, the Carney-appointed Attorney-General (who, appropriately enough, was Justin’s disastrous immigration minister) has asked the Supreme Court of Canada to change the Constitution of Canada to limit the use of the notwithstanding clause.
US President Donald Trump hailed the conservative activist Charlie Kirk as a “great American hero” and “martyr” during a speech to tens of thousands of mourners at a memorial service in Arizona.
Trump was the headline speaker at the packed event on Sunday, which saw top officials from his administration, including Vice-President JD Vance, praise Kirk’s political legacy after he was shot dead on 10 September.
Kirk’s wife, Erika, delivered a tearful speech at the State Farm Stadium near Phoenix, in which she said she had forgiven her husband’s alleged killer.

France and Saudi Arabia hope to use this year’s gathering of world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly and the increasingly horrific war in the Gaza Strip to inject new urgency into the quest for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Those efforts include a new road map for eventual Palestinian statehood in territories Israel seized in the 1967 Mideast war, and moves by several Western countries to join a global majority in recognizing such a state before it has been established.
This should be fun.
Cripes. @fancypants_s https://t.co/ojd3KkS5vD

Church leaders are deeply concerned about supporters of the far-right agitator Tommy Robinson co-opting the Christian faith and symbols including the Cross.
In an open letter, senior figures representing a spread of denominations warned against the “misuse of Christianity”.
The signatories include Lord Williams of Oystermouth, a former Archbishop of Canterbury; the Right Rev Philip Mounstephen, Bishop of Winchester; Gavin Calver, chief executive of the Evangelical Alliance, and Bishop Mike Royal, general secretary of Churches Together in England.
Oh Brother. It’s not as if these woke “Christians” were doing anything useful with it.

A Calgary judge knocked two years off a 10-year sentence he would have given a man who terrorized and repeatedly sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl he met when he was 25 because the offender is Indigenous.
Did the judge consult the 12 year old victim?
