My 5 year old son started SK this year. It's a great school and he seems to really enjoy it so far. I should probably ask this question to the school Principal or his teachers but just curious to know if there are regular tests / exams in each Grade? How do they decide if the kid is ready for the ne...

First of all, sorry if I ask any silly questions. Both my wife and I are first generation immigrants here in Canada, and we didn't attend grade school or high school here.

Received an email from the school board last night that there is a confirmed covid19 case in the school. There seems to be some bogus privacy policy that the school is using to harbor the student and parents name. I want to have an option to sue the school, or the parents if we "knock on wood&q...

... so, are sending their kids to a school on Parliament street for example, with a rough-ish neighbourhood and pretty low ratings. I hear that Order Public school is a really good school, but that seems to be about it for downtown. I also can't believe that every parent that is middle class/upper ...
