If a passing grade was 50 or 55%, then, what you are really saying is that you are comfortable with students not knowing 45-50% of the curriculum. Anytime we look to university professors for pedagogical leadership we fail. While brilliant, most professors run extremely poor learning environments and fail miserably when it comes to differentiated instruction, assistive technology, and, often, simple marking protocol. If the purpose of education is to have everyone attend and pass university courses, fine, ask professors what they require. However, the vast majority of students don’t go to university. Education provides a lot more than memorization skills to satisfy math prof protocols.

Excellent letter. If refusing to meet with, or even answer, concerns of people like Dr. Tran-Davies and Dr. Bowman is indicative of the move to assurance over accountability, then I don’t think that there’s much in it for the parents and children of this province. Keep up the good work.

I would like to mention that now a days students are slave of technology. They depend on IPad, gadgets and computers. If you ask them what is 9×9 they needs few seconds to give you corrdct answers.
In my opinion focis on memorization rather tha technology. I remember we always memories tables and give the answer without even thinking.
Please do not make our kids technology slave.
I am university teacher and IT person but I always used technology as a tool to save my time but never depend on it.
Let me know if you need any suggestion or strategy to improve students math skills
