Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today we are having a theme day on education. One of the challenges our students are facing today has to do with social passing.
A few of my constituents, as of late, have brought up the concerns of their children dealing with social passing. Many times our students, even though they are not prepared for the grade, are put in. They are just very concerned that we are setting up our students for failure.
They look back on when they used to go to school and how they had to work hard, study hard in order to pass the grades. If they didn’t do that work, then they were held back, which made them try even harder. That’s what they would like to see for their children. They want this government to review the policies we have put in place for social passing. That way we can encourage our students and make them study hard. That way when they graduate, they can go to college at the right grade level, and the same with university. Thank you.
