Exams becoming a thing of the past for Ontario high school students

Ontario’s Ministry of Education has confirmed that high school students across the province are technically no longer required to write exams to pass and graduate.

WTF?
I recall some of my university courses were 100% final exam. Are we giving out school credits as participation trophies now?

I'm a Generation X guy. Kids today are massive pussies... and cowards. Buncha zombie drones that would rather look down at their phones than up into a persons' eyes. Can't do or go anywhere without their mommies either. Kids these days...

I sorta agree, however sometimes looking into certain idiots eyes makes them think(if they can think that is) that you are challenging them in some way.

I don't mean eye contact like a Hagler/Hearns staredown. It's nice when someone at least looks in your general direction while they talk to you.

There are times you feel like teaching kids "the old fashioned way"

Apparently Taylor Swift Ticket trauma is now a thing among kids...

Taylor Swift Tour 2023: Fans Left 'Traumatized' After Ticket-Selling Fiasco

And for those who did get tickets:

Some TikTokers who bought Taylor Swift tickets say they have 'survivor's guilt.' A psychologist says 'kids don't really know what these phrases mean.

What it actually means, Greenberg explains, is "when you have witnessed other people experience trauma and somehow you were able to escape it, and they were not." And trauma means something life-or-death serious. "We're talking about somebody in a car accident, and your friend or mother doesn't survive, but you do. Or it could be your freshman year in college and you leave a party but your friend stays and gets sexually assaulted … Or you survive a mass shooting."

And not the fact that you got fucking tickets to a concert.

Final exams don't really paint the most reliable picture about pupils. Plus if they get leaked, they are pretty much worthless. Judge kids on a mix of your weekly judgement and monthly tests, and you get a better picture.
