Ottawa Now - Is it time for schools to ditch the grading system?
September 25, 2025
Agree or Disagree: Today’s school grades are becoming an old-school practice. Perhaps you might not agree, but an Associate Professor at Trent University’s School of Education is taking this stance fairly vocally. Denise Handlarki argues that today’s grading system can be a motivation killer for students, and that a mastery of one’s craft can be encouraged and achieved if grades are removed. She joins Kristy Cameron on today’s Ottawa Now.

It’s a scary time. The air is full of angry words. Hate crimes are on the rise. Now, many would say, is the time to bring in tougher laws against hate speech. The government certainly thinks so. New federal legislation would criminalize the display of certain hate symbols and make it easier to lay charges for spreading hate propaganda.
