Season 1 Episode 7: Grade 13

Students have missed many weeks of school over the past few years.

Is there a responsible way to do this that ensure streaming and other biased assessments don’t discriminately funnel students in one direction or the other? Why is this a viable, respectable route and why do we need to promote skilled work in trades in Ontario?
