“When the past no longer illuminates the future, the spirit walks in darkness” – Alexis de Tocqueville I recently joined the local library’s 10am crew, literary loyalists who form a small crowd around the entrance before the grand opening.

Starting in the 2023-2024 school year, students from kindergarten to Grade 9 in British Columbia schools will no longer receive letter grades. Instead, there will be a four-point scale that includes “Emerging”, “Developing”, “Proficient”, and “Extending” – along with “descriptive feedback”.
