Debating the value of exams

Published: Oct. 21, 2020, 4:10 a.m.

Amid an academic year unlike any other, some school boards in Ontario are opting to cancel exams entirely this year. We ask Grade 12 students Luca DiPietr and Bridget Salamon to debate whether or not it's time to ditch the exam. We also speak with Joel Westheimer, a professor with the University of Ottawa's faculty of education, and Richelle Marynowski, from the University of Lethbridge.
