John Black, some how asking for an equal opportunity to all people of whom were in grade 12 before us, some how makes us special "snowflakes"? Have you yet to realize that the majority of grade 12's have extra curricular activities as well as part time jobs and most likely won't have the time to prepare for the exams. Unlike other people who were in grade 12, we don't have a week to study. Likewise, about being employed in the private sector, how are we expected to have grades equal to the previous grade twelves if we're clearly not being given an equal amount of time to prepare; therefore, we will not be getting these "private sector" jobs because we won't have as good of grades to get into many post secondary schools. Okay buddy, so some how we're supposed to have a week less to be prepared and "still remain effective" compared to previous grade twelves, give me a break!

Student section need time aside from all of their other classes to study for such a large exam. There is not enough time in a day to complete homework for other classes, study for this exam, go to school, eat and sleep. Please reinstate exam week. It also helpful for students to have a break between semesters to get reorganized and de-stress from a difficult semester!

Yeah it is stressful because not only am I trying to do well in school, but I also have a job and I think applying to university is very important and I want to do as well as I can on this provincial so I can have a high English mark. Also I think as you grow older and mature you are able to deal with stress better but as a teenager this time in our lives is one of the hardest experiences we've had to deal with so far. Not to mention, just because we have an exam break like every previous year did, doesn't mean we're "cruising" through Grade 12.

This is crucial for Gr.12 students to have sufficient time to prepare for the exams.

Arezou Amouzandeh you think grade 12 is stressful? Try university........ Or any non deadbeat job LOL! School is setting us up to fail if they cater to the students whims. I would much rather be a little stressed out now and rich later instead of cruising through grade 12 and falling on my face in the real world.

I'm sorry that you feel that way and that you can't find it in yourself to sympathize with people who are having a hard time. Even though life isn't always going to work out in our favour, it doesn't mean we can't try to change it. I know many Grade 12s, myself included, will continue to push for a future that is just and fair no matter what the situation.

I am sorry that this exam week is too stressful for these unfortunate grade 12 snowflakes. These students need to understand how to manage stress and still remain effective. In the private sector no employer will provide you with a week off just because your work is too stressful. So get out of here with the stress argument this is how the world works it isnt always in your favour.
