    Could you explain the contrast? On its face, bringing back cursive seems totally compatible with removing letter grades.

      I mean in the sense that the BC curriculum is making a fairly radical change from what most of us are used to compared to Ontario making cursive mandatory again in a move towards traditionalism.

        It’s not as though Ontario has better school outcomes than BC, but overall Canada does well as compared to other countries.

        Checking out the most recent scores (preCOVID) in OECD PISA high school testing in science and math, Canadian students outperformed all G7 countries except Japan.
