Petition For Option 4







 Would you all please help us sign this petition please? http://chng.it/kb52Ktvj


I feel that 3000 plus students who chose Option 4 shouldn't get their reports marked in such a rubbish way, especially when the parents are doing all the work. 


Especially when we found out that a student, who was originally in Option 4, went back for just 5 days, and got their report marked. (But the report was everything the parent had done and submitted online. ) 


We called the school and school board about this matter (before knowing about the student who went back for 5 days) and they told us they can't grade those in Option 4. Perhaps, if they have even bothered to check what is submitted online, they would be able to do so. 


After we found out, we left more voice mails with the school board, but got no replies.


3000 plus students who chose Option 4 - that is equivalent to 7 public schools. 


And not all who chose Option 4 are immunocompromised. 


A lot of families who chose Option 4 are doing their part so as to not overburden the already severely understaffed schools. (Grade K to 3 kids in Vancouver are not required to wear masks.)


The school told us that they will write the report for our child and we will get it in a couple of weeks. But what about the other 3000 plus kids? What about their reports?


If this is "Just how the way things are.", would you want to help change it?
