It honestly does not make sense to keep diploma exams if students are already taking full-year courses. Teachers evaluate us over months through assignments, tests, labs, and projects, which gives a much more accurate picture of our understanding than one high-stakes exam. Diplomas add unnecessary stress, and one bad day can significantly impact a student’s grade and future opportunities. If full-year assessments already measure learning effectively, diploma exams are redundant and should be cancelled.
Lamees supported: Cancel semester 2 diplomas for Alberta high school studentsThis is the best show. Period. There have only been 3 shows over the course of my life where I couldn't wait for the next episode and where hours were spent discussing plotlines with others. (This is one of the three and the one with the best message, in addition to a great cast.) In my 30s-50s these earlier shows were discussed with coworkers. Now, in my 70s, it's with fellow ponderers across all ages, races, religions, educational background, socioeconomic status, and politics. It's a show for everyone! As a genealogist, I sometimes get glimpses into my ancestors lives. What a gift when this happens. The Way Home show crosses all time boundaries letting characters grow, love, forgive and understand. It's such an important message in today's times when there is so much pain and lack of empathy in society. Please let this show run the course the writers have developed. The message is so much more than a time traveling pond. Thank you
Marlene supported: 📣Help the TV Show 🧭The Way Home🫶🏼 Find Its Home🏠 for A 5th Season🕰️This is my most favorite show in years. I have watched it multiple times and subscribed to Hallmark+ because of it. How could Hallmark prematurely cancel their best show which was designed to be 5 seasons? It has a rating of 8.1/10 on IMDB, and has won a Canadian Audience Choice Award this year when it wasn't originally on the ballot, thanks to the fans adding it as a write-in. I've seen new fans who found the show from Netflix say they've subscribed to Hallmark+ so they could watch Season 3. You aren't just losing fans, you are also losing PAYING fans. I certainly won't be subscribing anymore if you cancel. I wouldn't trust you to allow any future shows to come to their natural end. Please save this show!
Amy supported: 📣Help the TV Show 🧭The Way Home🫶🏼 Find Its Home🏠 for A 5th Season🕰️As a student taking 2 diploma courses, The amount of time missed from the strike is too much to cram for the exam in January. Almost a month of class time was missed, which for some courses, is the length of a topic or unit, or potentially more. Students will be forced to cram the missed work, and classes will be forced to go faster which could lead to topics being glossed over or skipped. Meaning that students will not have the required class time to study for the diploma. This will place more stress on the students who already have their futures at university/college at stakes.
Michael supported: Make January 2026 Alberta Diploma Exams optionalI'm a 12th grade student who spent the past month studying harder than ever before, but - because of my Autism, ADHD, and OCD - the change in routine greatly impacted in my ability to learn. We have been robbed of a whole month of school (a quarter of our semester); we have been doomed from the start. What is the use of taking diplomas that the province has set us up to fail, simply because it's more convenient for them? Why should anyone be punished for practicing standard democracy?
Amanda supported: Make January 2026 Alberta Diploma Exams optionalAs a grade 12 student set to graduate in June of 2026, the strike has set my class back significantly. Diplomas will only worsen our final grade for the semester, and it will effect acceptance into post secondary schools. Three weeks is a lot of time to be learning, and getting set up for diplomas will be incredibly stressful for students. It is crucial that we are able to have a good year despite the time missed, and the cancelation of the diplomas is a huge part of that.
ava supported: Make January 2026 Alberta Diploma Exams optionalAs someone who consistently scores well in this subject, the paper 1 for AA SL was unnecessarily difficult. I am aware that difficult questions need to be given in order to separate the high scorers from the rest. However, in my point of view, it was not the difficulty levels that were the issue. It was time. The test was poorly designed in terms of time allocated per question. It is not possible for students to attempt all questions in this exam under the given time conditions without skipping over/rushing them. I believe that the IB should test students on their mathematical knowledge, and not how well they manage their time under pressure.
