On Monday, Grade 12 students across the
province started writing their government ex-
aminations. The subject of some controversy,
the fact that the exams account for 50% of the
year’s grade has been criticized by students
and teachers alike.

For todays question, I visited Carson Graham
Secondary School to ask:

‘‘How was the
government exam?”

It wasn’t that hard. Our

.. teachers had us well

prepared. I’m pretty
‘nervous about the history

“exam. My friends and I

have been studying hard.

On the English exam, |
found that I ran out of
time, although =the
questions were not really
difficult. I think history

‘will be hard. I think these

‘exams should only

account for 20 - 25% of
your mark. IT feel under

. quite a bit of pressure and

so do other students.

Phil Chard
North Vancouver

I have been working
hard to prepare for the
exams. The English test
was surprisingly easy.
Although our teacher did
not know what the
questions would be, they
did prepare us. | think it is
unfair that one half of
your year's grade is
decided in three hours.

1 think the exams are
fair in some ways,
although maybe they

40% of your gradc. | have
to thank our teachers for
helping us get ready 1

questions hard.

much pressure | felt
confident 1 would do OK
The government cxams
should not count for 50%

25%.

WEST VANCOUVER

municipality needs bed and

By a narrow margin, coun-
cil defeated a motion Mon-

Pressing for - approval,
Ald. Diana Hutchinson said,
“We should think of the
global community on this,
and since it’s going on
already in some places I
know about (in West Van), to
be safe, I am in favor of it.”’

Alderman David Finlay
countered by saying, ‘‘the
