View descriptionShare
 

Pop quiz, everyone! If you were a student in today’s Ontario high school, how much is attendance worth to you? Better yet, if you weren’t attending class, do you know how much that could cost you down the line? The answer: A lot more than yesterday. That’s because Ontario’s high-schoolers will soon be graded on their attendance records, as well as their overall participation in the classroom. We dig deeper with Rebecca Greaves, an Educational Consultant and CEO of The Parent Advocate. They are a leading educational consulting firm based in Toronto. Meantime, Ontario Premier Doug Ford is responding to new data from the City of Ottawa, which shows that speeding has increased in the months following the speed camera purge. CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent delivers the details in Hour 1. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
