An Education Act is a piece of legislation which outlines the
powers and responsibilities of the Ministry of Education, School Boards, and School Principals and Teachers. A Minster of Education is an elected member of the
provincial government, and each province has its own Minister who is appointed by the Premier of the
province. The school system in Canada includes public and private schools.]]> 2023-01-12 03:51:01 UTC https://padlet.com/biebermmh/gjd9j5m6b2wcv8bg/wish/2441732641 biebermmh https://padlet.com/biebermmh/gjd9j5m6b2wcv8bg/wish/2441734932 French Language Schools:

education. Preschools focus more on early learning and academics than daycares and can prepare children for their school years.

Elementary school includes kindergarten and Grades 1 through 6. In Canada, it is mandatory for children to
begin attending school at the age of 6, or Grade 1. The only exceptions to this are British Colombia, Prince Edward
Island, and New Brunswick, where it is mandatory for children to start school at age 5, or Kindergarten.

In some provinces/territories, middle (or junior high) school includes grades 7 and 8, while high school includes grades 9-12. In Quebec, high school
includes grades 7-12.]]> 2023-01-12 04:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/biebermmh/gjd9j5m6b2wcv8bg/wish/2441743823 biebermmh https://padlet.com/biebermmh/gjd9j5m6b2wcv8bg/wish/2441747960 Teachers are responsible for

Students may lose marks for handing in expected to complete written
assignments or prepare for oral presentations by a specific date. Students should write down all assignments and due dates in a day planner to keep track of homework
and ensure work is completed on time. ]]> 2023-01-12 04:17:32 UTC https://padlet.com/biebermmh/gjd9j5m6b2wcv8bg/wish/2441752957 biebermmh https://padlet.com/biebermmh/gjd9j5m6b2wcv8bg/wish/2441754662 The use of cell phones during class time can distract students from learning, and be very disruptive for other students. Most schools expect students to refrain from using their cell phones during class time, and teachers may confiscate phones temporarily if students are not following the school's expectations. If a student is expecting an important phone call, they should let their teacher know ahead of time.]]> 2023-01-12 04:19:45 UTC https://padlet.com/biebermmh/gjd9j5m6b2wcv8bg/wish/2441754662
