If Quebec is a seperate nation then we do not have to learn French. I am a student in BC I think all the provinces/territories should become the United Nations of Canada, because then we can one up the United States of America. One of the main problems with Quebec becoming a 'nation' is that the first nations (if that is pollitically correct) will want to become a 'nation'. I think Quebec should leave Canada, because then the west can quit Canada and stop funding the East

What advantage will the portfolio grant me. I talked to several business owners if they thought portfolio would help me get a better job and they said no, they would just think of it as a really long resume, and if they were giving it they would throw it in the trash along with the rest of the resumes, that they didn't like. Be more specific: what do you mean by the arts? The first assignment is to look at and interpret a piece of art or a design. The closest assignment that comes to a science is the information technology assignment. Also there is no assignments reffering to math or any other science. And there is no assignments reffering to history, geography, or foreign languages. As an example of how confussing the Aspects are: Aspect 2.1 Criterea #5 Demonstrates that you have participated cooperatively and respectfully. How are you supposed to demonstrate this I would assume you get a note signed by the event organizer. Aspect 3.1 Criterea #1 Describes your transition plan in a concise format. What if you do not know what you are going to do after school many students are not on the same schedule as the school. There is no class time for this huge project. geoffrey have you looked at the portfolio and how huge it is. If you have not seen the assignments don't comment on it. I could do it in 1 year if it was the only thing I was working on. The principle at the school that I used to go to said that the portfolio will make us students better people. My dad took offence at this because he grew up in Ontario and was in school all the way up to grade 13 and post-secondary, and he is not considered a better person.

I am a grade 12 student in BC so the portfolio is optional this year. I am not doing it. When we were handed the portfolio assignment in grade 10, we were given a stack of papers (the assignments and requirements) and a grade 10 course (Personal Planning 10). I discovered that nobody really knew what was required to pass the portfolio. Each of the different teachers and councillers (and the official BC grad website) that I asked told me different things. I found the portfolio to be lots of work on top all my high school courses. Also in the potfolio there is way to much emphasise on the arts. (I am a science type guy). The portfolio is very poorly designed and I think if high school students should do it that the goverment should revise and edit it. I am very firmly against the grad portfolio unless some major changes happen to it.
