The worry I have is that kids not being exposed to it until grade 10 means they won't have time to get used to it before the grades actually matter for getting into university.

You have a child who spends 10 grades "Meeting expectations" for math then end up with a B- on their Grade 10 Math final.

This isn’t the first time BC has done this. There were only ‘meeting, below and above’ for K-7 from the early 70s into the 80s, and the scholarship examinations in grade 12 kept the old 9 point scale.

Meanwhile, UBC was on the 1st class, 2nd class, pass British system until not that long ago.
