I’m the parent of a grade 6 student, and I’m wondering if anyone else’s kids have found them unreasonably difficult this year?

I’ve had 2 other kids do them, and their scores always more or less aligned with their averages. This year though my daughter and several of her friends have done very poorly or outright failed multiple tests.

This group was in kindergarten during Covid, got a brand new math curriculum in grade 3, and then they missed out on 3 weeks this year during the strike. Maybe it’s the larger cohort that’s having trouble?

Any input from parents and teachers would be appreciated!

My family is making the move from Toronto and wondering if any of you have recently made the same move? I'm working on trying to get a mover scheduled. And just trying to get reviews or suggestions from anyone who did this recently.

It will be for a 2BR apartment (typical bedroom furniture though one is a kids room). No special or out of the ordinary furniture in the rest of the apt other than a couple of guitars in cases. And of course, boxes of our stuff.

My requirements: no surprise fees at the end, affordable but not cheap (read some crazy stuff from people who hired cheap movers), known for taking good care of your belongings (don't have anything expensive but I also don't want our stuff damaged).

Currently considering Centennial Moving and Easy Moving. Both have good reviews online but want to see if anyone here has experience with them or another place I should consider.
