What the petition asks
We all saw the disruption cancelling exams had last year. Students should not be at a disadvantage because everyone has had the same experience. Grade boundaries and content cuts can accommodate for it. Think for the future.
Allow exams to go on as planned, maybe with a delay or cut of content. We believe there is no benefit to cancelling exams as seen last year. The argument that online school isn’t enough is weak as everyone had the same experience, everyone is disadvantaged.
