Steve Yee is prinicpal of Oakwood Collegiate, which has eliminated "applied" level courses for Grade 9 students this year. The school itself is forging new ground as the first in the Toronto District School Board to eliminate all applied-level courses for its youngest pupils. The move, which affects English, math, science, geography and French, has implications for many Grade 9 students. The school will review plans for Grade 10 applied courses later in the year. Oakwood has taken extra steps to support students who in previous years might have enrolled in applied courses.
