    I was a post-secondary student without an Alberta diploma. Despite having an excellent SAT score, I was required to take an English as a Second Language exam to prove I could speak English, despite having resided in BC and Alberta my entire life. For all four parts (written, spoken, reading comprehension, and listening), the instructors could not imagine why I needed to take the course. I was even sent out of the oral exam with a 100% score after the instructor heard me say three sentences. This requirement is ridiculous and unnecessary and made me feel humiliated.

    Families that choose different learning paths should not be discriminated against by post secondary institutions for not choosing traditional government public schooling.

    Before she could apply at NAIT, my daughter, who did not have an Alberta diploma but excellent SAT scores, had to do all the exams and tests for English as a second language, even though she was born in BC!
