Our Morning Show reporter Darrell Roberts dug into the details of the possible changes to the province's junior high curriculum.

Madison Junior High School's Indoor Percussion Program, led by director Michael Petersen, offers students the opportunity to develop their musical skills through both JV and Varsity groups. Now in its second year, the program provides a space for students to grow, compete, and find their rhythm in a supportive environment.

A proposed change to the provinces' junior high curriculum includes slashing mandatory French instruction time, by nearly two thirds. Students can opt into French courses, but these classes will no longer be mandatory. Maria Mayr is head of Memorial University's department of Modern Languages, Literatures, and Culture, and she joined us in studio today to give her perspective on the changes.

Subjects like music, French, and social studies could soon become optional for junior high students in the province. We hear from the President of the provincial Teacher's Association on the possible changes. Newfoundland and Labrador Teacher's Association President Trent Langdon joined us on the line to share his thoughts.

What if our education system prioritized deep learning over competition? In this episode of Grounded and Soaring, host Terry Dubow speaks with Scott Looney, Head of Hawken School and founder of the Mastery Transcript Consortium, and Bill Sneed, Director of Marin Montessori's Junior High, to explore how Montessori and Mastery-based learning offer a compelling alternative to the traditional sorting machine of grades, GPAs, and standardized tests. Inspired by David Brooks' viral Atlantic article, How the Ivy League Broke America, this conversation dives into the flaws of traditional academic systems and highlights real-world, skills-based approaches that foster true intellectual growth.

It's beginning to look a lot like XMas, in that spirit we present our punk rock holiday show from way back in 2013 Eric Leach and Phil George from the punk band Symbol Six and special guest Santa Claus himself were Mark and Josi's guests on this special holidy episode. Eric and Phil talked about founding their band when they were in Junior High inspired by the legendary early 1980s Los Angeles punk scene, how Izzy Stradlin of Guns N Roses was their roadie for free, how women sometimes cause the most violence at shows, how living with Kim Fowley for 6 months can change someone's life and how hearing your song on Rodney on the ROQ can transform an insecure teenager into a virtual Mick Jagger, and previewed their upcoming 2014 album Dirtyland. Josi was very surprised by the mystery guest, Santa Claus himself! Santa gave his opinion on who was his favorite singer of Black Flag, and how Santa has no tolerance for racists and bigots and is all things to all people. Santa found room on his lap for Josi Kat and Skidrow Studios producer Jeremy and found they were both nice this year so he gave them presents and candy, but you know Josi and her naughty side...she couldn't resist spanking Santa Claus, who returned the favor as well.
