Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall created a bit of a stir last week when he wondered aloud just how prepared a Saskatoon high school student would be for the real world if he or she wasn't seriously penalized for handing in a late high school assignment or plagiarizing the work.
We sometimes wonder why our politicians don't come out publicly with their own personal opinions, well this is Exhibit A right here. Wall says something that makes perfect sense and a few NDP supporters from the general public chastise him for what they perceive as him butting his nose in somewhere it doesn't belong. Well, Wall should be entitled to state his opinion on this and he should be well within his right as Premier to act swiftly to try and pressure the school board to rethink a decision that wasn't thought out in the first place.
