One good thing about Ontario schools is that they do require one to learn how to spell correctly. Judging from what you wrote, spelling is clearly not an issue in the Albertan school system.

My only experience with Ontario schools was in 1970-72, and at that time, I found them to be behind New Brunswick.

The schools in Eastern Ontario tend to fare well.
There CAN be a difference,interprovincially,between school curricla...so,for instance,your child might not have covered,in grade five,what the grade fives here cover.
It's the moving part,leaving friends and family behind part that is often hardest on kids.They generally adapt well, and teachers are aware of the pressures on "new" kids, and respond accaordingly.
Certainly,it'd be a good idea to meet with your children's new teachers,bring copies of past report cards, and be open about the areas of strength and weakness your children have.

The curriculum is pretty left leaning though. But that sort of its in with the province these days. Catholic schools are probably more on the ball here.

No wonder the world is in the state it's in, with your obvious lack of education. I don't know what the point of your original post was, but your communication and social skills are so lacking, it hardly matters.
By the way, in case any of you are wondering why I said that I found the schools in Ontario to be behind NB in the 70s, that's because when my family moved there, we all had to skip a grade to avoid repeating the same stuff we'd learned in NB. It was a simple statement of fact, not some oddly disguised way of saying I don't like people from Ontario.

Between you and tankar I think you must have a problem with someone asking a simple question. If spelling and grammer are that hellfire important to you I guess you should join Mensa. I would not miss your vile bile.
I forgot to stress your admited antiqueted and very limited experience with the topic you are professing on.
Oh ya!~ wtevr! ....

I have no problem with someone asking a simple question, but if you don't think that the "liberal" comment was anything other than an ignorant dig on the part of a nut, then you need more schooling than you're receiving now.
