Not shocked Wally doesn't like HIS-tory.
Hint Wally: people in North America and South America before Columbus was written down, stupid white folks just didn't believe it.
Anyway...
In grade 3 my family moved from NB to NFLD. Base classes were about the same - English/Grammar, Math - but things like Social Studies/History was different as it was province focused. And even in public school in the mid 80's, I learned Religion which was a basic run through about the Bible that was age appropriate, but also touched on other religions; Catholic kids got that period to go to another school for Catholic focused education (I hated that class and wanted out so bad...)
We had one period of French a week.
3 years later we move BACK to NB and as ahead as I was in classes in NFLD - especially French - everything went to shit when we got home.
Ironically it was the fact my French was so horrible that became career/life defining. I'd gone from one day a week to every day and was so far behind I never recovered, and I learned to detest the class.
Point is, while it'd be great to have one Country wide, universal education system, that's not going to happen. That would mean pushing subjects on provinces that they'd fight tooth and nail over having to put into the system.
The education system needs to be changed, IMO, but we don't want to put in the work and, more, don't want to pay for the actual resources to change the system and properly teach our kids. Teachers are just "overpaid, glorified babysitters" in the minds of too many people, with HEAVY emphasis on 'babysitters'.
This whole Covid issue proved that.
It also proved, IMO, that I think if parents had to take care of their kids 24/7 at this point in society, they wouldn't have had kids to begin with, or would give them up once they hit age 5ish. Not all, mind you, but a good chunk of them I'm sure.
