There is a lot of tax payer abuse built into the public education sector.
Education in Canada seems to be a provincial affair.
Ontario spends $25 billion / year on public education. Everyone thinks and they want them to believe they are doing it on behalf of the students who after graduation for the most part are not prepared for anything other than 4 more years of university or maybe just taking a year off. The real beneficiaries of the system are the unaccountable and overpaid bureaucracy.
I mention David Thompson often when talking about todays youth who left England at 14 and was the one to map and document what is now Canada. As far as the waters shall flow was him. Died broke of course because that's how it was.

So. . . you'd recommend that today's youth leave school at 14 and go. . . what? Go to sea? Farm? Work in a factory? Drive a truck? Explore. . . someplace?
What would the educators do if they did?
And this is not to say there can't be private academies and universities. Education is a huge industry. Plus it is a trickle up business where everyone has to make more money than the rung below. Just as good as politics with the holidays and all.
There is a big difference in taking auto body at school or working as an apprentice in a shop but the angle I was coming at it from is like how prisons need prisoners and old folks homes need old folks. Schools need students whether it is best for them or not. Organized sport can be done at the community level.
IMO kids would be more well grounded being in the care of their parents or guardians during their formative years. There does seem to be an issue.
Child labour took me places in life wasted lazy summer's could never provide.
True. Who really needs to read anyhow? There's an app for that.
Sure, that worked well... up until we need 2 people to be able to afford homes.
School is now - more than ever - not just a place to 'go learn', it's a place for parents to send their kids to a 'babysitter', for free, for most of the day, until they get off work.
That, and that today current parents are dumb as fucking shit; that doesn't need to be passed onto the future generations.
Well you all burned the bra and demanded equality in the workplace , where did you think it would lead ?
Screw you hunny bunches of cunts. You're one of those fucktard lunatics that puts cast iron in the dishwasher. I can't trust you.

Didn’t the US boycott Cuban everything for like…60 plus consecutive years? In all fairness though, Cuba didn’t have a free trade agreement with America that could be violated by either party…
Trump again repeated Tuesday his erroneous claim that the U.S. is "subsidizing" Canada by $200 billion a year — a claim he has made by calling that the trade deficit with Canada, when in fact U.S. data shows that the trade deficit is around $63 billion, and once energy exports are removed from the equation, the U.S. actually has a goods trading surplus with Canada.
In other words, in the big picture, without counting oil and gas, Americans actually sell more to Canada than Canada sells to the U.S. but…
