^ is one of the many reasons my parents took us to the states....oh and the fact that schools are basically a joke now...i remember missing 2 months in 8th grade because teachers were on strike...thats one union that they need to kill off FAST...not like the kids are being up there anyways...down here teaches make nothing past 30k american...and thats a very nice salary...most of em make about 20k...course our wonderful governor is killing even more funding this year (he's pro-education tho) so i know of a few very good teachers that left this year because they just needed to make more money to support their kids...good thing i graduated last year...but i have a younger brother facing this upcoming epidemic for two more years :\...sounds like we've got the opposite problem of canada...lol....i went off on a tangent here, but i guess it was a little venting....
