There isn't enough choice in the system. Reality Today's public education system in B.C. offers far more choice to students than did the system of 20 years ago. The public school system doesn't prepare kids for the world of work. The fact is that Canada hasn't enough jobs for the qualified people who need them. Tens of thousands of the unemployed are vastly overqualified for the jobs they are now seeking as the economy rejects their skills and experience.
Canadian workers are the most productive in the world.
They don't want change. Reality Nothing could be further from the truth. In B.C., and in Canada generally, teachers are at the leading edge of educational change. In B.C., teachers took the initiative in producing the current primary program, in implementing the K-7 science, math and career and personal planning program, and in pursuing many other changes. Thousands of teachers spend countless hours of volunteer time teaching other teachers.
