Education Levels by Country

[Nicodemus Phaulkon]

Money isn't the only issue, of course, I understand that. But it's a central piece, as that OISE document proves. Teachers like to talk about wages and how low they are, and in this case I am listening to the Ontario Teachers' Association's media and not the media in general or the government.

OISE has NOTHING to do with Teachers. It is the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto. University publications are not part of the bargain, and usually write this sort of claptrap so as to entice their students into further flushing of their RESPs into UofT Tuition toilets. Further, the author of this little "article" is basing his assertions, front and center, on the speeches made by one Jan Ecker, ONTARIO MINISTER OF EDUCATION. This would be the same Provincial government that handles and controls th greater portion of the transfer funds that keep said University of Toronto afloat.

Smelling the Government, yet? Catch that scent of Partisanship?

You can quote righteous indignation if you choose, Skan... and I commiserate with the state of your beloved Leafs. But you need to dig a bit past your biases, here.

Once again, I would suggest you talk directly to an actual TEACHER at a local school. There's not nearly as much political b.s. between the chalkboard and the student-desk.
