Haha it seems someone made a canada vs. south africa war topic already

Canada has complete opposites in every  city. You can have one school that's so well funded, it has a hairdressing salon inside the school as part of a university transition program and then my school, halfway across town (population is under 100,000 so its not a gigantic city) my school doesn't even get enough money to buy a few cans of the same color paint to repaint the bathroom stalls when they get written on.

Not saying my school is COMPLETE crap, there's a few good aspects. But our gym equipment is old, falling apart even. Our science wing (hallway, you cant even call it a "wing") half of the time is cold as ice, as are our portable classrooms, ALL the computers are win95 and don't support any of the plugins the curriculum websites use. On top of that, we have a smoke pit with a sign right beside it that says "smoke free zone, no smoking on premesis". The teachers' explanation is that they are not allowed to let students wander the road with cigarettes/pot (which they often just overlook the fact that drug deals go on every day right in front of them) because homeowners near the property complained.

 All that is crap, but what makes it worse is the lack of good teaching staff the school has. Two teachers regularly whack off in their offices during class, one excuses himself to go to the bathroom and do so after about 10 minutes of staring at girls inappropriately and one of the school councellors makes inappropriate sexual innuendos at girls for their entire appointments with him.

I've not gone to many other schools in BC, but if they're all like this, god help us all.

From my understanding they aren't all that different...In some places schools are well funded in others...not so well funded.UnknownSniper65

Pretty much

It's depends on the level of education and the state of which you go/grew up in.

When it comes to Post-Secondary Education the US wins hands down.  

However for things like grade school all the way up untill the end of highschool, it varies where you are.  I would Canada has a much more rounded public education.  The US is far more disparate.  Schools in most inner cities are terrible, and most southern states rank terribly in contrast with northern states or east cost areas.  

For the sake of this argument, I'll say the US has a better education system overall, including post-secondary, however Canada has a far better public school education system compared to a large part of the US.
