Even though this is getting more off-topic, yes, the Ontario school system is crap. I specifically remember my eighth grade in which I had a teacher who couldn't tell a noun from a verb, had to run to the teacher across the hall for our math lessons because he didn't understand it himself, but tought us a whole lot about his version of history (in which everyone got hammered up before doing anything).
I think the schools in general are going this way now, it's a shame.
