All I can say is that my son did grades 9-11 at a school in one of the top-rated school districts in the States, and had a high B average. Then did grade 12 at an Ontario school, and his average plummeted to a low C. There is a lot of grade inflation in the US because school districts are in fierce competition to place students in prestigious universities.

In Alberta, the Government has provinical exams such as: the PATs (Provinicial Achievement Tests) which are tested in grades 3,6, and 9 covering all subjects and diplomas which happen in grade 12 again in all "30" (grade 12) course that used to be worth 50% and now are worth 30% of our grade, (well that's what they were worth when I graduated in 2018). So growing up these exams were pretty stressful as I'm like Jason and suck at test taking. My parents, boyfriend, and I were talking about how these impact our futures to a certain degree like when my boyfriend graduated in 2014, I think the diplomas were worth 50% so im glad I didn't experience that as they were only worth 30%, but they seriously sucked more than my current technically 3rd year university exams lol.

When I was working in Tokyo, I had staff drawn from universities all over the world, places like Duke, Wharton and Stanford in the U.S.. While their cognitive skills were as good as anyone, I found that graduates from U.S. universities - even the top schools - had appallingly little knowledge of the world (history, geography, cultures, even city names) and their written communication was well below par. What they did know, in excruciating if sometimes mistaken detail, was all about 'Merica and how much better it was than anywhere else on the planet.

In Quebec, the passing grade from elementary to college is 60%. D is the 60s, C is the 70s, B is the 80s, A is the 90s - 100%. The question is the quality of education between Canada and the US. An A may mean 90s to an American but 80s-100 to a Canadian but they may be learning less or what they learn in 10th grade is what we learn in 8th grade. And that is why the US ranks much lower. Having worked with Americans abroad, they generally aren't as knowledgeable even with a university degree than to a Canadian degree holder. To be a teacher, there is no teacher's college in Quebec. You must do the Education program in university for 4 years. And if you want to teach at high school, you must also do a degree in that specialty. To teach in college or university, you need to do at least a Masters in your specialty. University is typically 3 years because we have mandatory college (CEGEP) before university. Some university programs are more than 3 years like Education, Social Work, and Medicine. But I know Quebec's system is unique.

One of the things I noticed was how sports-centered American schools were. The college teams were big, of course, but even high school football was huge. Our schools in Canada do have sports, but they don't take center stage they way they do in the States, where it seemed like things like the arts took second place. The Glee TV show isn't completely wrong there--sports teams got the money. Our universities don't even have sports scholarships, so our really talented athletes end up south of the border where they can get a full ride.

Grade 12 was dropped and so before being able to go to university we went to CEJEP for two years . We were then allowed to apply for university. I did one year of CEJEP ( basically grade 12 and 13 which prepped us for university) then went to college in Ontario. Those who went to university in Ontario had an extra year if they skipped CEJEP I believe.

As a student who attended both countries schools, Canada is so much harder!! I moved to the states and even though I got A’s in Canada they converted to B’s in the States. And my math course was not accepted because it wasn’t specific to Algebra etc. So I ended up in a how to balance a check book math class. The stuff we did in 4th grade. They bumped me up a grade in the States because I was ahead. Canada does a great job getting you ready for post secondary education but in the States many students end up having to take remedial classes because they aren’t prepared especially in math and English. Tuition is ridiculous in the States. I would recommend any American student do two years at your community college then go to university. It saves you money and the classes are the same usually taught by university professors. Watch any of the late night American comedians ask people on the streets geography or something.

The US Constitution assign control over education to the states and states can allow some decisions to local governments so there’s little standardization throughout the USA. I’m a high school teacher in New York State. Usually one doesn’t just have a degree in education. As most teachers are working in elementary schools, they would probably have a degree in elementary education (unless they specialize in something like Art or reading). Middle School & High School teachers would be specialized in mathematics or science. For my Bachelor’s degree, I had a double major in history and social studies education. For my Master’s degree, I only did History (regular straight history - I could’ve done social studies education as well but didn’t).

Therefore, presumably if the American students were given the Canadian tests, the percentile of A's would drop. I wonder if this is a factor in determining the scores in Canada?

I taught her both methods, the old and new, because I looked over the new system and while the claim is it makes high level university/college math easier to do.... most kids aren't going to be needing that level of calculus. Its THE SUCK. All it does is cause problems because now the parents have to decipher the stupidity that is Common Core in order to help thier kids. Can you imagine from a child's perspective- " My parents dont even understand this, how am I ever going to learn it?" Its so demoralizing.

The reason Catholic schools are publicly-funded in the provinces of Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta is because such denominational schools were embedded into Section 93 of the Constitution Act (1867) which guarantees funding for religious-based separate schools provided the separate schools were established by law prior to the province joining Confederation. This was reaffirmed in Section 29 of the Charter. This provision did not apply to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, British Columbia, and Prince Edward Island, since those provinces did not provide a legal guarantee for separate schools prior to Confederation. Due to our joint French and English history, Catholic schools were created to appease the French minority in the select anglophone provinces pre-1867. Quebec got rid of Catholic schools during the 1990s, but it required a constitutional amendment and was borne from a resentment against Catholicism that spawned during the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s. Ontario, meanwhile, has faced heavy resistance to completely secularize its education.

My boyfriend completed is high school in Quebec and, when he moved in the USA with his family, he (to his great despair) had to do an additional high school year. So he had to pass an English exam by the end of the year and, unexpectedly, he passed it with no problem -- even though a lot of his friends struggled to pass it. We're French. English is our second language -- and he nailed the test better than US citzens. 🤣 Also, back in Quebec, he was in the "easy" math class for his last year, since science wasn't his forte -- and he told me that the math he took there was an equivalent of our second year of high school. 😐🤷♀️

I was curious also about that, because I've always heard the Canadian education system is better rounded, but then these score comparisons make it seem as if there's a harsher grading system (but I don't think that's really a good indicator of the information taught in classes. . But even my brother was learning mathematics in grade 2 that I was taught in grade 4, and i was only 4 years ahead of him.

You can't compare average education difficulty - and how it relates to average intelligence being obtained from the education system - by solely comparing what grade level he percentages equate to.

We went Kindergarten - 6th Grade which was called Elementary Schools. 7-9 was Junior High. 10-12 was High School and we were called Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. I now live in Canada (married to a Canadian) I've been here almost 15 years and do have Canadian Citizenship as well. I have been asked many...many times about the grade levels and the grades. Really nice to hear you 2 break it down. *Thank you* I went to a State funded University but always called it "my colleges days" It was 4 years and there also, they use the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior wherein you eventually go into your masters and doctorates. That does seem confusing to some Canadians as I have had to explain it several times. Thanks Guys!!!!! Love watching your videos!

When I was in high school back in the late 80’s-early 90’s in Ontario, we had grade 13. Basically, to qualify for University admission, you needed to earn 6 Ontario Academic Credits, which you did in Grade 13. So those who chose not to go to University would usually graduate out of grade 12 and those planning to attend University would graduate out of grade 13. I was so thankful for that extra year of maturity! I was 19 when I started University, whereas my son (an October baby) will be 17.
