Well, you've heard the old joke about Canada being a country that works better in practice than in theory, right? Nobody really has it together - every country in the world has a chunk of the population convinced that they're doing it all wrong. Some of them are even right. :)

Education systems are naturally of particular interest to me, especially since, when I tell some Americans I'm a teacher, they mentally lump me in with the people from their own region. The comparison is often not favourable.
