I mean, here in Canada public school enrolment is still at a national average of 92% or so, so clearly there's little evidence to suggest a faltering system in Canada.

Even more rural schools are fairly well-equipped now with a normal stream, remedial, advanced and advanced placement which is university equivalent. Obviously Canada's territories suffer and remote area in the provinces but that's always going to exist since you cant staff those areas.

You go back to the 90s and early 2000s before "woke" and total enrolment in Canada in public schools was just sitting at 93%. Really very little change from then to now.

Wokeism and all that stuff has nothing to do with declining public schools. It mostly has to do with respect for teachers, the lack of cultural effort to do their own work (a lot of students in school pretty much just cheat or copy each others work), and the lack of conversation from people with different perspectives.

The left dominates in the schools and that isn't inherently an issue, only solely because it feeds one line of thought. It'd be bad if the right dominated class rooms two, especially since how polarized these political fields are. More than ever before.

Not only that, but whether it be the cities or small towns, public schools are poorly funded and managed. There are some good ones, of course, but there are more bad than good.

I only brought it up because people above seem to think there's some massive decline in enrolment at public schools in Canada and only the poors would send their kids to public school when there's almost no evidence of that with enrolment sitting at 92% of total enrolment and only a small percentage higher back in the days pre "woke"

Problem with homeschooling is that you have to rely on the parents to actually teach the kids and that’s not gonna happen in the majority of households

Especially given the massive rise in dual income families. There's significantly less time to homeschool. This is only going to continue to increase as the middle class continues to disappear.

Public school is relied upon by the majority and I don't see that changing anytime soon and as noted here in Canada it really hasn't and most do actually provide a fairly decent education up here.

Afaik the data doesn't support better outcomes for private schools

Also you have to consider the fact most are coming from well off families and that in itself provides its own advantage. Private school is extremely expensive here. It would be very difficult I feel to accurately judge giving there's quite a few factors at play.

lol @ thinking its better to homeschool kids

Better for kids of highly educated parents, worse for kids coming from a weak socioeconomic background.
