Comment Teachers in Toronto (Score 1) 853

I'm not speaking for all school boards in Canada, but two school boards I've noticed in Toronto (York Catholic District School Board, and Toronto District School Board) had very qualified teachers. From my experience going to the YCDSB, my Grade 12 physics teacher was an ex-geo-physicist with post university education. Every other teacher I had during my time in highschool also had at least a Masters degree in their respective field. Also, for the TDSB, I specifically remember my ex-girlfriend's Calculus and Algeo teacher having four different degrees in Mathematics from university. (They complained he was a bit obsessed with math, but such credentials should surely be a good thing). Maybe a little off topic from math, but my English Literature teacher was a straight A arts student from Queens University (A very reputable Canadian university). And had just finished her masters when I was studying under her. (I believe I heard that a masters increases your pay... Maybe that's just specific to the school board.) Anyway, hope this offers some insight. I was actually very happy with my highschool education. I entered post-secondary education with existing knowledge of almost all the first-year courses I took, and have received similar regards from other peers I've known.

It isn't easy being the parent of a six-year-old. However, it's a pretty small price to pay for having somebody around the house who understands computers.
