    The U.S. boycott remains strong. Why many Canadians are digging in their heels

    Low Literacy Levels Among U.S. Adults Could Be Costing The Economy $2.2 Trillion A Year

    Maybe. But Canada's Centre for Dyslexia claim that 50% of prison inmates and 80% of the homeless are dyslexic. Those are big numbers. Dyslexia has been studied by every university everywhere. However sadly this knowledge has not always ( or not often) reached the primary division of our local...

    Kids want to know about sex. We wanted to know about sex. Kids today want to know about sex. Waiting to teach sex ed until 12 is way to late. 60 years ago we learned from reading Peyton Place. Today its porn videos. Because kids want to know.

    Your honest opinion about sex ed

    Education in America

    You are right. I forgot how little some states pay their teachers as opposed to Canadian provinces. But the premise is the same. No pay for work not done merely help in budgeting.

    Education in America
