Education

How do people educate their young?

Americans educate their children by sending them to school or teaching them at home by home schooling. In Canada education is compulsory up to the age 16 in every province in Canada, except for Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick, where the compulsory age is 18, or as soon as a high school diploma has been achieved. In some provinces early leaving exemptions can be granted under certain circumstances at 14. Canada generally has 190 (180 in Quebec) school days.

What do children learn at home or school?

Canada's elementary and secondary schools follow a government curriculum and employ government certified teachers, ensuring a high level of quality and a focus on individual student needs. In America children learn by doing their school work and by studying outside of school.
