Yes the Canadian school system is good, and ranked highly. But it doesn't change the fact that the current curriculum doesn't do a great job preparing the students for life. There's not enough life finance education, and when there is, not enough emphasis on it.
I have no stats to back it up, but our generation was the one of the participation awards. I do not agree with that, and studies have shown that it's not always great and conditions kids to go for the award rather than excellence, and it hurts those who did excel as their achievements are diminished.

Hahaha. I don't mean it's necessary for physical punishment for kids. But the idea is to actually go harsh when it's appropriate.
IRL nothing is fair. They are not going to be chill if you show up at work and suck at it. Maybe some company whose owner/leader share similar ideology, but for any competent company, they aren't going to be nice to you when you can't get the job done. And then the kids are there for a rough awakening.
We don't teach our kids to cope with difficulties. Of course they are not going to be prepared for the real world.
Going back to what 68 said that people couldn't even afford condo at today's pricing. I don't agree with that. There are plenty of things one can do if buying their own place is the goal. Our parents had to endure double digit interest rates. Sure, the RE was cheaper back then, but the wage were shit and rate were super high.
Each generation face their own difficulties. But our education system is getting to a point where kids today would do 2 things when they face difficulties:
1. Complain, hoping that whoever they complain to would ultimately cave in and go easy on them somehow.
2. Give up, just not giving a shit anymore.
This is not how things should be.
