One thing I LOVE about Ontario is that public school teachers are paid fairly well. (Although it's stagnated a bit, and per student capita funding has dropped at least 10% since Doug Ford.)
Some of the best teachers I've met in Toronto work in some of the roughest schools.
You can get a decent education anywhere in the city for free. A wealthier school might have more field trips and fundraised equipment, but otherwise, it's comparable.
Private schools aren't as much of a thing here as one'd expect from the financial capital of a country. Many higher income families still send their kids to public schools.
In order to maintain this level of equality, we need to maintain public school funding levels.
