text: Last week we heard about how half of Ontario's students weren't making the grade on math and now this.  When is Wynne's government going to learn.  People earning $10/hour are partly to blame themselves. They should have made better life choices, got an education and put in the proverbial '10,000 hours' significantly increasing their value above $10/hour.  As for the government side on this, how about 
  
  1. reforming those math curricula, 
  2. holding students accountable through standardized testing, 
  3. implementing standardized tests for those teaching it along with licencing specific to teaching math, 
  4. implementing a Teaching College Admission Test (TCAT) modelled on the MCAT, LSAT, etc, to assure that new teachers know their stuff before we subsidize their time at teacher's college, and
  5. working with the feds to revise EI so that it is truly insurance with premiums adjusted for individual risk factors (education, claims history, etc.).
