I think there is one more different thing:
In Canada, teachers are well paid. they treat teacher as a job and follow the system to do. The good part is no personal issue to involve the daily practice, and the bad part is less passion.
In China, teachers are very interested in promote his or her class in terms of promoting himself, which turns treat some students not well, even very bad, as result of that, those kids lost confidence and affect their development. Teachers are not even aware that they are using students as his promoting tools. I really dislike the way of teacher unfairly treats students. I don't think any parent want their kids being treated like that.

What I see the difference between China and Canada in EDUCATION in school (JK to G12)
In Canada, education means developping a kids to adult, which includs: communication, leadship, handle difficult situation and more, besides learning science and language.
In China, education means only learning science and language, which matches university entry test. Of course, this system is cost less.
As the whole concept is different, the approach will be different for sure. The definition of EDUCATION is different.
We can't simply say which one is better, because it depent on what you are looking for.
In my view, Canada's system will turn your kids becoming his (her) own boss, which means he or she can handle his or her own life easily.
China's system will turn your kids becoming a good employee, with lots of knowledge and follow what boss said.
I want my kids have happy childhood and be able to handle his own life in the future. I do not expect them become some big shots. If they do, that is bonus. So, I stand with Canada's education system.
Come on, do you have children between grade 3 and grade 12 in Canada???? A student of Grade 10 here, his/her 数理化 is equal to student of Grade 8 in China, and more important, their 思维 is so narrow, not flexible enough to solve tough problems, which is tought by Canadian teachers. That becomes a headache of many Chinese parent in Canada, why my kids become more dull in Canada????.
The main purpose of 数理化科目 is to train students having more flexible and open brain, to deal with problems they may face in the future, which is not achieved in Canada 基础教育, however your kids will competite with smart kids from China if they want to have senior positions in big global companies.

什么是基础教育? 难道就是‘数理化英文‘这些科目? 不知大家现在是不是还能记得那些数学公式,物理定理, 化学分子式? 英文就不提了。估计唯一强的就是心算快一些,可我宁可用计算器,slowly but surely.
基础教育我认为不在与知识的深度,而在与知识的广度和学习研究创造力的培养。国内的教育完全是填鸭式,老师教多少,孩子就学到多少,只少不会多。这里的孩子知识面非常广,学习的自主性,自我研究能力,社会活动能力很强。这些能力是受用终身的。大学和研究生教育,国内更是不能比的,要真说起来可以写本论文了,先聊这些了。
加拿大的教育从内容到形式比中国先进
