As an ex-Montrealer I can tell you that the system changed many years ago.
Now, after kids finish 11th grade they must go to a junior college to study
for 2 years before going on to university. So, in effect, they study up
until the end of the 13th grade prior to university!! I'm glad I finished a
million years ago under the old system because I hated school, and here I
am, a T-E-A-C-H-E-R!!! That's what you call "just desserts".
