So... I wouldn't say the Alberta education was world class or anything
A couple arts students who have a difficult time in a philosophy class does not indicate that Alberta has a poor education system. Not everyone is going to excel at every subject, people certainly have their strengths and weaknesses.

Sure, some art students may struggle at certain courses that say, engineering students find easy. However, there are some engineers who can't write a paper, let alone a proper sentence to save their lives. Not everyone is perfect in every subject, but that doesn't in any way say that Alberta has a poor education system.
