Cause if you are then I disagree. Your education, although longer than average, is basic and is currently producing too many graduates then there are positions. Your skills are easily transferable and teachable.
This is an example of the exact entitlement that is the cause of my frustration with teachers.

I'm not going to debate the whole post, or even the point of the post, cause, while I don't agree, I could see how people would feel this way, and a balance in the debate might be in the middle. I just want to comment on the bolded part, as that could alter the point of the post.
At current levels, yes there are more graduates than positions. However, classrooms are overcrowded, and almost all specialty teachers have been eliminated. Especially those for gifted students, who have long been ignored and left behind by a failing system. Imagine if we had a whole new generation of properly taught geniuses to help us out! But I digress.
For a system that we could be proud of, a system that was in the top ten or even fifteen in the world, which I think people would largely agree, Canada/Alberta should be included in, that level of graduates would probably be in line with our needs.
