Canada is far more selective than it is here in the U.S. --
they don't operate under the silly notion that any 18 year-old with a heartbeat
and a moderate ability to respond to light and heat
is a candidate for college admissions.

You are kidding of course.
I teach mathematics in a Canadian university.
I would say the average IQ of my students is 100
ie. that of the general public.
That would not be too bad
except for the fact
that because of their dismal high school education
they are unable to do mathematics at the grade 10 level.

Like I said . . . heh-heh.

Where do you teach? Most of the people I worked with were engineering grads from the University of British Columbia, the University of Alberta, and the University of Calgary -- so maybe I'm a little biased towards engineers here.

Having said that, I will point out that most PhD.-level students in the U.S. probably couldn't do 10th-grade mathematics, either.
