As a 'Murican I was told that Canada funds their schools and teachers much better than we do here in the US. While there are underfunded school systems here it sound like your paid far below average than our teachers. My relative was a choir director/music teacher at the middle school/high school and while she's not wealthy by any means she's got a full retirement pension after less than 20 years, sometimes only doing a few classes a day.
Quebec is kind of an anomaly. They have a completely different high school/post-secondary system than the rest of North America. Tuition tends to be cheaper.
On the flip side, wages also tend to be lower. It's kind of a trap as you’re trained in your French mother tongue, but also only have skills that are useful in a closed, small, socialist market.
The Quebecois can escape, but it involves leaving their culture for the mostly unilingual rest of the continent. And most bilingual work is going to be in the federal civil service or academia, which is really frying pan/fire.
Teachers in English Canada are paid much better AFAIK. They can max out around 100k pretty quickly with some seniority & skill upgrading. The problem is that the working conditions are similarly atrocious. And tons of diversity are being poured even into the bougiest of schools daily.
Quebec is... Hmm... There's no real USA equivalent. They've got the politics of California, the pride of Texas, and the attitude of New York... And the economy of Rhode Island... And the legal power over the rest of the country of mid-tier-court judges in Hawaii.

It's Quebec, not Canada
