I guess that Academy doesn't do reference or background checks before hiring.

A kid trying to get a job at an Amazon warehouse is checked more thoroughly.

I wonder if Ben Levin, Wynnes former advisor is a member of the faculty at that location?

Paroled after 3 months of a 3 year sentence - Why did they even bother locking him up?

Was it Covid related release? The system isn't keeping low level offenders inside.

Hell, as per another thread, some jurisdictions are not even prosecuting shop lifters.

Times are fucked up.

There a whole black market school system dominated by Chinese companies - you kid dosent really go to school they just get straight As. They need shady teachers for operations like this.
There are other scam schools as well, again needing desperate teachers
Confusionius school for one which are banned in the USA but here are part of the regular school system.

With only $10K annual tuition, I bet this is the case. A private school simply cannot operate with such low tuition even if it pays half the public school wages to its teachers.

These schools tend to inflate the grades of their students so they get into university. A lot of these students get streamed into smaller universities that are part of existing universities, like Huron College or King's College.

Yes, this is one of the problem in Ontario University admission system: reliance on school grades without a standardised test (like SAT). But, since only grade 12 grades count, grade inflation does not explain the existence of such school. Furthermore, online schools are much cheaper and can inflate grades too :)

Huron College and King's College have lower requirements for GPA, than the rest of UWO. I think they existed well before UWO. Most people transfer to UWO-main campus after a year at one of these affiliate schools. Most of the kids at the affiliate schools are rich private schoolers, and a lot of international students go there as well. Recruiters go to private schools to target their students. Obviously their existence is a business decision lol.

I've heard Ontario universities may not admit to it, but they do not weigh grades for every school in the same way. An 80 at St. Mike's, is not the same as an 80 at Westview (Jane and Finch), for example.

Lorie Loughlin can tell you how to Alberta the SAT's. Standardized tests seem to make it so that kids from higher income families get into the best schools. The best minds tend to come from public schools however.

Well, yes, SAT preparation will increase your score, so, being able to but a few books and practice tests may help. Tutors are good too, but, at the end, kids from high income families have higher scores not because they paid for it, but because they studied. As always, money help to get better education and it is fair. Only a few faculties have additional requirements outside of GPA, for most, as long as you have GPA - you re in (and GPA of all Ontario accredited schools are counted the same)

They tend to be able to afford tutors or go to a Saturday school to learn specifically how to take tests. Most of the rich kids in university had tutors.

Yes, money helps to get better education for kids who are willing to learn. Nothing wrong about it: parents want to spend money on their kids and spending on kids' education is the best way to do it. I am not sure about having tutors in University: these rich kids may be on the dumb spectrum of admitted students. Most kids of rich parents are smart and well educated before starting University so, they do not need tutors at that stage anymore. Good private schools do provider good education, they are not about "buying the graders",
