>> Do you have any suggestions or are you just telling us an ideal situation

How about paying teachers based on something like this...

# of students * % improvement in test score (from beginning of semester to end) = wages.

If a teacher takes too few students, they will earn less than optimal wages. If they take too many, they may will lose money as well, due to low test scores. Over time, teachers will figure out the correct number of students for their particular style of teaching.

Moreover, if a teacher can't produce improvements at all, which is highly unlikely after a whole semester, they will earn nothing.
In this case, they would likely quit and find another way to make a living.

>> Canadian workers should earn similar wages to Chinese workers, right?

If Canadian consumers want to buy products made with Canadian made steel, rather than import steel, they are free to do that. Same goes for cars, appliances, farm equipment, etc.

Ultimately, it is the Canadian consumer who decides where their products are sourced from.
