My Dad lived in Quebec for a lot of his childhood and speaks french still, but always wondered why they'd teach Ontario children proper france french, rather than how they speak it in Quebec. Maybe its different now, who knows.
I took french from grade 4 until grade 9. I can read a bit of it, but when I've been around people speaking french in Quebec I'm lucky if I can pick out more than a couple words.
