The francophones outside of Quebec have worked extremely hard for a long period of time simply to create schools, let alone school systems. More or less, the anglophones in Quebec have had a school system for generations and generations. I hesitate because as I began speaking...there is the Protestant-Catholic distinction, which means we can't, technically speaking, talk about the English school system. Nevertheless, anglophones in Quebec have never had any problems having access to a schooling institution. We don't have to reinvent the wheel; no one is arguing that.
For various reasons, including, I'm sorry to say, a legal one, English speakers in Quebec are restrained in a school system that is getting progressively smaller. I would hope to find recourse not so much in ongoing legal struggles, which will get out of hand if they are undertaken—It will be very hard to focus such an issue specifically on the issue of the survival of schools.
I would much prefer to see money available through other programs, which is why I mentioned literacy and all kinds of community organizations, which now, more than ever, are working with the school systems and with their schools, literally to keep them alive. I'm not familiar with this elsewhere. Certainly many schools in Quebec in the English school system are surrounded by communities that are spending all kinds of time and effort, and even fundraising money, in order to keep their schools alive, to the point where they are picking up paint brushes and doing the work that school boards should be doing.
