Abstract	What Canadians want from their public schools has changed dramatically over the course of Canadian history. The changing expectations reflect corresponding social, political, and economic changes as well as the influence of technology and ideas about schooling itself. Canada's public schools are remarkable among institutions for their success. They communicate the history, symbols, and values that distinguish Canada from other nations, inspire in the next generation a sense of belonging to Canada, and develop the knowledge base that Canada needs to survive and thrive. Canadian public schools have shown themselves to be resilient and elastic, adapting well to the changing desires of Canadians. Their continued success will depend upon a number of factors: a reasonable balance between education for personal and social development; resources equal to expectations; and public confidence.
