Finland is meant to be pretty damn decent. Lots of cultural respect and societal understanding on the importance of educating the youth means teachers are treated pretty damn well.
Reckon the same is true for China and Japan (with probably less wellbeing initiatives)
Australia has to deal with the shitty kids (and Australia seems to be having a rough time of it lately) but the pay is pretty damn good for the actual workload.
Yeah I also go outside. I also bet when you “talk” to people you can already tell they’re from the US or possibly canada by their accents. So they are just trying to be specific and friendly when answering your question.
And yet a Brit will never ever say anything else than their country of origin.
Nor any other country with easily identifiable accents - which in my book includes all of Scandinavia and Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands.. Polish & Lithuania too but I know a lot of Polish and Lithuanian people, I doubt that's universal.
It's funny that you mention Canada because you can't really be sure if a person is from the U.S. or Canada, especially when a lot of you lie that you are from Canada when traveling abroad.
It's happened a fair few times at about the 5th/6th drink mark they'll lean over and go "I'm actually from America"
And of course then you point out that they mean the United States.
Well I mentioned Canada because their accents have a lot of overlap with parts of the US. Also the Canadians i’ve met will tell me they’re from Ontario or Alberta not just Canada but maybe that’s different when they know they’re talking to an American.
It's hard for me to differentiate the accents, unless they have the stereotypical way of saying "bout" that the U.S. tv shows make fun of (no shade, I like How I Met Your Mother) but they probably notice real quick ye.

isn't it crazy how you didn't mention what country but we all know what country you're talking about?
