Of course, there were no education or health department in the government in most countries.  Governments are really big in this world.

That only means the direction and policy that school board takes is wrong but it does not mean that a country should not have its school board to govern school policies.  Without school board, teacher can teach whatever they want and there will be no standard.  There will be no size limit for one school and all the people can go to whatever the "good" school and leave "bad" school empty.

sometimes you cannot use school logic on operating a school.  In business, people want to make money; in another way, if there is no school board, there is no free school up to grade 12.  There will be some kids who cannot afford going to school like old times.  Only rich kids can afford to graduate.  

In addition, there will be no school board to govern which material to teach in which grade so each school would teach different things.  When you said, I graduate from grade 12 and people still do not know what your level is.  Good teacher is hard to define too.  Good teach as in giving student good marks so they can get into university easily and thus the school has higher percentage of enrolling into university; that will be what happen when there is no provincial test;

Bad policy by school boards does not mean that we should not have school boards at all.

I think the bad thing about Canada is union.  For example, teacher unions ask for better pay and less student to teach; this definitely would add cost to operate up.
