ABC shouldn't ,be lefts Comment from : Aussie Southerncrosssolider |
 |
Been working in Catholic schools for over 10 years now and in that time have done hundreds of enrolment interviews Parents aren't choosing schools because of academics - that's actually low on the list Higher on the list are: Pastoral care, behavioural management system, extra-curricular opportunities, which school the child's friends are going to, catering for learning difficulties, school values, staff dedication, to name several All of these are more important to most parents than academic achievementbrbrThe ABC acts like hardly anyone knows that academic achievement is very similar between public and private That's false The vast majority of parents know thisbrbrWhat you need to look out for are schools that sing their own praises over academic achievement since they are the ones who do everything but literally push their low achieving students out the door before they graduate so they can't bring down the school's report These schools simply do not provide for diverse learners and would rather kick students out of their schools than work to build them up Comment from : Deodrass Helios |

Private schools are not interested in your child, they are interested in the fees you pay Comment from : Gordon Pavilion |
 |
I'm sorry but I can't believe for a second that a school getting twice as much funding per student as its neighbour produces essentially the same educational outcomes That's obviously bunk We know it's bunk How on Earth were those socioeconomic controls calculated? Comment from : Douglas Catling |

Forgot to mention scaling smart kids who go to poorer underfunded public schools get scaled down, less smart kids at private schools get scaled up the hsc includes this school averaging scaling system which disadvantages those at public schools Comment from : jason thornton |

We decided to send our son to a public high school We thought the fees for the private school is better used to pay his University fees/loan Imagine a new graduate has to pay back so much these daysbrIf he needs extra learning, we will send him to a once a week coaching learning They normally cost around $2500/year Comment from : Ryan HP |

Private schools are not private They are tax-payer funded They're only private in as much as only children of rich parents can go there Education should be a leveller, not a divider Comment from : Cameron Deans |
