At least it's easier for a private school to move on a problem teacher.
Or a problem student.

That is silly, now we compare an IP performance to public/private school performance.
I need now to be educated on investment strategies
But it is limited, Esel. It's just about the effect of homework on academic success.
Absolutely agree with you.
Not all teachers are great teachers, I have had seen shockers in public as well, its just a job they are over it, would rather be home, or doing something else..... then do everyone a favour find another job, give the kids half a chance.
Not public/ private school performance but the child's performance. It is the child you are investing your money in by way of selecting a particular school to achieve the outcomes you desire for your child.
What do you (not you personally) want your child to get out of their educational experience?
Education does not only include school/s
Agree
I see where you are coming from. I presume your children are young adults now not children.
When they were children I would think you made choices on their behalf, modelled behaviour you expected and guided them in the direction you thought was right. I could be wrong.
... she is putting her kids into a private school, not for the education, but for the people that go there,the opportunity to make contacts, network and meet the right people ...
My partner and i have decided that, we would rather help our children get a foot on the property ladder than pay for a private education.
This OECD report states that after socio-economic status is taken into account, australian students in private schools do no better than they would in a public school.
Do you think private school fees (and tax payers dollars) could be better spent elsewhere?

I would definitely try to steer my children away from those people's children. lol. Those parents will get a shock when they find that they cannot control the friendships their children make. And if they're doing it to social climb, they will find that the only friends that they make are other social climbers. Nothing more unattractive than desperate wannabes.
If a child is going to do well, they will do well whether they go private or public, that is, if it's a good public school. My children had all kinds of friends--kids from low socio-economic backgrounds to very wealthy. I trusted their judgement and didn't try to interfere. Money doesn't make a child nice, good, kind; it's how they are raised that matters.
The myschool website has some data that attempts to show how much value a school is actually adding to the performance of their students. My local 25k school doesnt seem to be adding as much value as my local gov school although the VCE results are better. That means that student performance at year 9 is inline with their performancce in primary school and when compared to schools with a students of a similar socio-economic background the preformance is comparable (or lower).
Agree with all this. A member of my wife's family tried to tell me that we should always get into the most expensive school we could for the networking our children would do. It might have worked a couple of generations ago but in b usiness it doesn't now. If anything, having everything lined up for you makes people less likely to believe your own claims of capability, if anything.
Yeah, it doesn't mean much these days. Probably helps kids some pretty good work experience opportunities in Year 10 or whenever they do that, but that's about it.Really, how does the old school network work in a 21st century economy?

Esel, it sounds like you have already made your decision. You might have just been looking for a bit of confirmation. You're lucky you have a good local school (according to the Myschool website, at least).
