I am providing my boys these basic skills here at home and they'll go much further in life with those skills than by knowing pi r squared (can't do the symbol here ) or X+Y x C. Who uses that stuff anyway.
You don't want your kids to have it better than you did? I sure do.
Simon,I think the deciding factor on whether kids do well at school or not is simple.
Do their parents value education?...For your kids sake - don't program their minds for mediocrity. You are the single biggest influence of how their lives turn out.
LMAO.....um...me....every day. In fact, anyone responsible for anything with a round thing or bit in it, has had to use it. You know, the small irrelevant things like wheels and cogs and clocks and roads and bridges.....you may have seen what happens on the TV recently in the US when you get it wrong....bad stuff usually happens.
Agree with most of your post Kev and had a great laugh over this bit.

Don't forget inflation... you can round it up to $300K!The fees are about a 12K p.a. base fee, and we are budgeting another 4 to 5K p.a for all of the other stuff through the year the parents need to contribute for. Five years exposure for each child, leads to a cost of 17 x 5 x 3 = $ 255 K
Its much easier to pay school fees when you've already paid heaps for daycare or a nanny.
We decided to send our son to a private school this year(Year 7)
There is not a moment that I have ever regretted our decision.
We have encountered openly hostility by other parents that only snobs, bullies, little robots, smart kids etc are allowed in this particular school.
Talk about gross generalisations concerning innocent children.

This is an interesting discussion. I am a teacher at a Private School, and I find the majority of students to be down to earth and very pleasant. In many cases their parents are working very hard to send them there, and in most cases the children realize and appreciate this!
Great decision Mrs Bird,
I hope your son enjoys his time at school.
Regards Jason.
