teach your kids yourself.
teachers are increasingly getting in with terrible marks (OP 17 in some colledges in qld) that puts some teachers in the bottom 1/2 of their own school rankings.
i'm smart enough to teach my kids a bit of extra physics chemistry and maths B.
same as sport, if you had a really great sporting kid, you wouldnt just leave it all up to the phys ed teacher.
another great opportunity to get ahead.
the top schools in brisbane (academically) are both strict lutheran, have school on saturdays, full of asians with lap tops, then again, they do have a higher suicide rate.
i'd rather put the kids in a slightly less aggressive school but still surrounded by quality kids and then grill em in the car and the boat with endless rounds of "who wants to be a millionaire'
kids are like dogs and horse.
get the environment right and they LOVE to learn.
smack it up and you end up with a useless dog or a bucking biting horse
