So in summary, the only people who condemn private schools are the lazy and poor lefties who think it is a truly dreadful thing that parents should be assisted in providing first-rate education. And naturally, they think the purpose of government is to penalise the well-off for their hard work, education and success so that the poor can be rewarded for... nothing at all.

You don’t need a private school to get a first rate education. As I said before, the intensive coaching helps private school students pass exams but then not be able to cope too well at work or tertiary studies.

No, snob value, the old school tie are the main advantages of private education.

There isn't a stat in the world that supports your nonsense. And that applies to almost every post you make.

There is my own personal experience as I have detailed with facts concerning my graduating cohort....you know, the material you reckon I made up because it confronted your bias. Tough. It was/is 100 true.

We don't believe you and you have posted no proof. Firstly, it is you with a rather bad record of lying in posts plus it is the rather unlikely nature of the claim. Two magistrates from the same class? No names of course. And a world-leading IT expert - with no names.

It is of course possible you were telling the truth, but it isn't really likely, is it? And with no proof I am happy to say you lied. The evidence is actually in my corner since there is nothing at all beyond unsubstantiated drivel/dribble in yours.

Where did you send your children, dear? I'm curious.

you asking for proof is like Hitler asking for compassion Cheesy

Even your attempt at insult is a blunt object. You possess no skills with words, no understanding of numbers and a truly appalling sense of personal injustice that colours ever dim thought you have.

You are the man who brings a pocket knife to a gun fight. And even then, it is a blunt blade. You are out argued, out fought and clearly, very outclassed.

True, I agree, I'm not very skillful at the written word ... and you, I agree, seem to have a knack for the written word , however that's neither here nor there, I'm not writing a novel or asking you to buy my book

it realtiy and facts that you struggle with Cheesy

When politicians offer you something for nothing, or something that sounds too good to be true, it's always worth taking a careful second look.

Clever people can impart their opinions, beliefs and discoveries with a bare minimum of competence and often with skill. You possess neither. Your limited IQ often struggles with the difference between facts and opinions and when it doesn't, fails to digest the facts anyhow.

You have only one blunt blade in that pocket knife of yours: arguing and disagreeing. You don't know why and you have no understanding of the topic, but you sure can disagree. After all, that requires almost no intelligence at all. There are others on here I disagree with enormously, but they are capable of creating an opposing argument. You however ARE the opposing argument and a very pitiful one at that.

This skill at writing is not talent. It is not ability honed to a point. It is instead the kind of skill one develops in a private school that determines that EVERY student will write in the top 5%. EVERY student will have an exemplary understanding of basic maths and business concepts. Schools that teach Shakespeare as well as Rowling, Latin as well as Chinese. A school that considers obedience and respect, politeness and sympathy to be far more useful in life than teaching a kid how to check the pressure on the bike tyre or to care for a pet while barely being able to give change on a dollar without a calculator.

If you want to know WHY parents spend money on private school then look at me and then at you. I was not the genius kid or the natural student. I had to work HARD and LONG. I had teachers that helped me do that. They polished my work and taught me to be my best and then to find a bit more. I was encourage, cajoled and most of all, TAUGHT. My Masters degree came far easier because the private school had taught me study and life habits some of my fellow students struggled with.

I am the product of a private school. You are not.

Proof can be public since the claim was also public.

In the ordinary course, yeas. But, revealing ones personal ID on a political chat site, is an entirely different thaing.

How about you tell us all your real name, address, phone number and email address....oh, and add in all the details of your entire working career. You do that, and I'll be quite excited.

Yes, you are ignorant enough to come from a private school, and your temper tantrums and insult throwing fits the profile of a permanently immature private schoolboy.

But I somehow doubt the private school and the masters degree: you can’t argue and debate for poop. I think your attitude is because you missed out on the private school etc.

It's a good thing Maria hasn't had a career as a Swedish academic. She'd have to tell us all the articles and books she published.

People with Master's Degrees need to apply for a pension now? Wow - something failing badly in the education and employment systems.........

Now Longy - he was studying for a Ph.D in mathematics.. that explained his brilliant ripostes to any suggestion that LNP mathematics was flawed or biased.. or simply spin...... he could do that by name-calling and flubbing along about how the other party could not understand - he's that good!

I believe he was also going to be applying for an aged pension.... education is not all it seems..... it seems..... Shocked

when you go back to school, perhaps you can ask them to show you how to find evidence that proves an argument, rather than simply give an answer to repeat ad nauseam

I think that was bloody obvious .... everyone can tell by your incessant repetition of a claim, without ever showing anything to support it
