Utter nonsense of course, and needless to say it does not lie with the system, but with the ethnic cultures involved.



Ethnicity has nothing to do with it, Herbie.


Oh shít, NOW I'm in trouble - and I was doing so well too.

... er ... yes it DOES have a significant bearing upon the study ethic in the home due to the inherent culture that comes with different ethnic backgrounds.

I know this for a FACT from my observations over many decades of having worked among a score of different immigrant ethnic nationalities.

Let me remind you: The top 1 percent owns one third; the top 10 percent of that owns 60 percent of all wealth, while the bottom 30 percent of the population owns squat or in in massive perceptual debt.

Such social inequality will no doubt reflect itself in any educational system.


Hang on! - get back on the subject, please - you're rabbiting on about something entirely different here. You're back on your Socialist obsession again.

We're talking about how cultural background influences attitude towards study and self-improvement until a professional standard is reached through TAFE or university.

In the real world it does, smart people are rarely poor people and poor people rarely instill a work ethic in their children ensuring their 'inner brilliance' carries through to the next generation.

And I did refer to the middle classes not the self indulgent and indolent rich. We still work hard for our money.



You're being a little too facile there, BigFella.

Stereotyping applies to some but not to all.

When I arrived in Australia I did what most others did at that time ... head for the nearest manufacturing plant and start working on a machine that made widgets.

What I discovered was that despite having come from straitened circumstances a lot of these 'wogs' were in fact every bit as bright as the ethnic GPs and specialists we see working in our suburbs today.

It was only language difficulties and opportunity for study that kept them back from entering a white-collar profession.



Looks like your private school education has not helped you at all. The word "rarely" is a modifier that denotes not always, so when I used it twice I meant not always, but sometimes; unlike your understanding of it to mean always.


BTW contrived anecdotal evidence isn't worth the paper it wasn't written on.
