i went to a public school, all we had to pay was basically

$110 a year for text books, they also gave us a pack with exercise books pens pencils etc etc,

the only other thing we had to pay for was excersions.

unless we did photography manual arts (woodshop/metalshop) or similar then we had to pay for materials etc.

i liked it, they were strict with uniforms and truency etc. but over all it wasnt bad, there wasnt that much "bad" stuff(gangs bullies,drugs etc etc) going on either.

unlike private schools a lot of which while having a reputation for high ackedemic standards and sporting standards (which we were also good at, we had many many good ackedemic students and just as many regional/state champion sportsmen/women)

but some of the private schools (which remain nameless) have big problems with drugs/theft/gangs etc mainly due to spoilt rich kids with no loving family support.

our school had over 40 different nationalities and cultures.

almost all (well 80% - 90%) had a great family life with no pressures etc. whereas a lot of the private school people i know have bad home lives and are in gangs and do drugs.

private schools are good if you go to the right ones (and pay the right price) but my kids are going to public schools.

on the point of public schools needing more funding.

i TOTALY AGREE. the text books we had were ten years old. the classrooms were ok but not good enough, the desks/chairs were good but not good enough.

our sports fields were EXCELLENT though. mind you that is a credit to the single grounds keeper.

my old school (i say that cus im now out of school for a year and a bit) had programs in placefor students who didnt have the best ackedemic abilites, these were Job placement (work 1 day a week instead of school, no pay, but you get a tafe certificate at the end) and traineeships (i did a retail one (even though i got decent scores at school) it was awesome, i actually went to college at the RAQ)

they also had things for young people who have had kids where they could bring their children with them and look after them while learning (not in normal classes though they had their own rooms)

but our school was/is/and will continue to be one of the better brisbane public schools.

MY MOTHER....considers herself a "victim" of private school. Though, that WAS a long time ago, she does believe the presentation of knowledge was one sided. She endured abuse and what she believed to be "brain washing" , she tried to be partial. This was a "catholic school", ( one of the finest ofcourse) and she was a devout catholic.............
She adored her sister and tried to be like her........
BUT..... when her sister--who was soooooooo holy-- got pointed out..........for a reason she COULD not deny, my mother just couldn't accept the fact!
Her sister had an abnormally large breast size for her age, so the sisters could not ignore it. The sisters decided to bind (spelling?) her chest--with ace bandage.
My mother swore this was sooo wrong! She stated, " God gave them to her, she should wear them...ect"
So her chest was bound every day......

My mothers sister, with unwavering faith, allowed such abuse, feeling it was "rightous"(spelling AGAIN!?)).
If thats the way it should be...let it be..ect...
She was a faithful follower...SHE was a person who qoted the scripture......
Well, 5 years later when my moms sister, Kristine, died an untimely death,( let it be know she suffered a long hard death) my mom vowed never to send her own children to private school.
WHY?
they contorted the truth
abused the truth
used the scriptures to brainwash
punishment over positive reinforcement
repenting was torture
denied one her own self worth.......
my mother , lost her faith, because her sister was abused by the system.
Her sister, who had such faith till the end of her battle with Multiple sclerosis, embrac ed the system that failed her and made her feel she was "unworthy", died believing this was "the way".
F uck private , ..........it allows for one sided liberal views to invade and engross our childrens minds.
Go "public" and allow our strong children to grow their own perception of peers and adults alike. TRUST!
Give them credit Please.. They will overcome, percevere (oh god spellin/) and do right by you if you let them!
Thanks
a namesake,
Kristine
