Private or Public Schools?

[mellie]

Parent's need to work with the system, not against it in order for their children to develop positive attitudes towards learning and school.

Alternatively, perhaps these whinging parents should teach their children themselves?

Equally, parents of special needs children should not be placing them in schools who don't necessarily cater to special needs children and then seeking to have extra staff employed in order to cater to the minority?

I am not saying you did that but many parents do and expect the school to change to suit them.

It works both ways.

We are a tad more civilised and inclusive here in Vic BO.

My eldest is academically gifted, was grade accelerated, and thrived in a public school.
Even though he's not Indian or Asian.
So it is possible.

In Victoria,

We don't shriek " Ya'll we don't want yer disabled kind roun eeer".
In our schools.

Where possible, we integrate them and focus on developing their strengths, when not, there's specialist school.

Pauline seems rather hell bent on creating the perfect white race. I'm waiting for her to make yet another ridiculous statement.

She certainly comes up with some clackers.


She's a moron. Sorry.

Ummm it hasn't been a couple of decades since my kids were at school

Really? I had you stereotyped as a 72 year old lady in twin set and pearls?

Carry on.

Well it's apparently quite amazing what you can hide under a twin set and I might even get some action and get wanded at the airport. Perhaps I could dye my hair blue to match the twin set?

Bring it on

I thought Pauline wanted slow kids in a different class, not a different school.

[mellie]

Ok. I give up.

What's a twin set?

She did.

[mellie]

Have any of you read the story about Thomas Edison?

How he was expelled from school, then home schooled?

Autistic kids are often profoundly gifted.

Not slow.

Fancy putting Thomas Edison in a spastic bus or in a Hansonian slow stream class.

[mellie]

As per usual, Hanson sprouts more than she knows.

[mellie]

Albert Einstein too for that matter.

I think a few of you need to Google infamous autistic people.

Clearly, Hanson didn't.

I know who should have been in a slow stream class.
