Surely not.

The perils of being TRAINED for CONCERT BANDS.  Probably better for it, however

And whenever a tough guy tries to outsmart you at the music shop, you can just shoot him in the face with some musical knowledge (true story).

the 'best' teachers in the state

I personally go to a private school and to be honest some of the teachers that are there are actually horrible. I'd probs go as far as saying their the worst in the state. I can not even begin to describe how bad some of them are...

Yes there are some really good teachers and they are really smart in their area, but to be honest some of them have absolutely no idea how to teach... to convey their knowledge...

I beleive that comments about your teachers should be kept for msn. Not trying to be rude, but it's not fun for the rest of us.

The only difference from my view is the environment.
The private schools, you have a studying environment and in public, well you don't always have that environment.
Otherwise, there aint much of a difference.

Home School FTW

I don't really think that is true.  No matter what school you go to, there will be people who genuinely want to do well.  Likewise, there will be those who don't care as much.  Saying that people who can afford to go to private schools are more motivated is a load of rubbish.

being schooled in both public and private schools, i have to agree with this.

So if it's not the teachers are private schools, then one of the factors influencing the results of those students could be the environment in which private school students are subjected to.


Generally speaking, some private schools release students who "don't want to be there" to the point where the school is only left with only the cream of the crop so there will always be a more competitive atmosphere.

EDIT:  Post edited for grammatical errors.

It is open for interpretation. Different students learn better through different teachers (or even delivery methods of learning altogether - some may not even need teachers!). I'm not going to stand up and say what's the best way to account for this, but I believe more flexibility in the education arena should be allowed so that new things can be tried.

You can still choose the traditional route if you want, or try out pioneering methods (which may succeed or fail). Let the evolutionary mechanism of the marketplace weed out the poor innovators and reward the great innovators.

You don't always have that environment in private schools either, so your point is moot.

I have only heard of one case where a student was asked to go to a different school because his results were not good enough to go into year 12 (that person ended up with a 98+ ENTER so god knows what the school was thinking). Otherwise, many private schools would be reluctant to expel a student just because their academic record was not up to scratch. As long as their parents can keep paying the school fees the school will turn a blind eye. They want the money to build chapels and pretty new halls so that they can *look* like a private school.

This is from experience - in almost all my classes there were people who were so unmotivated and lazy that I just didn't understand why they'd continue to waste their parents' money. They were the people who got ENTERs of 15.xx and 24.xx.

Really?  Some private schools are "...reluctant to expel a student"?  I thought some of those elite schools do a "spring cleaning" at the end of year 10 or something like that to keep only the best of the best so ensure that their median study score and "% study scores over 40" remained high.

I've only heard of one school doing that. I think the schools would prefer to keep earning the (exorbitantly high) tuition fees that these students bring in

I know our school did a 'spring cleaning' at the end of year 10 and I wouldn't regard it as an elite school, but i don't think it was for academic purposes
