Private Schools

I didn't even notice it. I was looking at the hypocrisy of his NWO claims, haha.

No-one can teach you to teach yourself

Why not? Why can't someone teach a person self-learning skills?

I think the ability to be able to learn by yourself is something you pick up from infancy and develop throughout your life. It doesn't happen independent of school but it seems to me that school helps by exposing you learning experiences. How individuals react to the experience and what they take up on it through reflection and hard work is almost solely dependent on the student.

I think education should have a focus on teaching people to self-learn. It is an important ability. (Clearly, proposing this is in my interests: less actual teachers means I will be more demanded as a tutor - but I mean it... seriously)

I think it should too, but sometimes that's difficult, especially if you're teaching to an exam (which is basically what the VCE makes teachers do). It's much quicker to spoon feed kids the answer than to wait around for them to come up with it on their own. English classes are usually the best example. I remember we were given the essay topic a week before the SAC, and the teacher would talk on and on about how you would answer the said topic. Self-learning would involve none of that, it would involve thinkin properly about the topic, reviewing the book, reading critical analyses, etc. but there's just no time for that in the VCE. To some extent, I think all high school kids are 'spoon fed', not just the private school ones. Although the better students probably tend to be the ones who take the initiative outside of class as well.

teaching people to self learn require them to be at least motivated

that is a fkn HUGE ask in a public school, as droodles put, they're mainly a bunch of clubbing junkie whores/dickheads...

my school has realised how important self learning is, but failed to see the great difficulty of implementation....

if you go down to a normal non-select entry public school, and some of the rather "obscured" places you'll understand what I mean...
every year at clean up we always manage to find a pile of cigarettes, some syringes, pill casings and condoms....

As coblin said, I was a normal non-select entry public school student!

Some public schools are pretty dodgy, but it's not the majority of public schools that have all that filth everywhere. Most students are pretty decent in the public sector. Your generalisation is a bit offensive actually, it's like saying "private school kids are mainly a bunch of spoilt, stupid brats who do coke on the toilet seats", which isn't true at all (as far as I know...). Didn't you learn anything from Summer Heights High ?

Besides, at least they're smart enough to be having safe sex .

good luck, but there is no perfect system, i'm sure there'll be people saying your one is gay, just that that group's demographics will be different...
