Where will you send your children?

[Odette.]

I'm a tad bored as you can see...
Just curious to know which school everyone will send their children to and why...
Which do you think would be better... co-ed schools or schools which seperate females and males? Same sex schools? (what are those schools called btw?)
I have no idea where I'll send my children, so many options....

Probably co-ed ... that is, if I even have kids, damn brats

[costargh]

Ideally, one of the best state schools (non-selective) in Victoria... would be so much easier with league tables.

In high school probably the same although I wouldnt hesitate putting them in a Catholic school if the fees werent too inflated by then and i thought the quality of teaching was better. Not sure about co-ed and single sex. If they were a girl probably single sex, if a boy probably co-ed.

Oh and another thing is it true that PEGs [Penleigh and Essendon Grammar] has same sex campuses for year 7-10 and co-ed for VCE?... Someone at that school told me...

a good public school..
uni high would be first preference i think.

If they were a girl probably single sex, if a boy probably co-ed.

Interesting ... why?

I dunno, I don't like the idea of single sex schools

[squance]

A private school...but not to my old school

Either the top selective schools, or, failing that, a private school.

I would do the opposite to be honest... ^_^


Definitely not my old school... and most likely not a catholic school..

Not the school I went to for sure, it ruins all the bright students.

yep
but it works really well, i'll send my kids there

Firstly I'd be assessing what the education system is like in 20 years.
Next I would be assessing what sorts of kids I have as to what would suit them. In retrospect I would have loved to go to a macrob-esque school but other members of my family are more suited to open entry schools.

But if I was deciding for tomorrow, either a great state school or a select entry state school or a private school. They wouldn't be going to the local high school up the road

Co-ed School, Probably a high performing state school followed by a private school
