One of the collegues at work wrote a scathing article against the my schools webpage... it's basically crap and not worth the paper it's written on.
Link? Unless it's your friend's article that's not worth the paper it's written on

The comparisons on the MySchools website are crap. The school my boys go to is pretty much a one of a kind. There are other bi-lingual schools in the ACT but they use different methodology and bi-lingual schools in other states that use the same methodology have a different socio-econimic profile and have English streams as well. Because they are being educated in 2 languages there is an expectation that until about year 3 they will be behind mono-lingually educated children in some areas. This is reflected in their NAPLN scores but there is nowhere on the MySchools website that explains that under the teaching methodology this is an expected outcome. Most of the schools they are compared to are mono-lingual schools with a similar demographic profile and totally different learning methods.

MySchool makes no mention of bullybusting programs, sustainability, chooks, vege gardens, arts programs, sporting opportunities and all the other things that count.
