I find it very disheartening as a public school teacher that my job is so devalued by some people in this thread. Obviously if you don't pay for your education its no good and obviously I mustn't care about my class cause its the public system.
Also I obviously don't care about my oldest DD either because I have shown her no care at all and spent nothing sending her to the local public high school instead of going into massive debt to send her to some snooty private school where she can feel completely out of place cause we aren't rich but where she could be spoon fed to keep up their HSC results in order to charge huge fees.

All of the "i care enough about my children to spend heaps of money getting them an education" has made my blood boil. I deeply care about my chilren's education but as a firm believer in the public system I feel that it can be achieved within that system too. So many of these pro private posts have been very ANTI public schools.
I am not anti private schools just the people who seem to think that only those who care about their children's education use them.
