I'd rather my kids go to a public school, religion is just one more subject that will do nothing for them in life. Like there's not enough useless shit taught at school already...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

depends.... I think it's important to have a knowledge of religion in general as you have to deal with people of all backgrounds in life, but I certainly don't subscribe to any of them personally and wouldn't want it forced on my Kids.

Wesley (where I went) taught all religions in the RE classes, which is how I feel it should be approached.

I went full public.

Lloyd St Primary School in Malvern

Vermont Primary School in Vermont (with a very unsavoury person that I used to play 4-square with)
Vermont Secondary College in Vermont

Fk Private.

I went to a catholic school in noble park. I think the stigma of both cancel each other out?

[Rekin]

Yeah funny thing is majority of our clients are from east as they are priced out and rather than being 40/50km east they come 20km west.. The stigma is slowly dieing.

although it may be boring as birds points out its affordable, safe, clean and infinitely better value

In time....

The North-side is booming. Not long ago people feared north of Bell street but that's now changed.

Won't be long till it swings to the left on to the other side of the freeway.

Unless everyone starts to accept high density living, there will be a spill over to the west.

I think our generation + 1 are more accepting of high density living. Whereas our parents all wanted a backyard for their kids etc

Which is why the Chinese families are buying up the suburban homes because to them the backyard is luxury, and so will it be in our near future.

See them at Domain Chandon taking photos of just the open space there lol, unseen beauty back in the mainland.

Yup & was the same for previous generations. Majority of immigrants grew up in apartments and having your own house & backyard was ymcmb status.

Religion is mandatory but certainly wasn't forced down any throats I think certainly more structure and better culture compared to the public school I went to first that place seemed more like a pathway to incarceration.

it's called a view, taken photos of it myself and at time nearest neighbor was 1/2 a km away.

so much hate for some-one so young.

Agreed

Ill send my kids to a public school

They'll be right

[dezz]

There's always going to be stories about both types of schools... My high school could be labelled rough, but the private school around the corner the chicks were giving out blowies at lunch for $5 and dope being sold at lunch time etc...

[Miguelone]

God damn rear coilovers have disappeared in the post

that's the definition of mandatory

[emts]

learning content is not.

Comprehension wasn't on your curriculum. They are most certainly not the same

[alr33x]

If I ever need to choose a school for a child I'll be weighing my decision heavily on most likely circle of influence my experience was public school had a lot of plebs.. Catholic school more ambitious and successful comparing 10 years later.

People won't agree but I want my kid hanging around kids with ambition desire to succeed from solid backgrounds etc

Before anyone starts im aware that there is no guarantee but you can increase the probability

Agree however a public school in toorak would no doubt offer equal/greater circle of influence however you would need to own a house in the zone.

Easier to pay the private school fees than a house in toorak etc
