At the end of the day public and private school teachers are both educated the same, yet they don't teach the same. An ineffective teacher working in a high socio economic area is just as detrimental to a child's education... I'd much prefer my child to be taught by the excellent teacher in a lower socio economic area

Yes but in my limited experience private & catholic teachers are better remunerated ?

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

spot on

That's one of the reasons why the Glen Waverley house price is ridiculous. One of the better public schools which sort of restricts intake to only Glen Waverley resident intakes

20-30kms from the city and house prices probably average well over $1M

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

My logic says hard working parents with successful businesses, but higher probability of spoiled kids who've been handed life on a silver platter = little ambition to succeed.

I went to a private school that was about 12k a year by the end of it. There was the same mix you could find at any school, we had hard workers, geeks, jockish people, lazy people, wealthy families with spoilt kids who never had to pay for anything themselves; comparatively poor people whose parents wanted a chance at a better education for them. I reckon you could find all that anywhere, but obviously a fair few more of the rich families. We had fk all hot girls, which sucked. We were really starved for decent looking girls or even girls with persobality, and the one or two that we had were into dating 25 year olds with cars. Speaking of, mate got a brand new 318i as a year 12 graduation present.

I don't think public schools are what they were decades ago and neither are private schools. The gap is much narrower with access to technologies and resources, and unless you're sending them to a private school with a student culture that thrives on achieving high results, neither type of school will guarantee a better future for your kid. Plenty fell into the bad crowd at my school and there are plenty of bad crowds at public too.

I'll be sending my kids to public, and using the money I save to pay them to do chores before they can legally work...give them that sense of earning and success from hard work that seems to be missing a lot these days. I'll also be making sure they study hard because I believe the parenting is more important than the school they go to.

Our kids will be going to whichever school I'm working at.

Don't do that, kids of teachers at the school get left out; don't you remember the playground code

no they don;t...

they get away with just about anything including sneaking into the year 12 coordinators back yard to drink his home brew at lunch time..

it's just when you cross "that" line and get caught it follows you home, so you get smart about things.

Where'd coilovers come from Migule?

Most guys I know from school were basically only baptised to get into Catholic schools. Which is pretty sad when you think about it. It's not that I don't like public schools.... Just certain public schools in my area had a more notable amount of drop kicks and nutcases. Their numbers dropped significantly by yr11.

I would prefer my kids to go to a co-ed school. Sausage fest was just annoying. My life has had too many dudes in it. And I'm not even FIFO much.

Will worry about it when the time comes. But if little Jimmy was in the way of me getting a new boat, he better work on dem scholarships

Yeah don't disagree entirely birds and its a personal choice my personal experience is what will lead me toward catholic / private education I do think the good public schools which are limited are being confused with all public schools

Heck two public schools here have a no homework policy wtf is that!?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
