I went to public schools until year 8 (we have primary school till year 6, then secondary til year 12, then Uni) when i got into a palce called Melbourne HIgh, its an entrance only high school iwht more funding that it needs as is basicly a private school (full balzer uniform etc), because of the lack of distructive kdis and stuff (our school calls us the cream of the crop, personally i think its more they removed the gunky sediment form the bottom but...) the teachers are great and the amount we get though is jsut incredible, the workload boarders on insane (during term i'm often up till 2am, along with most of my class) but its worth it.
I haven't heard of any home schooling in australia but i've heard its better in most cases than Public schools at least. The only loss i would have htough would have been the social side of school...
Hate to sound really harsh and all but frankly, i think theres alot of animals that have more of a right to life than alot of people...
but hey, i am a supporter of
VHEMT .......(i love the new URL buttons n stuff, makes it easier than trying to remember the syntax for 10 different sites)
Sycamore mentioned that he went to a catholic school, you stil catholic? were you ever?
The msot interesting thing i've foudn about them in Australia is they seem ot turn kids AGAINST Catholisim, which (and i'm not trying to offend anyone but ill back up my views if asked) is a good thing......
