RE: Private School Vs Public School
I wish we have that system here too.....
Schools should not be judged because it is a public school or private school but with the school's and teacher's performance.
There are also less good things about this system as well.
Most people don't travel more than about 5 or 10 minutes walk or bike to their school (we unusually travel about 25 minutes by car). So it tends to be that the better schools tend to be concentrated in richer areas. So, the better teachers want to go to those schools, so those schools do better... Endless cycle!
And, coming from the Australian system, the huge variety of teaching methods is absolutely bewildering! Who knew there were so many ways to teach kids!
