Bullying and arpatheid in SES schools
I've had reports of bullying being an issue on both the aussie schools. The latest news is that, in one of the schools, intergrade bullying is such a problem they have divided the (small) playground into 3 areas with rules about what grade child can play in what area. How ridiculous. Does trying to ...

I've never tried it but I think it's pretty easy to append things on.
Which I guess is partly why wik is not necessarily well regarded as an authoritive source of info

hmm, where do I say they don't fudge their figures? I thought we were trying to find evidence that JC is behind other schools? Yup - and we're not going to find that in the school's own prospectus are we? b-tongue You might care to dismiss anecdotal evidence, but MM and Temp Dupe had remarkably simi...

Keep in mind that the SES keep their belief system quite secret - but according to some ex-senior members who used to p...

Thanks for the unexpected well wishes actually, my bad, I thought you had removed your son. That being said, I certainly DO wish him well in his new school. OC classes, as far as I know, are only 5-6th grade; my son is only in 1st grade. That is true, and the classes are filled from kids from schoo...
