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!?

    • I spent the entire of the long weekend going through my garage and I'm now, after 3.5yrs in this house, able to fit a car in. The garage is quite long and the back half has a high enough ceiling for a 2 post lift but it's going to just take too much space and I don't think I'd be able to get around the car if it was in the air. So, in comes the quick lift. It looks perfect. High enough to do most things, I reckon even getting a gearbox out would be doable.  Does anybody here have one? They're fairly cheap (~$3k) considering...  https://www.dtmtrading.com.au/product/quick-lift-portable-vehicle-hoist-3500-kg-worksafe-approved/ I'm also a bit of a non risk taker so I'd probably still use stands when under!  
    • Well now we all see it! I did the same. Then cut it out. Then melted half of it. Then discarded it entirely. So... you're in good company.
    • I just replaced the god awful, sagging, crunchy bonnet insulation. It's something nobody but I see but it's been at me for a while.
    • yeah the south island is stunning, the wifes family is from the west coast down there so we were down there for christmas.   a high 10 would be a stretch but hilarious if it happened. fourth gear is its party gear, i don't have traction to throw more at it at lower speeds. I've found passengers don't think its that fast, i think it's because it has a digital dash so they can't see the needle move so they have no sense of speed
    • You have (externally anyway) a lot of patience!  At the very least your patience has rewarded you financially even if you decided you were over it!! I only just read your first experience of seeing the car, that would have been amazing!  Well documented too! It must be exciting knowing there's only 10 months left until you can get it on a boat and on it's way!!!???
