'Really messy part of our system': School shopping comes with a hidden cost | AnnaPattySMH

School choice might be good for the individual, but education experts have warned it can have an adverse impact on society more broadly by lowering education performance of children across the board.Schools Summit this week that a disadvantaged student who also goes to a disadvantaged school "performs about two years worse by year 10"."It drags down the average. It reinforces educational disadvantage and potentially weakens the social fabric.

"If they come to us and they are not happy with what we have to offer, then they do have that choice to go to a co-educational school." "In theory I have a choice between a Maserati and a Hyundai, but I don't have the resources to exercise that choice," he said.

Man charged over alleged school bomb threatA man accused of making online bomb threats towards a South Australia school - may have done so in response to students bullying him. 9News Your article seems to imply that it is OK to bully and perhaps terrify a disabled man though the little cretins need all the support they can get. Perhaps parents and schools should teach their children how to behave then this saga would not have happened. Respect thy elders. Perhaps the students need a little help understanding it’s not okay to bully. That seems to have been totally overlooked here. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
