I go to a school ranked 187th, for the most part the staff at my school are older/better then those in the rest of the region (we're a rural area) but there are a few exceptions...
- My modern history teacher is shit, he gives us excel/maquarie photocopies for notes
- My advanced english teacher has had that many complaints by students he's not allowed to teach advanced next year
- My mate's electronics teacher burnt all the wires in his major project, due tomorrow.

You tend to find that a lot of comprehensive high schools in the sydney region (St Pius X and St Marys Cathedrel) get ranked within the 100-150's whereas schools in rural areas, well, usually start at about 150...


So are teachers in sydney areas, and particually at select and private schools of a better quality? (generally speaking) or is it just the students are more diligent?

arguements for:
- Sydney being a city might be more attractive for many teachers, and teaching good students in select schools would make these schools more attractive

arguements against:
- Pay and the transfer system is the same at every school, and with the exception of private schools you cant just dismiss staff because they are average teachers.
