Given that you finished VCE last year, if you did VCE English, you'd have even studied how to analyse such pieces of writing.
Perhaps the nuance was a bit unfamiliar in the realms of the internet, but I believe that I have responded to the initial post directly and have not delved off on a tangent.
Feel free to ask me for clarification of what I mean if you're not convinced. |
Read my posts. I stated that the 'majority of people in this thread' do not begrudge. You highlight one persons message.
You also assume I completed VCE last year. Incorrect assumption. When people are putting forward intelligent propositions (e.g. those by Ali), your own sarcastic tones are out of place and unwarranted.
It is a fool who thinks that the quality of tuition and opportunities avail. at the average public school can bring the potential in a student re: ENTER score as much as private schools.
Keep putting your head in the sand. Send your kids to some crappy public school, and see if you sleep well about their opportunities to succeed. I bet if you have the money, you will choose a DECENT school for your children.
