is it true that private school students tend to get a higher UAI than public schools?

It's true.

1. We get the good teachers.
2. Benefits of internal scaling from the smart scholarship kids and the general more competitive environment.
3. Pressure from competitive parents that expect a lot.
4. Practically 24 hour homework help.
5. We cheat. It's a fact.

i go to a private school, and its the culture that i find that helps people to achieve better marks. theres alot of competition and its like a push to be at the top of the class, whereas i talk to my mates from public schools and theyre all like 'oh u nerd u study" and they always try and push to be the bottom of the class yet want to achieve good in their hsc. at my school, the average size of each grade is about 40, and each class ranges from 5-20 people.
we get alot of one on one help, like i have a terrific mentor who i meet with each week for like 40 mins, and we just talk about school, life, everything. and she gives me advice on how to tackle things, and coz shes my teacher in one of my subjects, its like extra help too. then we have extra maths, chem, physics, english and bio helps at lunch time and after school.
the teacheres do all they can for us, giving away alot of their time to help us

But us rich kids don't need distinctions in uni. We enter the same industry as our parents so we're already ahead.

I'm kidding.

hmmmm.....i go to a private school and i don't cheat. how do you cheat? pls tell me. I'd like to know. but yeh, the other reasons are true.

Have you heard the excuses kids make up to miss their assessments? The only reason they're getting away with it is because the parents are paying the money.

I'm not sure what school you go to, but some private schools alter bell times/timetables so we end up getting more hours and hence, more learning time.

Who do you think you are you ignorant pompous prick? Private school students are not normal as they make up only 1/3 of all secondary students in the state. If there ever was a "normal average student", it would be a public school student.

To suggest that all public school students don't use condoms when they have sex while private school students do is ludicrous.

Maybe the inequality of UAI results is indicative of the inequality of the education funding from the Federal Gov't who prefers to fund these elite schools most while there are public schools who have 5 textbooks amongst a class of 30 students. These private schools receive 2/3 of the education funding though only making up 1/3 of the student body in the state. This allows them to maintain their 8 rugby fields while public schools don't have an adequate library.

That's what I think you stupid git.

Is it true that at like private schools they teach their students to like say "like" at like a rate of like 5 times per minute? 'Cos like when people speak like that, it's like they're like one of those bimboes from like American TV shows and movies.

Like, don't go there girlfriend.

That's not true, you still have to work hard at a private school to get a decent UAI. However, the work ethic and learning environment is better for the students, as in general they have better resources that enhance the students' learning.

you people all suck.

but i must agree, i goto a catholic school (but its not private..) its systemic (under the catholic eduication office) and its great

i mean, who cares about most of the other factor's, like school environment, etc.. all it revovles around is the teaching staff..

most teachers in the public school system dont want to be there. because they have some (NOT all) delinquent students, who dont want to be there, and just want to make life hell for everyone, including the teachers.

at my school, the learning condition is alright (dont get me wrong, its great, but it's not King's or anything like that..)... but on the other hand, we have teacher's who arrive at like 6:00am for morning sessions (if you want/need/request them)... and stay till 6:00pm for the same thing...

some of my greattt teacher's have full loads, 7 out of 7 periods, yet still find time to help, or look over something with me... or anything like that.

so all i can say is shh. you all suck. goto a school with teacher's that care, and student's who want to learn. it will make a world of difference.

I don't know about you "Always", but I attend a private school aswell and I don't cheat. That's a big call to make... and frankly a wrong one too.

How could it be impossible for a private student to get a UAI of <75... :/

Obviously your teachers have been spending too much time with their cocks up your ass, because they've seemed to missed teaching spelling.

You may not cheat personally, but many private schools make ridiculous allowances.

Let me tell you what happened during the last set of hsc assessments.

A friend of mine did not turn up for her assessments because of a 'scratchy throat'. Her mother rang up the school in the morning saying her daughter 'couldn't possibly sit her exam that day'.

Is that fair? She was probably (definitely) at home getting a few extra days studying time. Is that not cheating?

I have friends at comprehensive high schools and their teachers CALL their doctors to confirm they genuinely were feeling poorly enough to miss an assessment. I'm assuming 'feeling poorly' would not include a bad throat.

I thoguht you were being hilarious about the cheating thing, but yeah, you can't 'cheat', but there are compromises. Calling up on the day of the exam and saying thats a bit ludicrous, but if you phone ahead I think its an alright call to make. And a bad throat can be pretty bad.

Because, you know, people aren't individuals and in control of their own results at all, right?

Yes, it is true. They chuck paper with names out of a bucket and the ones which go the furthest get a 100. Those in private schools get gold plates as opposed to paper, hence their plates going further, and hence them getting 100 UAIS, so in conclusion, urrite.

1/3 is a fuckload, I'm sure its not that high. Also, I am perplexed as to why you would need to reference to a public school student as a "normal average student".

I did not say all. But there a much greater proprtion of mothers and skanks in public schools than there are in private schools. But you know, I'm too ugly to have had sex, so I wouldnt know. Also, I dont intend to use a condom, must be my public school nature.

And the observatory, and the winemaking fields, and don't forget the 28 laptops in every room. Yes, I am digusted too. I wear public education on my sleeve everyweek against snobby private schools. The truth may hurt, but the fact of the matter is private schools have better students. I see you go to Patrician Brothers Fairfield, so you must be rolling around in some facilities while there are demountables collapsing at my local high school. I know you're looking for equality, but wake up to yourself, it unfortunately doesnt happen in this world. People are better than others, and im sure that its not their fault that they were exposed to dumbassness when they were young, but they grow up to dumbasses for sure. Private school students are even more dumbass because they need to prove that theyre "normal" by public standards and go long ways to do it. Inequality. It's all karma. To quote Danny Bhoy on Australians "Hard, but fair."

I've known her since kindergarten. I know her throat was barely any worse than usual.

I don't believe that you have to be rich to go to a private school. sure enough, theres scots school where u get the rich kids, but at mine, parents slave their asses off just to be able to afford for it - none of the parents have jobs like lawyers, doctors etc, theyre all farmers or teachers.
we're paying an average of $5000p.a. i know its $5000 more than what the public schools are paying.. but to say that you have to be of the high-socioeconomic level isn't true
