(mod - please move this to the correct sub-forum if it shouldn't be here)

what do you think of the quality of teaching at different schools, i.e. selective, comprehensive and private etc

My school had a variation, the humanities were all excellent, English was spread out from excellent to shit, math was the same, science was similar, except physics was just shit.

I went to a partially selective school during 7-10. It was hell. This school I now go to is a public one, it is way better. But still not up to scratch with my standards. Probably because everyone bludged in Year 7-10.

 

[funnytomato]

the range of ranking as well is possible

okay, so is the ranking of the partially selective school still higher than the public one?

It only went up to Year 10. By hell I mean, no-one trying. Apparently the teaching quality in selective and public schools are the same. A person I know from Sydney Boys says their teacher is lazy and plays Call of Duty. Hence people from Sydney Technical say their teacher skips content.

No worries, anything for a delicious fruit.

would you say that private schools' teachers are more dedicated and have higher teaching quality?

I don't know many people that go to private schools. I would say it's roughly the same from what I have heard on the streets.

 

[maths lover]

well i go to a catholic school and we have some teachers who are authors. my maths teacher is a author and another teacher is a author who wrote book for geo, eco and business. but my physics teacher is horrible.

 

[funnytomato]

isn't the recruitment process of teachers at private schools different from that in public(selective and comprehensive) ones?
hence the quality of teachers is higher?

Social science department have teachers ranging from great all the way down to shit.

And in your grade, we all know that the teacher taking legal studies for year 11 is shit; I had him for modern last year

But nowadays, English and Maths teacher quality is dropping at our school

also by "way better", were you specifically talking about the quality of teaching or overall environment ?

Environment. It was noisy.

Good old days of rank 50 has now drifted away.

I suspect:

i) in Selective Schools, the students are selected but, save for a few exceptions. the teachers are not. In a few like Ruse, the pressure to deliver is so high that the non-performing teachers are weeded out or leave of their own accord before they are pushed.

ii) normal Public Schools - take whatever teachers they can get; the better ones can afford to be more selective.

iii) Independent Schools: the wealthier ones, like Sydney Grammar, Knox, Kings, Ascham can pay for the better teachers. So they have the money (like more successful corporations) to attract the better teachers - pay them better but in turn expect performance. So the better teachers, esp from the public schools, are poached by the wealthier schools. (John Howard's handouts to the private schools only make them wealthier)
