Not every parent can afford this privileged education for their children, nor should they be expected to, and Danny this is a first on this forum for me, to support the private education system, not all private schools have the best academic results, but these basic standards of behavior weren’t maintained through retaining or reintroducing CP, waving a big stick, beating a few bums, these old fashion values, discipline, and pride in appearance never diminished as in-state school, theyre expected, achieved, maintained and cost nothing, Those to be in the powers of state education, would do well to study why children in these private schools top in the behavior stakes and retain such high standards, model a few state schools on their methods on a trial experimental basis, see if improvements in standards are achieved then reinstate across the board.
