Description:
Why is it that the middle class is deserting public schools for private schools? What is the private sector offering students that state schools now don't? It's not just about money. What has gone wrong with the once-excellent state system and why are governments failing to stop the drift? Joanna Mendelssohn, in this examination of what has happened to Australian education, draws upon her own experience as a parent facing the dilemma: Which school? In this book, Mendelssohn argues that national priorities must be urgently reconsidered and suggests an agenda for change beyond the orthodoxies of left and right to focus on children, training and teaching quality, extra curricula value, flexibility and accountability to parents.
