Homeschooling In Perth

I know his is a stupid question but I would prefer one that didn't care about school shoes aslong as there black because my old one gave me detention all the time for wearing black vans! First best answer the names a school or schools gets best answer.

About the Stolen Generation....Australian Aboriginals?

As you can see by some of the answers you've received so far, racial bigotry is alive and well and living here on YA. As a member of another type of "stolen generation" I was adopted during the baby snatch era of the 60's and 70's........I totally disagree with those idiots Bingalee and Mulga, I would hate to think that their opinions are taken as a general view held by Australians, its not. There never was, and never will be, any justification for stealing children from the parents who gave birth to them. No, I wasn't taught about the stolen generation in school, Im in my 40's, it was all brushed under the carpet. What I know about the subject I have learned by research and in homeschooling my teenage daughter. That anyone could be of the opinion that child stealing is ok amazes me, the colour of your skin or cultural heritage has nothing to do with your ability to love and raise your children. Just because their lifestyle was different to the white way of doing things didnt make them wrong and the crimes committed against the stolen generation, or for that matter those of us affected by the baby snatch era, where young single women were considered to be mentally and morally deficient if they became pregnant, can NEVER be adequately compensated for.
Edit: Just wanted to add that alcohol would not have been an issue for the Aboriginal people if us bloody arrogant white people hadnt introduced it to them in the first place!!

Why do americans always ask dumb questions about australia?

The educational system in the United States is in horrible shape.
Basic geography is not taught here. We continue to give more money to the educational system and the results have been dreadful.
I have seen educational materials from one hundred years ago and they were far more advanced . More was expected. My grandparents had only a grade school education but grade school is about equivalent to what highschool is now. Students on the slow track don't have to take electives like geography or world history. They let you graduate with general mathematic skill level.
It is ridiculous.
Yes, we have been an egocentric country but even with this , the real problem is with a major need for educational restructuring. When George Bush was in , he tried to raise the standards and give more money to schools who performed well. This was overturned by the new adminstration. We go one step forward and one back. I didn't vote for George Bush but it was the one thing he did that I felt might have been helpful .
If you have a poor family environment, it is true your parents might be on crack or drunk and they are certainly not going to check your homework. The problem is that better teachers often do not want to teach in these districts for safety concerns. In spite of all the ripping on home teadching, these students do better scholastically in most cases. This is without the five thousand per student budget that we paid from our city taxes. If you kid can read and knows where Australia is , thank a homeschooling Mom. My kid went to Australia and New Zealand for three weeks when she was fifteen . It was her choice. She knows something about the country.
Sorry , for the stupid.
