RE: Which school is the best? Public state or private independent?
I am a mom for 35 years and if it comes to schools the end is still not near.
I have seen them all so far and they all suck and lie and teachers nowadays are dumber as the kids. They can hardly write and count themselves and do not care about the pupils.
In the Netherlands there are 3 types of common schools:
- Catholic
- Christian
- Non religion
Number one should have the highest score if it comes to great students. No. 3 the lowest.
Scores at city schools are higher as in the country.
Generally speaking you have to send your kid to the school in the area you are living.
It is hard to switch if your kid is bullied (teachers are great bullies too) to an other school. Most schools do not like to be pissed off by the new school of your choice, the old school will have lost of income and will try to boycott.
How to switch school?
✔Try a special one (Montessori, Free school or very religious one),
✔Find a principal that does not care about being threatened,
✔Threaten back/go to court
✔Leave the country/find a school abroad.

Hello @wakeupkitty, your school set up is very similar to Australia. I call the Montessori and Stein schools the alternative ones. I hate bullying of any kind and nothing is worse than a teacher bullying a child. School wise I worked in the system as did my husband who was a principal. So I saw life from 2 different perspectives but I was a mother first and foremost. This helped me be extremely emphatic with parents who were experiencing school related problems, I did what I could to help.
I wonder if it is still fun to be a teacher. My daughter says her class-teacher is afraid of the other teacher to stand for what is right.
What annoys me most is the fact teachers are very low educated, are not able to think outside the box, find ways to explain things in an other way and really hate kids with an opinion of their own and who are smarter.
Frequently those who are teaching do not even have their papers.

Does not having papers the same as not having qualifications wakeupkitty? This is definitely not right. What a nightmare for kids to have teachers like this? It is a definite must to be qualified and registered with the Board of Education in order to teach in Australia.
Yes it does. It is a low budget solution for schools.
Students or family of teachers asked to do the job for less or free. Every few hours an other person or every few months.
I am sure you have to registrated here too, but?
If parents write to the schoolinspection nothing happens. That makes one wonder.

Wow, I am stunned, that is horrifying to hear. I understand what you mean by 'unqualified teachers' not being smart. How do they get away with it?
I have no idea what tricks school play to make this possible. If schoolinspection does not care there is no reason for the school to change.
