I think they'll still be relevant in 100 years. They're wonderfully timeless in the way they show people with the best of intentions gradually being corrupted.

That is one of the finest traditions of the British Civil Service: creative inertia (professional staling), perfected over centuries.

@ValiantVendetta They have to be better. It's not like they are guaranteed students, like the state-sponsored school monopoly is. If a private school does not maintain standards, it goes out of business.

@DrCruel Catholic schools in Australia usually have much better facilities, current technology and a safer environment for your child to study in. I attended public and private schools in the UK and Australia... the private schools were better in both countries.

EXETERMINATE!!!

[MajBlood]

I have to agree with Jim here.

@gnrrrg Certainly, of course. That's why rich parents pay enormous tuitions to send their kids to private schools - because these institutions inflate grades so that the parents think their children are doing well. That of course doesn't explain why public school teachers send their kids to private school - about one in five, last time I checked.

Parents can choose what their kids eat and what doctors they go to. But they mustn't be allowed to choose amongst teachers. The world would end.

@psychodave0 Where I live, there's teachers queued up to get teaching positions. The choice is mostly made on the basis of social connections and perceived union loyalty.

But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe our public school teachers are not the sort of self-interested twits I've had in my experience. Let's have a national school voucher program, so that parents can have a choice about which of these "excellent teachers" to employ. Then we'd get to the bottom of our present public education mess.

@togashiayame It's like saying one has to be a thief before speaking out against crime.
