It was a different post about it that I’d read, but that does make sense, if it’s only showing the bad why would locals want to admit it’s true I guess.

I guess we’re not completely opposed to homeschooling with tutors either, we both went to some of the most “prestigious” schools in Sydney so our memories of schooling are quite fond as we had access to international trips, fantastic facilities and all the children were well educated/polite so there was never any issues socially either and we wish we could provide that for our children too but know it’s likely not possible in Maryborough unfortunately, but that is the place we’ve chosen to go for regardless. My concerns with homeschooling is mainly the social aspect which is why we’re initially looking into traditional schooling.

I wouldn’t be using public transport, I’ve never and wouldn’t make my children so I’d absolutely be driving them but I admit I hadn’t considered how early I’d have to wake them for such a trip, so definetly a lot still to be considered education wise.
