I agree with you, the whole school system should be Aust wide not state by state, they are supposed to be working on bringing it all together – won’t hold my breath waiting.

it is quite silly to have different schooling systems

I totally agree that it should be standard for the entire country – but so should a few things (like rego)!

As an ex-Army brat (4 primary schools and 2 high schools in 3 different states) and an ex-teacher (I’m now a SAHM), I know first-hand your frustrations. The Federal Government have tried to introduce a standardised curriculum across the country, but there have been hiccups galore in its introduction. Unfortunately, until the bureaucrats start actually listening to those on the ‘front lines’, rather than deciding how and what should be taught in our schools (with the last time they’d entered a classroom being when they were at school themselves), this problem will not go away.
All I can suggest is that if you feel that your children are falling behind, get a tutor. Most tutors are either Educations students, or past/current teachers.

every state is so different …

Yep is hard to believe but there must be some political reason behind these. Even cars need to be re-registered or some sort when you gone to a different state even tho is the same country…. I find that amusing coming from overseas.

I agree with you and it must be hard on you all. It should be the same all over

I am a teacher and parent who has the same opinion, I just had this conversation with another teacher.

my kids have only been to one school . this must be hard

It Is Very Confusing, And It Would Be Great If We Could Get One System Going,

Hang in there! All the best to you!
