Is private school really worth the fees, or does a state education provide the same opportunities? In this episode I sat down with Katrina to explore one of the biggest debates in education…
And just as we finish off, I wanted to know if there's one thing you want parents to sort of take away from our discussion.
What would it be? What's that one thing you want parents, or even not parents, just anyone to really take on board in regards to our discussion? What would that be?
I would say do your due diligence when making a decision.
If that decision is open to you, obviously, a lot of people can't afford it.
Do due diligence.
Look at the school.
Really probe it.
And again, think about those outcomes.
What do you want for your kid? Think about the impact that it's going to have on your family as well going forward before you make that decision.
And also, lastly... is if private school isn't on the cards, you're not doomed, which some people believe, you know, oh my gosh, I can't do it.
No, you are absolutely not doomed.
Your child can be the best they can be.
Your child can maximise their potential.
You as a parent, I think, play more of a role in your child's development than any institution.
So solidify that.
And as we're seeing, they can still get to, if you want them to, you don't have to, if you want them to go to Uxbridge, then they can still go to Uxbridge.
It's definitely possible.
