Sherrin and Greg on Early Schooling - 18 March 2013

GREG: A couple of interesting stories: Helen says, “I watched the 60 Minutes report, ‘Holding Them Back’ “and says, “I was very interested to hear the latest research suggest that if you send your children to school too early, they may never catch up. And that if they leave school too young, they will experience the pressure of their peers to drink underage and other pressures they may be not mature enough to handle.” Since I’d be keen to what Sherrin Gugenberger says about that. I respect her opinion. It is something we’ve talked about in the past, Helen, and I think it’s fair to say attitudes are probably changing.

SHERRIN: Good morning, Greg.

GREG: Yeah, that was an interesting piece last night. It is something you and I have talked about down the years. Holding your children back so they’re a little older or getting them into school younger. I think maybe going back 10, 20 years, even more, the idea was to get them in younger if possible, but that’s changing, isn’t it?

Greg: Monday we talked to the President of the teachers union, Kevin Bates on students out of control, throwing chairs swearing abusing teachers, we’ve heard that kind of stuff before I’ve replayed a little chat I had with a young teacher Daniele who had a student threaten her with a machete. So we’ve lost about six hundred million dollars In compensation given to teachers who have been injured by students it’s crazy, Kevin Bates also told us violence in communities increases and that’s then reflected in the schoolroom. It’s interesting to read this morning a classroom brawl between students at an all-girl school teachers and students struggled to contain the violence the principal of St. Patricks in Townsville confirmed that physical altercation had occurred between two students, our education analysts Sherrin Gugenberger from FRUITION TUITION is there, Hey Sherrin.
