This is something close to home for me, I have 3 boys, the education system doesn’t seem to cater to a lot of boys.

    Thanks for the reply.

    I am quite passionate about education, I also have 3 young boys so I’m biased toward quality education for boys, that we seem to be failing at.

      Yeah, I can understand that. There’s a young boy in my family and I really don’t want him to be disadvantaged by the system.

      Not sure what it’s like now, but when I was working I got the impression that the secondary system was setting up some people to fail. We really needed more equitable teaching across deciles.
