Conniebygaslight Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 When it is sports day at our school it inevitably RAINS!!! The lack of competitive sport in schools in the UK is a joke. For non-academic kids, some form of competitive sport may be the only positive thing they get out of schooling, and to prohibit that is a big shame for them. I will find out in due course about the Australian system. My experience of nieces and nephews in NSW is that it can get a bit much at times. Absolutely it does seem to be from one extreme to another-hey drag the little 4 year old across the field-the 6 year olds are doing high/long jumps every sort of sport you can imagine. I was really impressed with this at first until I went to be a helper in the school...the teachers care more about who's winning the footy than who can count or read.! (and that's the female one's):huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Ropey HOFF Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Heres my 10 PIO quoted reasons for not going to OZ. 1. Its too hot and when its not hot its too cold. 2. Crimes worse than the uk. 3. ALL Australians are racist and hate Poms. 4. Sharks, crocs, snakes and spiders are definately gonna kill you. 5. The Aussies are ALL Boguns. 6. Theres NO culture. 7. You can't get a big sized house anymore because they are too dear. 8. ALL Aborignes are criminals and drunks. 9. Education is rubbish, years behind the UK. 10. Theres no jobs in Australia, its a myth. Fortunately i don't believe any of this rubbish and having been twice now i have to say i think Australia is the best country in the world, but i can't have an opinion because i don't live there, so just ignore what i have said.

Guest guest36762 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 The only 'romance' most Aussies that I knew in England were after was a bunk-up with a willing Kiwi after a big session down the nearest Walkabout! not forgetting the Contiki tour-every young Aussie's 'education' about the beauty, complexity and history of Europe....as seen from a bus full of pissed up 'Strayans doing moonies at each other, and having as much drunken sloppy nookie as possible.....CLASSSSS!
