You do, but it is heavily subsidized so doesn't cost anything like it does here. Just as an example, the most expensive private school in Ireland, St. Columba's College, cut its fees from €12,426 to €8,000 recently for day pupils.Dahon wrote:

The majority of Americans go to free public schools, and they can be quite good and even rival private schools. The suburbs of DC in Virginia are a great example of free, top tier high schools.

No, but You hint at how we pay. What is the price for housing in D.C? In England, they are more direct and simply let You purchase the education for money.Miguelito wrote:You mean because of taxes?Dahon wrote:

In Sweden it is absolutely forbidden for any elementary or high school to charge for money, all schools get a standard payment from the state per pupil,
somewhat compensated for how many problem children You accept. The U.S. seems to be in the middle.
But in order to get into the good schools with good results and much fever children with a psychiatric diagnosis, You typically have to live close since
all schools prioritize local kids first and the best schools are always heavily booked. This means You have to buy expensive housing in these areas. Due
to the last 10 years of putting out a fire with gasoline (unlimited credit), this means You have to be able to put the downpayment on the table and be
considered economically viable by the bank, effectively segregating people by wealth. The richest parents get the best schools for their kids.
So, this is how we pay for education, not by school fees but indirectly. I guess the rest of the EU plus the commonwealth is pretty much the same.

Geography only 30%? That's terrible isn't it? I bet they know ther way around The Phillipines though. What is the standard in The Philipines better schools?
I assume there are still some Filipino teachers left in the country.

For those who are talking about the high quality of education at Northbridge, my experience is that it is only good if the student is motivated. I occasionally teach a class in website development at a very expensive ($1000 per course per 11 week term) college here. Most of my students are from ISPP and Northbridge, but I have also had them from other "international schools" and the better regarded public high schools like Sisowath. The latter are just as well-educated as any of the private school kids, and in some cases more so. (They also had outside English classes and possibly tutors, I believe.) I had one Northbridge graduate who could not do even the simplest algebra--literally one variable equations along the lines of "What is x, if 4x = 1024?" He said he made As and Bs in algebra at Northbridge by bribing his teacher. His best friend confirmed it.

Khmer teaching assistants I believe. Possible they changed the grades, who knows. The main thing with Northbridge is that I believe it's now owned by Anglia, but Royal Group have taken over majority shares. This means that the majority owners are still Khmer with all that obviously brings. Rich kids, corruption everywhere so on. I've heard similar stories from a few teachers unhappy with management. The parents of such kids got to where they are through the same techniques, so it's no surprise that they just buy their way through life. In contrast, I've never heard about such things happening at ISPP, which isn't Khmer owned or managed.
