Would you place your child in a govt school? If not, why not? I think the main reasons why not would be: 1. Quality of teaching 2. Status 3. English language obsession Response to these reasons: 1. People think that teachers are not doing their job well. But not sure why parents don't pressure schools for a better standard of teaching. Considering the relatively better pay govt school teachers get, shouldn't they be doing a better job? 2. This should not be a factor 3. This should not be a factor Edit: for clarification
