It'd be mighty hard to get the permission to home school unless your parent is a qualified teacher in Australia. Besides the kids need to know how to socialise and also deal with life's problems other people can give them. I am not saying being bullied is a good thing. I do think kids need experience against difficult people from a young age though.

The main thing bad about school nowadays is there is bugger  all discipline. If your kid Is bright and wants to succeed ... and the other kids just mess around and disrupt. The teachers are just about powerless to give adequate discipline to them. Can't even use the term "Naughty" etc.

NT Police have charged a Gapuwiyak "man"*BOONG* with murder following the death of a 21-year-old man over the weekend.

Detective Acting Superintendent Chris Board said the man, also 21, was charged with murder and being armed with an offensive weapon at night.

"Detectives will allege the men, both aged 21, were involved in an altercation in Gapuwiyak in the early hours of Saturday morning in which the victim received a stab wound,'' he said.

It's their shop. If they aren't there to buy stuff and if they aren't genuinely browsing with interest to buy.. then people have to watch them.. people have other stuff on their agenda all day. They were asked to leave and they wouldn't go quietly. That is disorderly conduct on the African's part!
