Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Just ask the new Minister for Educay-shun !!

No, definitely not the case in Italy. There are of course grants, concessions etc. for low income families and such (cough, cough). Me & my wife are both earning and so we paid the full whack for...

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Maybe because of the tendency towards sociology, psychology and so on, and also the integration of the 'linguistico'.

The one we had here didn't have Latin/Greek as compulsory so that was also a...

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.
