It's back to school for almost 100,000 kids across the Hunter. More than 5000 will be in kindergarten, each one bright-eyed, curious, adorable. Parents have high expectations. Their children are as capable as the next. They want their kids to experience success, be happy with their achievements, set themselves up for the rest of their life.
In a country as wealthy as ours, these are reasonable expectations. Our education system should be delivering on them, but it isn't.
