What are the selection criteria? Over here there is a state exam at the end of primary (eight years) and high school places are allocated to kids based on results/points matched to the points required per school based on supply and demand. There are also regional competitions in Polish, English and Maths where kids who do well are granted an exemption and can pick whatever school they like. A complete rat race. HoweverâŚkids living in a particular part of town are entitled to a place in the local school in their part of town. But all the âgoodâ schools are in the city centre, hence the rat race. A number of schools have a boarding facility to accomodate kids who live out in the country.
Different schools have different criteria. Our issue is we bought a gaff in a new estate. Both local schools are oversubscribed and have us down as outside their catchment. Each kid gets a form to pick their favourite but thats no guarantee. If you get a place, lots of parents sit on it as a guarantee until they get a place in the school of their choice. Itâs like being in a chain to buy a house, but youâre very far down the chainâŚ

Rascalâs birthday party yesterday. We went bowling. I was throwing a bowl and felt a little bump behind me on the backswing. Looked around and there was the 3 year old running away. She had ran up behind me and got hit smack on the mouth with the bowl. Small bit of blood but she was inconsolable for the whole party which is unlike her as she has a long history of bumps and scrapes. On the way out then she got her fingers caught in the door. She says sheâs fine but we caught her looking in the mirror this morning and feeling it. Badly swollen. She canât eat either. I feel awful bad.
