MySchool Website

There has been a lot of debate over the merits of the MySchool website. It is my belief that it provides parents with the opportunity to establish, at least in the basics of education, how the school their children are attending is performing. This is particularly important for parents who are paying exorbitant fees for private schools so as to determine whether this significant investment is paying dividends for their children.

Why the uproar, I ask, especially from the Australian Education Union? Vested interest is sometimes thinly disguised, is it not?
