墨尔本精英女校MLC被家长各种吐槽!(一年学费3万多澳币结果成绩还排不进维州前20)

维州高考成绩放榜不久，墨尔本一所知名私立女子学校因学生成绩不理想而遭学生家长痛批“搞精英主义与任人唯亲”。

部分学生家长近日在社交网站“脸谱”（Facebook）上创建了一个页面，发文指责位于Kew的卫理公会女子学校（MLC）“搞精英主义与任人唯亲”。

文章写道：“很不幸，在过去4年里，MLC并不重视学生成绩与培养学生自强自立的精神，反而大搞精英主义和任人唯亲那一套，这种管理方式更适合1917年而不是2017年。”

据悉，这所学校每年的学费约为3万元，但自2011年以来，该校从未进入全州最佳学校前20名，当时该校的名次为第19。

据创建“脸谱”页面的学生家长透露，“考试成绩是衡量学生知识掌握情况的客观指标，但这所学校连续3年表现落后，现在是时候做出点改变了。”

Methodist Ladies’ College parents accuse Kew school of ‘elitism and cronyism’

ONE of Melbourne’s top private girls’ schools has been accused of “elitism and cronyism” in an anonymous Facebook page set up by disgruntled parents.

The school, Methodist Ladies College in Kew, has been attacked by parents for slipping in the VCE academic rankings.

“Unfortunately, academic results and self reliance has taken second place at MLC over the past four years to elitism and cronyism; philosophies more suited to 1917 not 2017,” the post put up on December 20 reads.

The school, which includes actor Cate Blanchett as a past student, came number 38 in VCE rankings this year. Despite fees of nearly $30,000 a year, it hasn’t been in the top 20 since 2011.

The school has had a relatively quiet public profile since the dramatic sacking of former principal Rosa Storelli in 2012, which saw parents and old scholars picket the school.

The father who set up the Facebook page spoke to the Herald Sun, but did not want to be named in order to protect his daughter who is in the junior secondary school.

“The academic results are an objective measurement of how the girls are performing,” he said. “It’s more than one year of average results; when there’s three years in a row, there’s something up”.

The father, whose family has been involved with the school for three generations, said he was not associated with Ms Storelli, although he did call her a “superstar”.

“People have had enough of all the politics and corporate-speak,” he said.

The post says “action needs to be taken forthwith to restore academic excellence and egalitarianism to MLC”.

“In addition, the architects of this disaster and their cronies must be held to account for their hubris, mismanagement and the effect their politicking has had on the students over the past 4 years,” it reads.

Another post on the Facebook page, MLC Stakeholders Action Group, highlighted changes to the school’s uniform policy and said students objected to being monitored by “Traitor” students at the school gates.

Diana Vernon, the school’s principal could not be contacted for comment and the chairman of the board, Tony Peake, declined the opportunity to comment. A source on the school board said concerns about academic results were not shared broadly in the school community.

The Facebook page received 36 likes and had 47 followers as of Thursday afternoon.
