Still in the HSC

It's 2:08am, Extension Engish is technically tomorrow and I thought I'd type up something quickly.

I just finished watching all 8 episodes of Chris Lilley's Summer Heights High, and it had me thinking about the state of government-funded public schools. More specifically, thinking about Lilley's character Jonah, should academic excellence and intellectual progress be prioritised above an individual's emotional and social development? Does one lead to another? And why does the same schooling system produce different students?
