Getting into John Curtin College of the Arts

No, no you misunderstand. I didn't say you were overbearing, that was more just a cautionary comment. Well good that's the way it should be I suppose. I mean JC was awesome and I think it's drama program is definitely as good as people say and you wont find one in the public school system that can rival it. The Academic side can be annoying I got into some G&T classes(for maths, science etc.) But I found in Soce and English where I wasn't in the top tier I was surrounded by people who like me would rather socialise then work which was bad. I was just not really ready for it and I did have discipline issues there. I had too much freedom in a system I did not enjoy so naturally it would lead to me abusing it. I was a student councilor and I had a lot of fun there. I did come across awfully negative now I look back. Yes it's a good school but like everything had it's issue. Me and it did not mix but for quiet a few people it was excellent. No school's ever going to lead to everyone succeeding but only your daughter will be able to tell if it's the right fit for her. Oh that's ok I can understand how you may have felt defensive after the appeared jibe of being overbearing. But yes that was the tale of JC for me. It was five years ago now, and they have recently become independent yes? so I imagine it's a vastly different landscape now. It's not a Wolf, It's an Alaskan Malamute.
