这个是2010年的报道了, 这个孩子经历了私校和精英中学, 并且拒绝了父母再把他转去私校的提议. 如果有ＴＸ有更多相关信息，请更多分享． 先谢谢了．
孩子有能力上精英而家长特别想让孩子去私校的, 或许可以和孩子好好讨论再做决定...

A DECISION about where 15-year-old Roland Warner should go to school was settled by the My School website last week.
His father, Peter, was set on sending Roland to an elite Sydney private school until Roland produced school rankings taken from the federal government's My Schools website to argue his case for staying at his selective high school.
In a letter to the editor, Roland said the school rankings, which placed Normanhurst Boys High School 14th in the state, had helped him convince his father against taking him out of the school.
''My dad was about to pull me out of Normanhurst Boys High School and send me to a posh expensive private school. But with The Sydney Morning Herald list, I was able to convince him not to send me to a worse school,'' he wrote.

''Students of good schools deserve to be told that they are at one of the top schools in the state. Parents have had the wool pulled over their eyes for too long. Ivy-covered buildings and a well-watered oval do not make a good school.''
Roland's father, who is an architect, said he and his wife, Zhang Dao Hua, a medical doctor, had been keen on sending his son to the private school.
Mr Warner said Roland had attended another private primary school but left because ''he said he didn't want to be around rich dumb kids''.
''I've been overruled,'' he said.
''He is a strong-willed person and he thinks about things very carefully.''
Roland said that the private school he attended during his primary years had ''very good facilities, but the other kids weren't particularly bright''. ''I liked the resources, but I've come to realise that being around good students who are roughly at my level is better than having good facilities.''
After completing the Higher School Certificate, Roland said he would like to study medicine or law or go into a construction business.

不，谢谢，我宁愿去公校 －－网站数据影响学生的决定
家长否决... Normanhurst男孩的学生罗兰华纳使用“我的学校”网站，谈他的父亲送他一个“豪华”的私人学校。
上周， 15岁的罗兰·华纳根据“我的学校”网站信息，决定自己应该去哪里上学。
他的父亲，彼得，打算让他上悉尼精英私立学校，而罗兰罗兰根据联邦政府的“我的学校”网站信息，认为在他的情况下，应该选择继续留在精英中学校。
在给编辑的信中，罗兰说，Normanhurst男孩高中学校的排名第14，帮助他说服了父亲，避免了转学。
“我爸爸要把我从Normanhurst男孩高中，转去一个豪华昂贵的私立学校。但根据“悉尼先驱晨报”名单，我说服了他不要送我去一个稍差的学校＂，他写道，“好学校的学生应该被告知他们是在一个国家的顶尖学校。家长们有时被一些东西蒙住了眼睛，拥有好的设施的学校不一定就是一个好的学校。
罗兰的父亲是一名建筑师，他和他的妻子，张道华，医生，一直热衷于送儿子到私立学校。
华纳先生说，罗兰曾参加另一所私立小学上学，但离开，因为他说，他并不想和富人家的孩子扎堆''。
“我已经被否决，''他说。
“他是一个意志坚强的人，他非常仔细地考虑的事情。＂
罗兰说，他参加的私人学校设施很好，但其他的孩子不是＂特别聪明”。 “我喜欢那里的设施，但我已经认识到，对于我来说，好的同伴比好设施更重要。＂
完成高中毕业证书后，罗兰说，他想学习医学或法律，或进入建筑行业 |
