Too bad they don't want to cover the rural kids who must be home schooled in small towns. I think i have mentioned this under a lot of topics but i'm feeling really lost. I just want my stepsons to get a quality education because they are super intelligent and don't need to spending their lives on disability because no one would accommodate their needs at the regular high school.

Well, we've had some hiccups with my son's preschool.  Now that he's got the big-bad-ASD label, they'll only allow him to attend a maximum of 25 hours per week.

But alas, I do not live in Sydney.

@newinoz - I suspect Channel Teen's travel budget is pretty small.  Tongue out

I always wondered why they don't just interview over our webcams or the like.  Photo quality is not great but mostly they want impact of peoples reactions and the words and that comes over OK for me. I can never tell how it comes across to others of course.

Well, sometimes they do.  Usually on the proper news broadcast, not the tabloid trash shows like ACA, TT, and The 7pm Project.  For them, nothing says good hard-hitting journalism like chasing you down with a camera crew!  Laughing
