No ideological agenda? Just who are the education unions kidding?

Dear Kevin,

You have answered a question with a demand (or was it a question?).

But thank you for the opportunity to show you mine before you show me yours. How about we continue by you answering my question about which years you taught?

Trust me, I will respond in kind.

Incidentally, It’s Sir Vivor, not Sir Ivor. My English-teaching uncle would have spotted the pun, I’m sure.

Yours faithfully,

From the website of Hardie Grant, the publishers of Dr Donnelly's forthcoming book about educational and academic matters:

"We do not publish poetry, educational, academic or children’s books."
(source: http://www.hardiegrant.com.au/html/indexbooks.html)

QED.

Hi Mercurius,

Not too sure what point you are trying to make. The book is not an academic one or one written as a textbook - more for the general public.

I've signed a contract and the book is at the publishers being proof read.

Make sure you buy a copy next year.
