By Kevin Donnelly, published 11/7/2006

Confused about the conflict that is raging between traditional and student-centred teaching in schools?

Yet in spite of the above uttered Professor-Messel's words of enlightenment, by-hook or by-crook the most comprehensive corruption of the youngsters mind perseveres on-a-mass in the Ghetto Australis. Just as in good old-days of the earliest elders-of-zion instigated cunning campaign, to invoke an-innate tribal primitive-instincts of envy, culminating often in a brutal-bullying. Utilised to divide and conquer goy-n-shiksa duped fools, under the "rule by the best" on the planet earth (due to the almighty chosen Jew aristocracy, since time immemorial). Which not meant for any derogatory manners acrimony, under racist exploits. As our Jew-lesser brethren sustained enough of the collateral ravage fallout consequences.

What was snugly disguised towards the 21st century via scapegoated cliché under "tall-poppy" syndrome's façade. Just to excuse for premeditated king-hit riddled manifestations, all along the adherence to the local folklore motto: SHOOT ANYTHING MOVING AND CHOP ANYTHING GROWING. No wonder when some were indoctrinated not-to-think for themselves, but solely conditioned for the laidback predisposition. Reflected in a once popular lingo: "steady as she goes"..."she'll be right mate"..."near enough, is good enough"... and so forth parodied deliverance.

As a result many of desensitised minds weren't geared-up to-grasp consequently that cuckoo-nest incubated rulers or preachers could have had a bloody chutzpah to distort-truths so incredibly. Especially pertinent with a colonial patronage on-mind, who envisaged that no Aussie bloke or sheila ever-to-realise their true predicament in the Ghetto Australis. Whilst overshadowed we are by the most bizarre cretinism, unleashed under tyrannical oppression siege. Where no-reward to-excel or appreciation given for the role-model-citizens within the created apartheid via deliberate IR elimination procedures in place.

Arranged by subversive institutional cliques for our surrender into malignant buffers. Set to eradicate entirely our conscientious dissent of genuinely devoted professionals. No wonder as imbeciles lot were nurtured with a carte-blanche, whilst incorruptible souls of the genuine mortals to-endure devious wrath. Still, so many of ill-informed minds failed even to-realise what hit them indeed. Without expecting in the wildest dream to face such a nightmare of the utterly insidious act.

For an eye opener proceed to the diminished democracy exposé ... http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?article=4625#47660

One has only to read, ever so cursorily, the comments to this article, to know why we need people like you, ready to challenge the education flummery that passes for curriculum and intellectual piursuit in the schools in this country.

As someone has said, if you want to find the last vestiges of soviet Marxism, just lokk in the staff rooms of our Universities and public schools!

Hmm. Have you actually looked, Simon Templar, or are you just trading off a cheap and lazy stereotype?

Some people clearly believe that the average Australian school-teacher bicycles home from their kiddy-Marxist indocrination classes to hang out with the collective munching on tofu burgers, watching SBS and painting posters for the next anti-war rally.

Actually, the average Australian school-teacher drives their 12-year old car home to their mortgaged house (capitalist running-dog landowners that they are!), perhaps picking up the kids on the way, cooks dinner (sausages again), and maybe marks some homework before heading in for an early night in front of prime-time TV.

Yep, a real hot-bed of radicalism, these staff-rooms.

You'd better go and check again for some Reds under the bed, Simon; you've a greater chance of finding them there.

Keep up the good work Kev,

As a WA teacher I could not agree more with your summation of the the ill-concieved Curriculum Framework "The WA Curriculum framework says it is not a syllabus as such and that its primary focus is on outcomes. Once again, the focus is on developing new age attitudes, dispositions and values, such as inclusivity, collaboration and partnership, flexibility and environmental responsibility to the detriment of giving students a solid foundation in academic subjects."
The CF focusses entirely on a bunch of jargon-laden outcomes and very little on any actual knowledge.
Science comes from the latin word "Scientia" which means knowledge.
Science is a body of knowledge that can be learned in many different ways but in the end the concepts must be learned and understood before they can be applied or used to argue a case of any kind (which the trendy ethics outcomes makes essential).
This is the failure of OBE in WA (and everywhere else). No emphasis is based on learning anything specific and in the end students, parents and teachers are unsure of what is expected of them.
It was this criticism that caused the failure of the new OBE style courses of study to be introduced into WA senior schools and until a decent syllabus and assessment procedure is created it is why they will continue to fail.
