People like you, Jolanda, are why the best people that COULD teach choose not to.

Your kids will get a rude awakening when they hit the real world. You are not owed anything by anyone. Neither are your kids. Life can be unfair, or seemingly unjust, teach your kids to work hard and move on.

Wow so a good teacher wouldn't want a parent to be involved in their children's education? A good teacher wouldn't expect a parent to bring up issues in relation to the treatment of their children and to complain if there were serious issues exposed.

What are you trying to tell me, that a good teacher would want a parent to tell their children to accept being neglected, bullied and treated unfairly. Go figure?

Jolanda

Well if your kids are not worried then why are you.

Surley the last thing they need at a time they are studying for their finals is more stress with mum still chewing the cud.

I thought you MAY find the advise given where to search helpful- but as usual -no thanks.




You have told us many times how effected these kids were- now according to you they are over it.

I hope so Jolanda but somethng tells me as soon as these kids leave school they will leave home too.

People have kids with cancer or who are deaf, blind etc.
For goodness sake think of something to do for others.

Teach your kids how lucky they are to be in Australia.

I think we are all over you Jolanda TBO

Jolanda,

You sound like a broken record.

You keep on starting threads on the same
topic re-hashed under different guises.
This time its under, "Freedom of Information."

Seeing as you don't take any of the advice
that posters have given you in the past -
myself included,
take Bronwyn's and Belly's very sound
advice - and move on.

Please.

Halo *Jolanda*

Poor darling. :-)

Of course, if yr claims are without "merit" or "vexatious" then it would be understandable that people may move on without comment, but not to brow beat or seek to oppress U.

Find a good on-line law dictionary within Australia and look up for a start "merit" and "vexatious."

If I were U I wld ignore the departments arguments. Just a waste of time at this stage. What is important is whether u have a "legal right" pursuant to NSW FOI legislation, assuming this is a state and not a federal matter and u r indeed in NSW. There are differences between the states and Federal FOI law.

http://www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/lawlink/adt/ll_adt.nsf/pages/adt_general_division#GD1

Therefore, follow the links that I quickly found to the FOI legislation and read it. Follow it thru step by step and cross reference what it is that u are actually asking for in relation to same. Also, make sure that u read the the Act as it was when u 1st applied for FOI. U will need to check the dates.

Mayhaps u seek information that is held by a guvment dept which is not a department excluded from the power of the FOI Act in question.

Take a look also at the State Attourney's web site. If like in WA and at a federal level, it will contain all the links u need plus more.

If u haven't already invoked the tribunal, I would suggest writing to the state ombudsman. They will make short work of belligerents and also help u by drawing yr attention to that which is relevant.

There is a culture of people in this country who predate upon the ignorance of others for their own financial and political advantage.

The GREENS also have lots of information on alleged grubby politicians and their dirty political deals with equally grubby private schooling interests.

...Adam...

Dream on it has already been established that my claims are not vexatious as I have a letter from the DET that clearly states that I have not been deemed vexatious by the DET or the Minister. My claims have merit.

We do have a legal right to documents under FOI in NSW but I am not sure exactly how much it covers and often it is also in an area where in essence precedents can be set. I can get the contracts from ACER but they do not want to show how much money is involved and of course they do not want to produce the audit. I know that they are required to produce Policy Documents and the like.

I have been researching and I understand about tenders but I just thought I might be lucky and somebody had some direct knowledge about these issues.

The Ombudsman is a joke, we have dealt with him before. He is just another level of cover up. He rubber stamps cover ups. Thanks again for your links and for your direction. I am starting my submissions so I will follow those links and see what I can find.
