School reform......what a joke! Still moms and dads are paying for all school products that should be payed by the Governments....but that order would of came from the Howard World.
Why are the tax payers forced to pay for Pens,paper,rulers,fee,s,books and these are state ruined/runned schools? The truth is...the upper leveled workings people don't want your children mixing with that they call....the righteous ones. Struggeling tax/payers are bleeding at the gills for what should be for free to all Australians....and if not...you PIGS tell me why? And its a fair country.....lol.....Australia!......What a crock of you know what. BLUE Posted by Deep-Blue, Friday, 7 January 2011 11:44:59 PM

And now for something completely different...here are a couple of articles on Finland's education system.

Poirot, good ones. I've seen them before, and they made me cry when I thought of how wilfully stupid our state-territory and Commonwealth education ministers are.
The truth is, as those US articles I posted say, that 'education' is just another industry to be mined for profits. Education, if it were delivered to the masses, would upset the status quo, so instead we get child-minding and coercion. Posted by The Blue Cross, Monday, 10 January 2011 9:57:00 AM

The final paragraph is interesting.
Also an article on former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Education, Diane Ravitch and her u-turn criticising "the "No Child Left Behind" act in American education.
