Foxy,

Good for you. My family is the same. Unfortunately we are a rarity these days.

ttbn,

Thank You.

I'm glad to hear that your family is the same.

I thought the deputy's fear of a return of activists was a bit wet. Principals have the power to bar people from entering school grounds, including troublesome parents. Failure to observe a ban leads to police intervention and prosecution.

I also thought that it was the education department, overseen by the Minister, that set curricula, not blacktivists.

Foxy,

I forgot to ask. In what way did your examination of the Quadrant article put a "different light" on the matter?

I see parents at my kid's school, and I feel sorry for the kids that get little help from their parents.

Parents are probably as important as teachers.

My daughter knows all about communism and liberal democracy, and has learned a lot from You Tube, and my occasional lectures.

I wonder how many read Quadrant these days.

ttbn,

I'm not questioning the validity of Frank Salter's
concerns for his son's education. After reading the
man's letter - I would like to know more about the
curriculum and what it's purpose and aim was.
What did the curriculum hope to achieve and what
was its connection to the teaching of English?
