Is government control of the education system a desirable "reform"

[poddster]

The question is, should government influence our education systen?

When governmet says it wants the same opertunities for every child is it really saying that it wants uniformity in education , such as what is being taught and how it is being taught.?

Is it better to have diversity in education as to what and how kids are educated?

What sort of involvement with the Gonski review did you have?

What sort of involvement with the Gonski review did you have?

I've asked many questions in this thread, none of which I believe have been answered, so perhaps you would answer this question for me....

How many recommendations were implemented from the Ipp Report and the vast number of "experts" that were consulted in its preparation, and of the ones that were implemented, to what degree were they implemented?

There is a VAST difference between Policy Documents, reality and Legislation.

Kazza, perhaps you can add the volumes listed in post #173 to you vast library that contains 51,000 papers on "global warming" and when you get bored of manipulating the marionettes you could increase your immense knowledge of the meaning of life, the universe and everything.:)

By the way it is not 42 :^O

Is it 7?

If you follow the socially accepted and legal protocols and disagreed with what was said, then yes. It's called an Appeal, or so I believe.....

I'm sure that you have at least heard of the movie "The Castle" if you have not seen it. Whilst I believe that the movie itself is fiction, the legal principles clearly display that one can in fact question authority, when done in an appropriate manner.

Why are you going on about my posts, which are simply a simple answer to the OP's question he/she directed at me.

I wasn't at the Supreme Court for a court case either.

7,followed by 13 and 4  are my favorite numbers.

Superbly done karen and I verily believe it is 7!

And that is why you don't know what you are talking about. You are not interested in anyone's view unless it agrees with yours.

Um.. no. that is not how it works and not how I work.. there are no rules here (or on any other forum)t hat says you must read every post, especially if you start to read one and think they are of no interest.. best to skip on by.

I am interested in the OP's posts (if they are on topic).
