Unless you have sat in a room with a father in tears begging his child to attempt the work "because you don't want to end up like me" I am uninterested in your abstract theories about market forces, or your undermining of the approaches that are most likely to work for most kids.
If you had 10 minutes in a room with senior executives in your Education Department, what Inclusive Ed reform would you pitch to them? (I'm stuck on "opening up system data to researchers" but that's a long term tool not something that will see outcomes in the next 3 years.)

Australia - one of most socially segregated school systems in the world. We are second worst in the OECD for the increasing concentration of disadvantaged students in disadvantaged schools. Our system uses public money to turbocharge inequalities."

Constructivism is a theory of learning and NOT of teaching. So let's teach the learners first before we ask them to construct meaning. And to be able to do that, they need background knowledge EXPLICITLY taught to them.

An excellent thread of resources for building more inclusive schools.
1. #InclusiveEducation is about 💥every 💥student, no exceptions, including kids who have complex support requirements. Here are some of my favourite resources to help you understand how this can be achieved
Can we try funding schools based on need now? I think we've worked out that giving more to those who already have plenty doesn't improve anything. theguardian.com/education/20…

#Shitweasel, who is going to pay and compensate them for their loss, a loss based on a manufactured lie. Will you and #BroStewie and the rest of you grifters pay out of your own pocket?

Great questions for people writing policies across the board, not just those involving reading instruction.

Kerry O'Brien: "I shake my head at the irresponsibility, shallowness and self-serving nature of people who are trying to use this [#Voice] referendum for their own political gain or to support their own prejudices. And I have contempt for people who deliberately and consciously spread lies in order to destroy this referendum." #VoteYesAustralia #VoteYes

The RBA has done it again, hiking interest rates to an 11 year high.
Business groups will be keen to blame wages, but remember, excess profits are the main culprit driving this inflation.

The Reserve Bank of Australia has made an ad, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. #Budget2023 #auspol
I’m getting rather frustrated with people who refuse to listen to trans people or learn anything about how sports ensure fairness before deciding to tell trans kids they aren’t real or valid and deserve to be “other.” It’s ignorant bigotry, and a false moral panic. Please stop.

Voice is "consistent with human rights principles", Australian Human Rights Commission says.
The Australian Human Rights commissioner, Lorraine Finlay, this morning claimed it "undermines the foundational human rights principles of equality and non-discrimination".
