Working to improve Australia's two-tier school system

[Aus Schools @IvanWebb]

The missing link. The federal government determines how Australia’s school system works but public school parents rarely meet with their MHR or a Senator. This means major flaws are poorly understood by decision makers https://t.co/D5OygukG6M

Trust in governments is declining along with hope for a better school system. I know this is true for me, and current governments may not be to blame.

The unspoken Social Contract around Schools is the major constraint on creating an equitable, high performing school system for Australia. https://t.co/boMsFdX4Tj

Improvement - It seems counter-intuitive to focus on making things Easier First but it works https://t.co/ayLH9Bf2Hs

Reducing resistance to change This post is a follow-up to my previous blog on the issue of change. All feedback gratefully received. https://t.co/4oz1f2nJwj

Resistance to change. Julian Baggini's analysis of an old proverb explains why proponents of change and subjects of change have such different perspectives. One of the most important insights ever. https://t.co/nkE0ilkbAi …

Our irresponsible government is to recognise West Jerusalem as Israel's capital. This is not supported by the majority of Australians. https://t.co/18o1xUMNXP

Its time to see where we are and do they need review https://t.co/jd3vUqaho8

Australia allocates more and better teacher resources to socio-economically advantaged schools than to disadvantaged schools. The gaps rank alongside the worst in the OECD. Little wonder that there is no reduction in achievement gaps b/n rich and poor. https://t.co/pL3jeSvPZN

Self-organisation in schools - perhaps the most missed strategy for fast, easy, cheap school improvement - https://t.co/EMa4vmEtMG

Why Catholic primary school parents can afford to pay more https://t.co/YdSQMoMUBX

[Aus Schools @IvanWebb]

Does "Affordable choice for all" mean what the Government is claiming. Try these discussion starters and see what you think. https://t.co/m1uAfgprCo

Special school funding to save the Catholic Church? https://t.co/0V4zxkUJWC

Great news - Dan Tehan, Federal Minister for Education is promising "affordable choice for all parents". But he is clearly out of touch with how choice works in his school system: https://t.co/kZRJmNomKy

[Dr David Zyngier @dzyngier]

The right to choose a school for each of your children is a big deal in Australia. Education is sort of "free", but choosing your children's schools can be a challenge and very expensive.

Discovering an estimate of any school's actual funding -You might be surprised https://t.co/394XE2ne1L

Gonski is like phone plans - too many variations and too complicated to really understand fully. As a result, it does not meet its own criteria.
