Mark, why are you so cruel to people who are not the same as you? Are you ok?

[Real Mark Latham @RealMarkLatham]

Here’s a shock result.
Dumbing down the test lifts student results!!
Who would have thought?
Isn’t the purpose of education to broaden knowledge beyond personal and cultural limits, to build imagination about things previously unknown?
More Piccoli idiocy.

@RealMarkLatham Mark, why are you so cruel to people who are not like you. Are you ok?

Our UNSW research shows contextualising test qns to make them relevant to rural & Indigenous students could close rural/metro reading gap by 33% & Indigenous/non Indigenous gap by 50%. Idea is not new but using a Randomised Control Trial to prove it, is. https://t.co/Soe2kPDnSt

Question: Can a comprehensive public high school in outback NSW (Broken Hill) produce a HSC student with 99+ ATAR? You betcha we can!!!! @WillyamaHigh @NSWEducation #HSC2019 #awesomestaffandstudents

[Alice Leung @aliceleung]

One of the better pieces I’ve read on this issue https://t.co/qplEKUTWYA

[Tom Greenwell @TBGreenwell]

’School choice’ is at the heart of the problem in Australian education. In practice, it means some schools choose their students while others are overwhelmed by social disadvantage.
