Australia's dismal teaching results will not be fixed by throwing more money at the problem. Progressive teaching has regressed education - change cannot come soon enough.

For a real life example
The results are in for a conservative free school in the UK - Michaela
All you need is common sense and the right learning environment.

Michaela community school, a controversial free school known for its strict behaviour policy, picked up its first set of GCSE results on Thursday, five years after opening its doors to its first pupils.
..
Compared with other non-selective state schools, Michaela’s results rank among the best in the country. More than half (54%) of all grades were level 7 or above (equivalent to the old-style A and A*), which was more than twice the national average of 22%. Nearly one in five (18%) of all grades were 9s, compared with 4.5% nationally, and in maths, one in four results were level 9.

No doubt a reason will be found for shutting this school down as it is making so many other schools look bad.
