gonski utter waste...new curriculum needed..., page-13

The trick with today's schooling and it started many years ago is always give the answers the teacher wants to see/hear.

I just remembered a time years age, when my son had to do a school project (I don't know what they're called today) on industries of Australia.

I had already taught my son how to use the internet, so he did his research on the net and he printed it all out on a Hewlett Packard colour printer, pictures and all, and presented it to the teacher in a nicely bound folder.

The teacher gave him an "F".

Reason: it was not fair to the other students, that my son had access to this technology when the other students did not.

Me, I thought what he did was brilliant.
