Australia: Fad policies override basics of education

Buldog sumitted ago via http://www.theage.com.au (Views: 53, Clicks: 4)

Peter McLoughlin -- Through the years of acronyms and jargon, the latest buzz term - ''value adding'' - makes me quite ill. We have to ''value add'' to our students. This term is related to NAPLAN testing and means improving results. The most depressing fad of all has been the introduction of standardised testing and A to E reporting. Every child from year one is now issued with a report ranking them from A to E for every subject area.

Mike Rose -- As Newt Gingrich has surged in the Republican presidential polls, we’ve heard more and more in the media about his intelligence, about him being a large thinker, the big idea guy in the GOP. This standard description of him has gotten me to think about intelligence, particularly about the ways we commonly ascribe intelligence to others.
