New York City Schools?
Our Federal Education Minister has been spending a bit of time with Joel Klein
lately: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au...013871,00.html At this point, I'm still unconvinced about the wisdom of league tables for Australian schools, for reasons we've discussed previously. Then I read this article today: http://www.smh.com.au/news/opinion/l...s/2008/08/12/1 218306883558.html I remain unimpressed. Metal Detector High was allowed to remain open and (mis-)teach students for "several years" as an official "failing school". I'm interested to know why the parents still continued to send their children there (ie, how real is the ability to choose a school), how long a "failing school" is allowed to continue, and whether the new school that replaces the failure is ever a success. All other comments welcome, of course. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) http://chookiesbackyard.blogspot.com/ |
