The Dept of Education says that 8 out of 5 students are behind the world standard numeracy levels.

Also they have disputed the challenge that 3 out of 4 Australians make up 75% of the population.

Aust students falling behind in science and maths

International testing of school students has found Australia is failing to keep pace with much of the developed world in science and maths.

Every four years, the international testing looks at the proficiency of science and maths students in years 4 and 8.

Although Australia's ranking and overall scores are similar to the last tests for those in year 4, there are falls for year 8 students.

In maths and science, Australia is now below many Asian countries like Japan and Singapore, as well as England, the US and Russia.

When it comes to maths, 40 per cent of Korean students are in the top bracket, compared to only 6 per cent of Australian students.

All kilometres cost the same, and there are no cheap ones in life.

If you live above the shop you are always stacking the shelves.

You can't change who you are or what you are, but you do decide yourself what you do.

A frustrated cab driver said,"Rudd, Swan... they're all a bunch of clowns and, I 'tell you, I'm 'telling ya, all a bunch of clowns and idiots. What do you think?"
The passenger said,"'tis surprising how good you have to be, to be as bad as 'em."

For believers and those who care:

Which came first the chicken or the egg?

The [size=+2]CHICKEN[/size] of course.

If the egg came first there would be no chicken to incubate the egg.

Lol - just watching an old video of when the kids were young - the eldest about 4 and the second about 2 and a bit -

and the eldest asks me "What's Heaven Dad?"
I reply ... "it's a really nice place mate - really nice - "
...
so the second eldest (wearing nappies) thinks for a bit - then pipes in, in complaining tone ...:"We NEVER go to Heaven Daddy !!"

It looks like a tough struggle for George and Barak to push the car bail-out package through, as the Republicans object strongly.

Price revisions, Ford Motor $15, General Motors and Chrysler thrown in free. If you don't want the latter two then Ford Motors are $99.99 on their own.

Well, it looks as if George W does not want the words, "Fords, General Motors and Chrysler, MAY THEY REST IN PEACE", on his gravestone.
Yes, he's going to dip into the $700 billion and give them a sub. Not much time left so George will give it to them, no questions asked.

We know we are in a middle of a drama, where the final script is not written yet.

You can leave and move on, but do you keep looking back?

 

[noirua]

We are remembered for what we do, not for what we are.

What we do is remembered and they forget who we were.

They see what we did for them and then, they carry on as if they invented it.

They wait and see who will win and then, back them.

Yes, but a truly resounding NO, and then comes a yes.

To be really alive is to be free.

Where there are crowds there is business.
