Chaos in Australian Education

Jump to new
Management Rights in Australia is frequently referred to as the ultimate home-based business and being involved in the industry can be a very rewarding experience
 
Australian society won't get anywhere until it actually takes children and schooling seriously and treats It professionally.

Children and family are the most ignored aspect of society and actually it F***S women's rights right up the A$&e

Children should start school at 08h00
Children should get a very healthy cooked lunch at school from the canteen including fruits
Children should be engaged in sports and extra curricular activities plus sports arranged and organised professionally by the schools until 17h00 when their parents pick them up so that women can work
Women should be supported by society and have a third of their salary paid until each child is about three years old and she should be a stay at home mum until then as this is proven to be psychologically required for children.
Houses should not be allowed to be traded by investors, a house should be a utility so that house prices appreciate steadily, not becoming a luxury resulting in a nation of renters and usury slaves, why do we enjoy screwing our children's future in the a$&e?
Families should not be mortgaged to the hilt
Every teacher should be educated to masters level, this is a complicated world.
There should be 3 exams for each subject so that the focus is on repeating the exam voluntarily, with the focus being understanding and long term memorising of the material to improve the mark, not on cramming the material into your head for a single exam.
And for f$&@s sake let's stop buying Chinese goods because all we are doing is kicking ourselves and our neighbours out of a job and screwing our own children's future in the A$&@e
Private health insurance should be abolished, doctors and pharmaceuticals pulled into line and higher monthly Medicare premiums introduced so that Medicare for every ailment is introduced universally for everyone.
University education limited to what is reasonably required by the country and made free for the passing student, along with a hot healthy lunch, the rest should get to work mowing lawns, doing apprenticeships and cleaning toilets so that an engineer doesn't have to do his own DIY around the house because he gets paid less than a plumber who is flirting with all the stay at home mums who can't afford to work and put their child into exorbitant childcare.


Do this
Then you will have a healthy society, low drug and alcohol problems amongst youths and a strong economy and a nation that will be admired by everyone

Don't do this
And you will remain a patently stupid and primitive undeveloped third world and viewed as the idiots get viewed
 
The following directed at year 7 and 8 students from page 20 of the teacher's guide seems to be what the fuss is about,

Interactive Exercise: Stepping Out

Before watching ‘Jaimee’s Video’ ask your students to separate themselves from their usual friendship groups, then divide the class in to two groups with a physical space between each half. Have students be seated in their new areas.

Tell students to write the numbers 1 to 10 down the left hand side of a page.

Invite students to imagine themselves in the role of a young person who is aged 16 years or older and is going out with someone they are really into. Advise students that they should not play themselves in this activity. Rather, encourage them to imagine themselves in someone else’s shoes. Tell students on the left-hand side of the room that their character is going out with someone of the same sex, while the character of those on the right-hand side of the room is going out with someone of the opposite sex.

Tell students you are going to ask them 10 questions which they need to answer as their character. Students can only answer 'yes' or 'no' to these questions..

The questions are also worth a read.

Good to see other MPs, left and right, come forward concerned about this safe school propaganda disguised as anti-bullying initiative.

Parents are the best judge of their kids’ sex education needs --

Parents should read the booklet All of Us and visit the Minus18 website, and make an independent judgement about the content of the Safe Schools Program

The taxpayer should not be funding LGBT activism in the classroom.

Of course, like every other Australian, homosexual activists are free to pursue their cause among the adult community in whatever manner they like, within the bounds of the law.

But they should have the decency to leave our children and our education system out of it.

So this happened at York University last night.
Audience: What are your views on gender non-binary people?
Me: Oh please don't ask me that. I'd rather not say. It's not worth the hassle.
Audience: Come on!
Me: Nah. My views on this issue are not popular.
Audience: Don't censor yourself.
Me: Okay. Okay. I believe there are men and women and that's it.
Audience: TRANSPHOBE.
 
No wonder mine walked straight back into classroom after years away .... they needed her qualifications to be able to teach new curriculum subjects that the previous (LNP) govt decided weren't 19th century 3Rs enough. What a joke teaching stuff to high school students only now after being mainstream in industry for nearly 30 years.

Your daughter is 50 years old? So you must be 65 or something... dam you're old.
 
It's been a long time since I went to school but even then unis had to give remedial maths classes because the schools just weren't teaching it well enough.
 
All schools need to be safe learning places for every child, without exception, but the Safe Schools Coalition's radical sex education program exposes Victorian children to very dangerous ideas, practices, and materials.
And the worrying thing is, parents do not have a say in the matter, in fact, they are completely excluded because the Victorian Labor Government has made this program compulsory in all Victorian schools.

Parents’ values and rights ignored

The balance is shifting against mainstream values in Victorian state schools under the Andrews Labor government.

Nothing is more critical for parents than sharing their values with their children; instructing them in right and wrong, and acting as role models.

Among the most sensitive of these values for children concerns sex and sexuality.

Yet some of our schools include in their curriculum the Safe Schools Coalition program, a program that usurps the parental role.

It is a program that seeks to indoctrinate children as young as 11 in an understanding of sex and sexuality.

It is a program that has attracted legitimate criticism across mainstream Australia.

In the guise of an anti-bullying course, the so-called Safe Schools teaching materials present children with confronting and manipulative information. That information is often at odds with the values those children are taught at home.

For example, the materials link to a website that says that “genitals and bodies in general don’t reflect anything about a person’s … gender”.

One video shown as part of the program bizarrely includes the following phrase: “They may take our penises, they may take our vaginas, but they will never take our freedom!”

Indeed, conventional arrangements in schools, such as recording each student as a boy or a girl, or having a boys’ toilet and a girls’ toilet, are labelled as “restrictive policies” by the Safe Schools Coalition.

Alarmingly, a Safe Schools brochure threatens schools that to “maintain restrictive policies around uniform, personal records and access to bathroom facilities could be breaking the law”.

The teaching materials are also developed in conjunction with an organisation called Minus18.

This group’s website offers advice to children on such matters as chest binding and penis tucking.

It also advocates the use of “puberty blockers”, drugs that require medical prescription and, for obvious reasons, are only effective for young children.

Under the Andrews Labor government, the Safe Schools program will be compulsorily rolled out to all Victorian state schools by 2018.

Parental consent will not be sought by the state government before this curriculum is taught in their children’s school.

In fact, parents will not be advised of any detail of the contents of the Safe Schools program despite its fiercest proponent, Premier Andrews, telling parliament “it does push the boundaries sometimes”.

The Coalition, both federal and state, is in favour of any government-funded program in schools that combats the scourge of bullying. Children need to be taught that bullying is wrong, for any reason.

However, we fear that the Safe Schools Coalition goes far beyond an anti-bullying document and has unfortunately morphed into radical gender theory curriculum and sexual identity politics.

These are issues that one might expect to be exposed to on a university campus ”” not taught to 11-year-olds.

This is, perhaps, not surprising given that one of the Safe Schools Coalition co-founders, Roz Ward, has conceded the program is part of a broader strategy to radically change our society.

In fact, Ms Ward told the Melbourne 2015 Marxism Conference that capitalists have imposed “cultural and moral norms around sex, marriage and the natural family that inhibit sexual freedom”, and that the Safe Schools program was a way of tackling these “norms”.

It is frightening that somebody with these warped views and belief in lurid conspiracy theories is provided with taxpayer-funded support to indoctrinate the nation’s children.

Accordingly, we support the Turnbull government’s review of the Safe Schools program and curriculum ”” if for no other reason ”” because the program is way out of step with the mainstream values of Victorians.

As Cella White, a concerned mother of four, told the Herald Sun in February: “It was announced in science class that boys could wear school dresses next year.”

She later went on to say in a radio interview, “I think it’s far too graphic” a teaching program for her young teenage son.

Ultimately, we believe that the state should not usurp the role of parents and make value judgements about what children are to be compulsorily taught.

Particularly on these highly sensitive subjects, without their parents’ consent and knowledge.

Sadly, in parliament last week, Bill Shorten and Daniel Andrews derided anyone as a homophobe or bigot for simply questioning the age-appropriateness and other aspects of the Safe Schools program.

In this respect we concur with the words of former prime minister John Howard, who said: “To say that anybody who is alarmed about this ‘Safe Schools’ booklet is a homophobe …(is) so out of touch.”

We are determined to be the voice for mainstream values and to defend the rights of ordinary parents to guide the values of their children on these highly sensitive matters.

The program needs a lot more thought, imo. More balance is required. These are subjects which are still not understood fully. Getting untrained people to teach them is problematic.

I like to use the example of Tourette's syndrome. A person suffering this affliction should be free to do his own thing and not be subject to taunting or harrassment. But it would be wrong to say that it's just a natural variation and that "some people are just born this way - celebrate it!". No, because then we open up the floodgate. It can be used as an excuse.

It comes back to the point I've been making about whether homosexuality and cross-dressing are manifestations of a troubled childhood or even a troubled pregnancy (epigenetics). If they are, and yet we say "it's all good", then people might not be inclined to seek to rectify those things which are suboptimal. Growth in all aspects takes enormous courage. If we always say "everyone and everything is just fine", we don't tend to grow.

The topic of acceptance is extremely nuanced. Non-acceptance can be ugly (I've seen it in myself). BUT, acceptance of everyone and everything denies that there might be an optimal path to growth. By 'growth', I mean growth towards a pinnacle of personal and world-wide love and peace (which is the original message of all spiritual masters before the churches grabbed hold of it and turned into something else).

[edit]... The so-called experts like to say that such variations are not a conscious choice. Well... OBVIOUSLY that's true. But then some of them go onto say that, 'well if it's not a conscious choice then you must be born with it', which is utterly ignorant. The subconscious will house a whole host of parental influences, both verbal and non-verbal. And the subconscious does choose and direct us, moment-to-moment. People can be influenced to do and think a whole range of things. This is why we have marketing and advertising industries - they work. Minds can be manipulated.

I'd imagine that if you ask parents when their children should be exposed to sex and physical education, they'd say until uni; When should the children have sex, it'd be after marriage. Forget about gay sex or gayness.

I mean, sex and self respect is all important and people shouldn't sleep around... but values and parents teaching their kids about morality and mainstream value and homosexuality or being gay or having gay friends or accepting that some people are gay and it's alright... those aren't the same moral values, right?

Strange that we don't like the nanny and the police state telling us what to do... then we tell others what is right and moral based on some Middle Eastern book and its moral code to not treat everyone equally.

My poor English skills. I was referring to the subject matter only now catching up with 30 year old industry processes.

And yes I'm not unaccustomed to the ageist comments.
