Testing The Teachers

The idea is to deflect attention from the Systemic issues and focus on the "bad drivers" causing the perceived "train wreck" in education. Presumably, teachers have been tested to death by the time they get their degrees from unis. What's actually going on is a constant resource depletion by conservatives in government who want to destroy public education in favour of private/religious indoctrination and career climbing schemes within the tired educational, administrative bureaucracy.

The Ozayrian conservatives are just copying the US right-wingers on this one.

Thanks to the Wal-Mart Walton Family Billionaire Money Junkies funding "research"
(pseudo science hype tat seeks to please their Masters and get merit pay for loyalty) this reactionary idiocy is now on the political agenda in Oz too.

Testing the teachers

It's a whiteboard jungle out there as educationalists and economists haggle over the surest way to get the best out of our kids. One proposal being considered is more money for teachers whose students get the best test results. The status quo is not an option, and teachers unions are in a difficult position. Reporter: Stan Correy.

It is broadcast tonight after 7pm on Radio National
and transcript will be available next week
