When politicians talk about improving educational outcomes they seem to mainly focus on the amount of money they are prepared to invest. I suggest that there is only a very small positive correlation between money spent and improved results. Politicians often talk about improving school resources.
I suggest that a school's greatest resource is its staff (mainly its face to face teaching staff). What is "Gonski" going to do about the thousands of teachers who are poorly motivated and struggle to understand the subject matter they are directed to teach? Very little I think.
What is "Gonski" going to do about the increasing levels of violence in our schools? Next to nothing I think.
Why waste billions of dollars on educational systems of work and processes which are continually failing?
