Excellent article by Paul Kelly (editor for The Australian) entitled
"A clarion call for the sake of our kids" on the corruption of the social
sciences curriculum in our schools.
OBE in WA gets a mention "Western Australia’s experiment in
outcomes-based education has failed and Queensland has
“absolutely no external assessment in the entire preparatory
year to Year 12 spectrum”. This means they have “no way of
knowing what standards their schools are achieving”
The article has recieved a massive number of responses from readers
and is well worth a read, can be found here.

Lastly I found an easy to install site-meter from www.sitemeter.com
Very excited
