Now I know my ABCDEFailure....


Thank goodness the Australian Education Union (AEU) have taken a strong position on the loony Commonwealth bribe to the States of more money in return for a commitment to grade kids from A to E in their report cards in Primary School. Thanks Brendan (not). Their members have voted not to implement the system.

According to the AEU South Australia website, 96 percent of school sub-branches that have responded to the AEU have determined to ban the Federal Government failing report cards and are continuing with locally developed reporting formats.

AEU members have expressed anger at being required to award A-E grades to Year 1 to Year 10 students using the SACSA frameworks. Members are to be congratulated for their principled stand in protecting their professional integrity and the educational well-being of students.

I just think that it would be devastating for many kids who struggle at school to have this added burden. Incoming a major self esteem squasher and major demotivator all rolled into one.

I am on the Governing Council at school and believe strongly that they have a role to play too. On with the struggle.
