When education policy is a house of cards
That mess of intrigue ( House of Cards) mimics reality by centring its very loose spokes around Education , The self centred person and potential tyrant is best to capitalize on all the careless talk and use the mushy stupidity of the words to be ahead in the word game. Twin yo must be a realist - the words are only a vehicle and they keep changing ;Those who dn't face that will be left behind . Trying to get kids to learn has to be the hardest and toughest of beasts - so where do we take it?
One other area which illustrates our need we to change direction is in areas where current idealism works least to help us solve real world problems; the area of " The environment " and healthcare We need to go back and look at the prevention method ( old but good way ) , The progressives will continue to waste their and our time and money if they don't. To win you have to be one step ahead of the progressives - tis not hard .
A letter I sent to the PM today
" I am a doubly qualified degree lifetime practicing ecologist helping economically stressed producers make sound ecological decisions. We share the responsibility for taking real world risk management advice daily and I have done it for decades . I am very good at it .
My problem is that noone trains such people any more ; and as Laura Tingle said last week ( Aust Fin Review) , this undigestable mix of red tape you pay for has something to do with how you think--- or more pointedly, how you don't think .
Something to do with how you idealize degrees and qualifications and down play experience ;something to do with how you compartmentalize ; you end up giving everybody in the system a task but no way of coordinating them . Called market based determinism and it is a bit blindsided - a one sized fits all kind of recipe that has a minor role in the real world; Its efficient in a way but overly expensive and therefore ineffective in another way . It drives you all to make decisions but not necessarily sound well rounded eco decisions.
Your alternative is to continue as you are and be laughed at as in UTOPIAABC or cried over ( by those who want our children to not just accumulate qualifications) because of , not just your incompetence, but your unwillingness to innovate and overcome evil with metanoia.
In simple terms , I know that government agencies can again provide risk management advice - not just duckshove it like you do now . " Take advice or lose control of the situation yet again .To those who see through your game and how shallow it is .
PS Would you like me to send this note to the opposition? "
