RE: School rankings

the socio-economic links have been performed for years in melbourne, Richard Teese from Melbourne Uni has shown the best predictor for VCE success is the post code of the family home…this has been the case since the first ‘reforms’ of the VCE by Jeff Kennett in the mid 90s…the more things change!

the difference this time in Australia with performance pay for teachers is that at least some teachers will be paid what the rest should be getting, still not enough to go around.

This is the Margaret Thatcher/Ronald Reagan( and John Howard!) approach to pay the higher incomes to the aslready well paid to encourage others to aspire to higher incomes and work harder…didn’t work then…and now? what’s changed?

Thanks for the alert.
