I'd argue that ranking is only important in year 12, when you're competing against everyone else for limited uni places. BUT in other years, there should just be outcomes-based reporting. So you have the syllabus indicator, then whether the student is working towards it, working at it, or...

The new syllabus has more of a focus on reading a range of significant books from different cultures, which the current syllabus doesn't have. I do think english should be mandatory, because the syllabus is trying to teach critical literacy which is essential in everyday life so we know how...

I just worry that all this "back to basics" is just going to make teachers teach their students to get good results in NAPLAN rather than being critically literate, esp since the myschool website. But I am excited about the new literature strand in english. Get kids reading some good books.

Grant Denyer was reporting on it, and the naked people started chanting at him to get his kit off, and he did. And then he shook his willy at them.

For dinner I had souvlaki with pita bread and whatnot. And this completely orgasmic chocolate fudge icecream sandwich which involved two choc fudge cookies with vanilla bean icecream with nuts and fudge on top and OH MY GOD yum Eurobay cafe in Brighton.

That happens to so many people. They just end up with the feeling that their parents don't trust them, so they shut them off. OR they do what their parents want and live miserably anyway. I've never gotten that from my parents, so I have a good relationship with them. I know they trust me so...

Parents who lecture are the worst. Especially since kids never do what the parents lecture them about. Parents need to let their kids live their own lives and make their own mistakes.

When I drive to uni (not often) I park at Macdonaldtown station. It's a bit of a walk to uni but it's free and (if you park in the right place) untimed. Or find a friend who lives in Redfern. If I'm stuck and I ask the day before I can park in my friend's backyard on Abercrombie St...

Yogurt with a sliced up apple Parmesan and onion bread toasted sandwich with salami and baby spinach. Made it in the morning and took it to uni and it was delish. Chopped up vege sticks (snow peas, carrot, capsicum, cucumber) Mexican doritos with light french onion dip Going out for...

Borrow the book from your local library and scan it?

Might make a salad or a roll. Might buy a burger or thai or pasta or something. Trying to save money this semester so more packed lunches.

That's awful. My parents and I are pretty open with each other, I'll truthfully answer most questions they ask. They trust me to make my own decisions and have never tried to control me. I've told them, "I'm going to Japan for two weeks" or "My boyfriend and I are thinking about moving out"...

I sometimes go to rubi if I need a pair of shoes that I may not wear again, like for a costume or theme night.

So what if gay people got married but didn't have sex?

Um. No. Watch that Hungry Beast video. These people have honestly tried to stop being gay. The priest tried for some 20 odd years, he prayed and fasted and read the literature. He got married and had kids and none of it changed the fact that he is attracted to men. I'm sure he would have given...

You have to go to your GP to get a prescription first.

I reeeeally hate it how most places don't even acknowledge that you applied. No form letter that says "Sorry, no positions available" or "Sorry, you're not what we're looking for". Nothing at all.

GAY CONVERSION EXTENDED VERSION | Hungry Beast Story about people who have tried "gay conversion" to make themselves straight. Not sure how long the story will be available to view, but I thought it was very interesting. It makes me sick that people feel so guilty about something they...

That's very true. Defining anything as between a man and a women doesn't take into account the broader spectrum of gender (something that was not recognised at the time of making the law, but society has changed markedly since then). Laws shouldn't be about men and women, they should be about...
