This week the various teaching unions have united (at last) to unanimously condemn PaCT - a performance and consistency tool based on National Standards.
Predictably, Fairfax Media have continued to publish teacher bashing drivel that completely misses the point.
If all airline pilots unanimously objected to a new pre-flight procedure, the public would surely take notice - pilots understand aeroplanes.
If all building inspectors unanimously objected to a policy revision, the public would surely take notice - building inspectors understand buildings.
If all doctors unanimously objected to a new drug, or a new medical procedure, the public would surely take notice - doctors understand health care.
And yet there are clearly people out there, who still believe teachers are acting in their own self interest to oppose National Standards. Do they really believe the government's line that teachers are all lazy, useless, left wing loonies with too many holidays?
You can trust your child's teacher.
Can you trust the Education Minister?
Can you trust Fairfax Media?
