We’ve spent decades reforming instruction.
Perhaps it’s time to think about the ecosystem. What if the reason reading scores haven’t dramatically improved isn’t because we haven’t found the right program?
What if children are not primarily cognitive beings?

"The loudest noise in the budget attack is coming from mainstream commercial media outlets, shaped by the plutocratic interests of their owners, and fuelled by rage-farming techniques designed to boost audience share"
'Do Australians really want reform? It’s a reasonable question to ask as the Albanese government weathers trenchant attacks on its recent federal budget.'

The 20 richest Australians have more money than 3 million households.
Why is that a problem?
Because billionaires have more money than ever before, and they’re using it to buy more political influence.
