This is a great article outlining the success of the Finnish education system. They don't standardise test, they don't track or target teach, they have smaller class sizes, train, educate and pay their teachers better. Dah!! That's why they top the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) results. What's happening in Australia???

education School Funding

For years, almost no-one wanted to talk about education policy. Suddenly everyone is. Of course, just because you can invoke the name of "Gonski" doesn't mean you've read the Sydney businessman's talismanic report on schools funding reform, much less understood it. Schools funding is a complex topic. There's an alphabet soup of abstract acronyms (SES, AGSRC) and a spaghetti diagram of administrative structures. Funding for a particular school could include money from parents, from a major church, from a state or territory, and from Canberra. The formula is set with a bewildering array of equations, fed by the demographic chance of Census data.

Fantastic article that discusses the complexities of being a teacher that in an impoverished school. A must read for perspective.
