Hilariously, the AFR is showing just how absurd is the scare campaign against the super tax changes. They give an eg where someone's super goes from $2m to $3.18m in a year! Yep a $1.18m increase. How much extra tax? $1,528! OMG!! THAT'S OUTRAG... err... oh actually that's bugger all

Arguing AI will save teachers time is ludicrous. No new tech has. Instead of thinking "ooohh planning now takes less time" think about what you'll be doing instead.

I have honestly struggled to find very much new or of use in Cognitive Load Theory for my teaching. The revolutionary language applied to it in some quarters has never resonated with my experience or understanding of teaching and education. It seems modestly useful at best. Am I alone in this?

How can school excursions spark real historical thinking? In my latest Disrupted History post, I explore how tools like GooseChase, Polycam, and Thinglink transform field trips into moments of civic inquiry, reparative justice, and deep reflection.

I wonder if this is a sign that curriculum wars are running out of steam for the time being? I don't think they'll go away, but have they temporarily exhausted their use? Maybe there is simply no (half) serious argument to support the claim that the Australian curriculum is a tool of indoctrination?

Is the biggest myth in education how many myths there apparently are? It seems like there is a new article, blog or book every day claiming to have uncovered and busted another myth saving ignorant teachers from themselves.

Fascinating seminar this evening at Sydney Uni exploring conservative critiques of education from the 70s. It’s incredible how much has been recycled in recent years to push a particular agenda: crises of standards and morals, corruption of ITE, dangerous progressivism everywhere, anti-globalism.

In 1975 we encouraged Indonesia to annex them; in 2004 we spied on them to steal their gas; in 2025 we’re still resisting their sovereign gas extraction plans. Successive governments, guided by DFAT, have botched the relationship, driving Timor-Leste to China🤦‍♂️ . #auspol

"It would recognise that good teaching often involves navigating tensions between competing aims – freedom and structure, tradition and innovation, care and rigour. And it would treat evidence not as a mandate, but as a resource for deliberation and reflection."

There appears to be a really weird belief amongst these sort of people whipped up against Universities that society doesn’t need teachers, doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientists, and a bazillion other experts that literally prevent societal collapse.

A major cause of rising house prices has been increased demand from investors. Our research shows restricting negative gearing to newly built housing and scrapping the capital gains tax discount would reduce speculation and allow more first home buyers to get into their own home.

Are there any good books about how to avoid being sucked in by education movements? I know the famous Diane Ravitch quote that 'ed movements are to be avoided like the plague' and I was lucky to have great mentors to navigate this, but who has written practical warnings about this for teachers?
