I've filled this in. I'm not going to lie, it did take me a while, as I had a lot to say. BUT you can do it quickly by clicking space in the comment boxes. The questions are stacked towards the proposed 'opt-out' system (No thanks, loves), so really worth us making ourselves heard while we can.

Biologist David Sloan Wilson: "Ricardo's dream was to discover economic laws as universal and mathematically tractable as Newton’s laws of motion. He became so mesmerized by his models that he gave them priority over the more complicated real world—just like the neoclassical economists of today."

I enjoy reading children's books and choose to do so. Not all school staff have the time or inclination but they do need to know about them. Having a couple of staff meetings each year with time to explore picturebooks, poetry and graphic novels could make a world of difference in the classroom.
