NAPLAN and trees

The problem with NAPLAN is that not only do the normal test papers distributed during regular test time consume trees, the test prep does as well.

My neighbour, who is a primary school teacher, said that at their school, every kid from years 2-7 are going to sit last year's NAPLAN test. Soon an email was sent out: people are using up too much paper!

She sent an email back with the following message:

"300 students x 2 booklets for each (she missed out the reading comprehension one) x approx 10 pages for each booklet. Hmm. Wonder where the paper's going.

"Love, Mrs B."

The very first post.

Hmmm... Now, how to you invite someone to be a co-author?

Never mind.

Anyway, things to be discussed on this blog:
-Rambling, essay-worthy rants about the government (mainly Australian, but there may be some randoms in other countries that have problems with their government).
-More rambling
-Some possible discussions on what we could do to fix our government (includes things like what laws we would change/scrap/introduce, what we would do if we were the PM, etc.)
-ummm... Anything negative about Politics, really.

I'm studying Politics in school this semester. Things are kinda stuffed up in Egypt.
Personally, I support democracy, but really, a vote just isn't gonna cut it in the mess they've got going on over there. Someone needs to suicide-bomb Mubarak, and all those other randoms that are causing trouble, and just start afresh.
