And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

They put up a list of requirements for supporting it, got the government to agree, then hosed around taking so long to resolve dumb splits that the government went and negotiated with Pauline Hanson instead.

Anidav posted:

Cartoons link says that assistant teachers exist in most classrooms for the disadvantaged meaning that the main teacher isn't distracted in the first place.

That part of his post is actually from a different article.

And Poed's point, while true, isn't necessarily accurate. As I said, it's not uncommon at all for schools to not have the manpower to ensure each kid has an aide with them at all times. The student in question might have an aide assigned but that aide might also have a dozen other kids spread around the school who they have to help. And that means that, while there is technically an aide for every kid, that aide might not be there in the classroom with that particular kid every single day. Similarly, her point about it resulting in better outcomes is true but inaccurate. Any teacher who teaches to a range of academic levels, from low to high, is going to achieve better results across their classes. What Poed means to say is that having a kid with those sorts of issues prompts the teacher to consciously consider that there is a range of academic achievers in their class, which prompts them to consider their teaching methods towards a wider range, which achieves better results.

It's not as if the kids just magically impart knowledge.

I taught at a school where they were supposed to have six aides for the kids who needed them. They had two and, while they attempted to prioritize them to the kids who needed the most assistance, it was a significant issue.

It also doesn't really say that. It says: "What is more, Dr Poed pointed out that in classes where some kids had disabilities, teachers were rarely trying to teach alone — these children are typically supported by teacher assistants."

But no data on what constitutes a disability that gets an aide, how many schools have the required number of aides, what the support entails, etc. I'm sure UoM's data is something like 'Is there an aide assigned to the kid? Yes/no'. Like I said, that's the same place that -- AFAIK -- is looking to implementing a whole unit in the Masters about handling kids with autism and such.

I would like to correct this. I didn't mean to say 'Genuine salt of the Earth Western Sydney man.'

Here's a summary for those of you unable to keep up:

- Cartoon said that bright students who apply themselves don't need teachers that much because the HSC is easy for them if they just apply themselves so Hanson's comment is full of poo poo.

Well if you include the context that someone (Dancing Shade) was having an arguement from authority jab at Anidav for saying:

Anidav posted:

Yeah I mean it's part of the ticket, you cannot exclude children from your learning environment because they make your job harder.

DancingShade posted:

I feel like you should do a teaching degree then take a high school class in a low socio economic area then report back with your findings.

Now while Dancing shade didn't actually say I support Pauline Hanson and the Nazi theory of Eugenics that was the subject being discussed. As their 'challenge' was complete bullshit I called them on it. Subsequent expert evidence supports my anecdote.

Milky decided to have some ill considered shot of jizz in my general direction, and missed horribly, only retroactively explaining their context in the hopes it wouldn't make them look like a gently caress wit.

But please continue with your revisionist history.

quote:

Approximately 55 traffic cameras in Victoria have been infected with the WannaCry ransomware, according to the Victorian department of justice.

Intersection and highway cameras across the state have been affected by the malware, which caused chaos around the world by attacking the British National Health Service and other organisations in May.

A department spokesman said all 55 cameras had been “operating correctly and accurately” while infected, but that the issue had been referred to the road safety camera commissioner.

If the commission finds motorists have been incorrectly fined as a result of the infection, the department said it would withdraw the affected fines.

In a statement, the department said a system patch had been applied to prevent the spread of the virus, and affected cameras would be fixed “in the next couple of days”.

But Melbourne radio station 3AW said the infection had been discovered earlier this month, but had only been referred to the commissioner once the station reported the story on Thursday.

When attached to a computer, ransomware encrypts local files and demands hundreds of dollars from users to return access. In May, WannaCry disrupted American multinational FedEx; Telefónica, Spain’s largest telecommunications company; and the NHS, cancelling operations and blocking access to patient records and phones.

The department of justice said Victoria’s infection was not the result of a targeted attack, but was caused by a contractor mistakenly connecting infected hardware to cameras.

The company that supplies Victoria’s traffic cameras, Redflex, has been contacted for comment.

In March, Redflex renewed its contract to supply cameras to New South Wales Roads & Maritime Services, and in October last year won a contract to expand the state’s in-vehicle speed camera program with forty new cameras.

The road safety camera commissioner has been contacted for comment.
