Lid posted:A leadership challenge this week is unlikely. But in a tactic similar to the one used by Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton in his botched attempt to replace Malcolm Turnbull, a substantial bloc of aggrieved Nationals MPs are attempting to create a crisis around Mr McCormack's leadership. And if it follows the pattern of the Turnbull spill who is the third party that will get voted in instead of The Beetroot? Hopefully;

Being to the right of the Liberal Party Room doesn't make her social left. And she's still going to green light Morrison's crushing austerity policies. Also I assume Morrison will try to schedule the election for after the budget, so he can pork barrel the entire country and then attach a whole bunch of unpalatable bullshit to the actual legislation so the ALP can't pass it, so they can do none of it.

But making it compulsory and tying it into how good the school is, just fuckin weird.

NAPLAN is a mediocre tool for apples being used as a genuine metric for oranges. Schools can try to use the data in positive ways, e.g. comparing a cohort's percentile position from test to test to see if they are remaining steady, going down (oh poo poo maybe we're doing something wrong), or going up (our teaching practices are working). It's kinda like those height-weight charts for kids that are hopefully highlighting on a metric issues like failure to thrive or obesity/nutrition education for the family, but they can also be thrown off by very natural and non-relevant things like timing of a growth spurt and have to be taken in consideration with all other info. Using the same-year percentiles for school-vs-school comparison is pointless as it's mostly just going to confirm socioeconomic states than anything about the quality of schooling.

Phelps is the quintessential Tree Tory and while there are some of those in the LNP proper, the fact that she’ll be independent gives her more latitude in for example not supporting torturing refugees. That said as a Tree Tory her ideals are very flexible in the face of economic incentives so I doubt she’s going to rock the boat for the Government if she gets in.

Australia’s spy agency warned ministers that Scott Morrison’s proposed shift in Middle East policy to relocate the embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem may “provoke protest, unrest and possibly some violence in Gaza and the West Bank”. Guardian Australia has obtained an Asio bulletin, marked secret, AUSTEO(Australian eyes only), circulated on 15 October – the day before Morrison’s announcement – that notes that the putative shift would “attract international attention”. “We expect any announcement on the possible relocation of the Australian embassy to Jerusalem or consideration of voting against Palestinians in the United Nations may provoke protest, unrest and possibly some violence in Gaza and the West Bank,” the bulletin says.

JBP posted:I have a question. I think Bell Jar mentioned NAPLAN/standardised testing being poo poo at some point. Can someone link me or just tell me what the good alternative way of teaching and grading large populations is? Standardised testing is not fundamentally bad. The question comes down to why you are testing and what you do with the results. the problem with NAPLAN in particular is it is every 2 years. this is not often enough to provide useful diagnostic information to teachers to modify the learning, or to tell you if interventions or differentiation are working. in South Australia we do NAPLAN because we have to, but all public schools also do one called PAT. it is done annually (or more for a student if needed). and provides more current data. For individual learning areas there are a lot of online tools like Math Pathways that will identify which particular areas the students have trouble with and plan a series of learning activities to fill the gaps and help scaffold the learning. The question about teaching and grading a large population hints at a bias in the question. you don't teach a population, you teach a child. Assessing effective teaching and learning at a systematic level is a difficult concept. An analogy would be having all the health care providers graded on their patient outcomes, and basing assessments of clinics on how many had their patient health improve based on health levels year to year. Do that and you find the Rehab Physio clinic is much better than the ER, so we need to have the ER do what the rehab centre does. Saying the year 3's this year are worse at reading than last years year 3's tells you absolutely nothing. That this years year 5's as a cohort are doing about 2 years worth of learning better than they were in year 3 tells you "normal, move on". but that is not what is being talked about.

Standardised testing can sometimes be inherently useless depending on the test and how it's written. In the '90s my mum was sent to investigate this school in a remote indigenous community in WA ("charter plane only because there are no commercial flights here" level remote). The test they were given had the kids shown a picture, and they then had to describe what was happening in it. Simple enough, right? Except the picture was a very traditionally Anglo kitchen with a fridge, gramophone, a sink, and Pekinese. These kids were overwhelmingly living in one or two room shacks, and most had never even seen half the stuff in the picture before, let alone be able to talk about it and what it does.

but the nats would never be able to get power on their own and their constituents would murder them if they went with labor, so they'll only ever be in the position of being able to form a coalition with the liberals. Yeah?

That’s what I know. I know the New South Wales Labor Party with their good mates who banned the New South Wales Jewish border deputies from attending. The Labor union multicultural action committee, so we have a New South Wales Labor Party a which is behaving in an anti-Semitic way, MrSpeaker. And they want to pretend to theAustralian people that they’re supporters of Israel?
