  13. CW: Science teachers from Queensland Open Brethren schools told to teach students about vegetarian dinosaurs on Noah’s Ark.~The Guardian

    This is 3 months old but I missed it.
    “Teachers employed by a large group of Queensland Christian schools were told to teach creationism in science classes, including that vegetarian baby dinosaurs would have been taken aboard Noah’s Ark.”

    Hilarious but also terrifying.

    “The conference featured a presentation by the Answers in Genesis’ director of research, Australian geologist Andrew Snelling.

    “Those present say Snelling told them the radiometric dating techniques used by mainstream scientists to show fossils and rocks are millions of years old were flawed. He said the Himalayas were formed by the “great flood”, and that juvenile vegetarian dinosaurs had been on the ark.

  19. Shocking new data: Australia is the MOST EXPENSIVE country in the developed world to send a kid to high school!
    Families pay an average of $4,967 per year per child – almost 4× the OECD average of ~$1,262.
    Why? Over 40% of high schoolers go private (2nd highest in OECD, only behind Chile), and fees average >$11k/year, reaching up to $55k at elite schools.
    Public schools are cheap (or free), but the massive private sector drags the national average sky-high.
    This didn't happen by accident. The privatisation push started under the Howard government: scrapping the New Schools Policy (allowing easy new private schools in existing areas) + generous funding changes that boosted private enrolments and let fees soar.
    Result? A two-tier system where wealthy schools get huge public subsidies + high fees, while public schools face funding shortfalls and many families get squeezed.
    We need radical reform – not more taxpayer cash to schools that don't need it.
