    Oh! I'm so very proud to know you, Sharon. (Cloete, nee: Davy) And..... honoured, to (perhaps) have had, a very minor influence, in your excellence and success, as a 'star' teacher today. Hearty Congratulations on your award!! May your enthusiasm for life and education, be an inspiration and a blessing, to all who meet you along your way. God Bless you. Anne Hamblin (Annie)

    — Alan Hamblin on Unlikely Robotics Expert Cloete A Worthy Award Winner

    Great article. I'm a pre-service teacher studying my masters in a univeristy in SE QLD and have come from an undergraduate degree in one of the physical sciences. We had a great class on globalisation and education this year that spoke to the effects of rising neoliberal beliefs and systems on Australian (and international) education, and many of the points made in this article resounded what we have learnt in our teachings. It is quite worrying that healthy "dissent" is not being fostered as much anymore in our universities, but have faith that there are still some schools of education out here that are teaching us to think so that we do not let the public education system down.

    — Lee Erin on The Privatisation Of Our Public Unis Is Corrupting Teaching Graduates

    It's like shooting fish in a barrel! Attacking teachers is a national pastime with teachers invariably the scapegoats for every shortcoming in our tired and ineffective education system. Teachers must soldier on despite constant sniping about their professionalism, alleged political bias and 'outrageously long' holiday breaks. Little wonder our school graduates are not flocking to become teachers!
