Comments on Andrew Penfold “Gillard's schools site should be used to help close the gap”, 26/02/2010, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/gillards-schools-site-should-be-used-to-help-close-the-gap/story-e6frg6zo-1225834524594
It is not an issue as clear cut as Penfold thinks it is.
It is a dilemma: should the government put more resources for places you have better strengths or the areas where it has been revealed that you don't do well?
If you are a private operator with the overall outcome in mind, what would you do?
What Penfold’s logic is no different to throwing good money onto bad.
It is an issue that many people easily fall over into a trap.
But it is an difficult issue: how to treat public schools where there are significant gaps in performance? A closed related issue is: how to close the gap between Indigenous and non Ingineous students? It that just a funding issue?
