It's August, which means Stories from School: Practice meets Policy is returning! Travis, Tom and Kim are back, along with a great group of new blogger colleagues. Readers can get a sneak preview by reading their bios now, located in the left hand column of this page. Then get ready. Each blogger is set to ready to connect practice and policy with a bold first post, "Five Ways I Would Change Education if Money Was Not An Issue." You'll be surprised about the ways in which they'd transform education funding. Stay tuned!
The subject discussed, being educational changes in a perfect world where money is not a problem, is extremely interesting. The thing about education is that the result of the changes that you make, be it success or utter failure, are not seen immediately but in a few years’ time. This puts government, normally elected for a set period, to not having a long-term vision for the educational sector with the policies it implements. I think that every penny invested in education is money well spent and it should always be encouraged. Input from teachers, students and parents are of vital importance.
