Education today is more about whats "right" vs what is useful. Don't get me started
Yep.
I have close relatives who are teachers, and they told me it's about 'positive reinforcement' and not upsetting the kids sensitivities
I don't want to get started either.

In the 90s it was losing by 50
Did anyone see the article about home crowd free kick advantage per team? This may be paywalled: https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/...e/news-story/46babc73b3019171c8d7d965ddc13a71
It shows that Geelong have a zero free kick differential at home, which is one of the worst home differentials. The cats have a -32 differential at away venues.
So, in a half-witted assessment, the cats are 32 free kicks better off at home. Wtf? How stupid can you get. The data is basically saying the cats don’t get any home free kick advantage and get screwed at away venues…but somehow he comes up with that conclusion? Go back to school.

Yes! Thought of you + allrighty immediately!
The idea of small groups to focus on helping children is very needed + important.
I used to teach individual children with reading, comprehension + pronunciation. To see a child increase their confidence + to enjoy reading was a wonderful experience.

Also ‘comprehension’ was a huge focus.
Remember the pangram: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog’? Except it’s missing ‘v’.
Times tables + long division!

It's not like he doesn't know what he's doing, though. He's running a narrative and simply colouring the information that doesn't fit with that story in the best way he can to suit his presupposed conclusion. Sadly this is modern journalism 101.

From memory when I went to the 89 GF I was one of around 15k members, just a tad easier to get a seat back in the day.
Wouldn’t surprise, may have been 15k when I suffered through one of the nineties GF’s.According to Wikipedia, we had 7,760 members in 1989.

According to Wikipedia, we had 7,760 members in 1989.
It was a grim, dark struggle back in those days.
I remember being so hopeful on the day of the '89 GF, believing, knowing we had GAS on our side, and thinking how the club's fortunes could turn around if only we could win.
It was a bitter result.
I remember sitting back after the game and despondently thinking 'if not now, when??'
