不知大家注意到没有，楼上有位同学找出教育部原文，明确得很，oc和精英，只论武功，不问出身

现在是武功够强，背景不够，下台去

不管结果如何，毕竟我们为之努力过，斗争过，就无憾了

我大致弄了一下。
我觉得先把这个政策拖下来最重要，写的时候就主要围绕着这个就可以。

Re: New policy change on OC/Selective Exam （或者是Pls stop/pause XXXXXXXX）

Dear Ms Sarah Mithcell (她是教育部长）

I was ________ by the recent policy change from our NSW education department and I can’t express how _________ I am.

Although the policy change is coming from a （赞美形容词） and （赞美形容词）intention, little notice and deliberation has been carried out which has surprised all parents, especially those whose kids have just taken in the OC/Selective exams.

More importantly, no consultation and communication has come out from the Department prior to the announcement. All parents have been kept in the dark. It's clearly showed the lack of transparency and fairness in this policy making which are simply against the fundamentals of democratic governance.

With many other parents, we support the Department to provide additional opportunities for kids from disadvantaged communities. However it should not be at the expense of other hard working kids. The public education system is for every kids and no one should be disadvantaged. With this policy change, some kids will lose their opportunities for a better education which is against the intention of the Department.

The MOST important, could you please put your new policy on hold, until it is well consulted?

Thank you,
Your name

我改了下。算是对于新州家长朋友们的支持。

正常的给部长的信件可以直接写她的名字。另外信件1可以直接发到她的办公室。如果有是她选区的家长，可以直接给她的办公室打电话要求面谈。多施加压力

1）limited consultation: 楼上写得很好 可以着重： the most important stakeholders of the policy: the () of families who registered and took the Selective exam in 2022 were kept in the dark.
2）the nature of the policy does not improve the status quo but goes backwards in the following areas:
a) by not giving straight and exact exam marks to families of candidates, it goes backwards in transparency, without which fairness is not achievable.
b) by setting a percentage of admittance of certain groups of students, it goes against
The High Potential and Gifted Education Policy  which "promotes engagement and challenge for every student, regardless of background, in every school across intellectual, creative, social-emotional and physical domains."
下面这条也可说
c) It is going backwards in achieving excellence for students learning English as a second language. Currently, a large number of students in selective school come from non-English speaking background. The HSC results of the selective schools in the past decades proved that past Policy recognised and catered for  those students' potential and talent. These students will be unfairly disadvantaged by the new policy.
d) Selective test is very competitive, 10% difference in performance affects not only those admitted into the program because of the lowered bar but also those unfairly barred out, the former might struggle to cope with peers in Selective school while the later might not get enough support for their talent in a comprehensive school. The new policy is crude and irresponsible to both groups of students.

动一动指头，敲敲键盘，就可以得到这么多给力的回应！这就是传说中的键盘侠的快乐吗？终于体验了一把！

这么多事不关己的家长，慷慨地牺牲自己的宝贵时间研究政策、写邮件、为大家贡献模板，你们就是一代移民的强有力的后浪，把二代孩子们妥妥地护送上岸！这个故事，可以讲给以后的他们听，他们定会为你们感到骄傲！

新州的家长，加油！
已经有好多模板了，没时间写的话，就丰俭自由，长短自由、改改拼拼，组装加工一下，一定要发出去！
考试具体分数都不公布了，不要让刷姓氏录取的时代，在移民二代还未都长成前到来！

Hi,
I am writing to you to express my frustration over the new policies impacting the selection criteria for Selective High Schools and Opportunity Classes (OC).
As a parent of children who have been directly impacted by these new policies, I urge the Department of Education to postpone the rollout for a year. While I see the merit in your proposition, I believe the department has failed to see the impact this will have on children who had already started their journey for these programs.
As parents, we received absolutely no notice about this announcement -- seeing it for the first time in the media instead. Why was more widespread community consultation not done with parents who would be directly involved?
These decisions have serious impacts on the future of children like mine.
If we had known about the introduction of these new policies, we would have taken different decisions when selecting the schools we applied for and yet now we are not in a position to fix anything.
Instead of reserving 20 per cent of the spots, it would have been far more equitable to create 20 per cent of new spots in areas experiencing disadvantage.
Apart from the rules around quotas, myself and countless other parents are disappointed in the lack of transparency around the marks.
Why has the department decided to not disclose the marks of students so at least they know by what marks they have missed out? This information will also be helpful for parents and students even if they don't get into selective schools and OC as they can use it to inform their child's learning in any other school.
I am confident that I am not the only parent who has voiced my opinion on this issue.
I implore you to consider our suggestions. If left with no choice, we are looking at pursuing a class action while abandoning the government in the upcoming election.

我是这样发的，希望有需要的家长可以拿去用????

前些日子论坛里这个话题火热时，版主提醒我，不要激动。我说我不是激动，是兴奋。
今天看到主流媒体的报道，虽然没那么全面，但是至少给事实和正义了一些空间，虽然放在最后。那也是巨大的变化和进步啊。
我这次，可以用激动来形容了。那些牺牲个人时间为孩子们努力的不知名不知背景的家长们，他们的付出终于得到来自社会的一丝回报了。
