我觉得My School 红红火火的结果是好学校更好了，差学校因为没有生源而更差了，最后招不满人，没有足够的政府资金支持而被迫关门，会不会这样？
和SMH一样，the daily telegraph上个礼拜也有过一遍慷慨激昂的文章，里面有些和你问题有关系。。。
具体怎么样谁也不好说呀。
My School empowers the public
From: The Sunday Telegraph
January 31, 2010 12:00AM
THE My School website is a raging success for parents, for children and, most notably, for the Deputy Prime Minister, Julia Gillard.
The site, which for the first time enables all Australians to access numeracy and literacy test scores for every school, has been seized upon by a community hungry for information - by mums and dads determined to make informed, intelligent choices about the education of their children.
The Sunday Telegraph supported the concept of My School since it was first mooted. We were extremely confident it was a service the public badly wanted. More than 10 million hits later, the public has spoken. The site was open for business at 1am Thursday and before dawn it was jammed.
That is the direct result of Julia Gillard's political skill. For the federal Education Minister, this is a triumph. There will be no doubt in the public's mind that My School is Gillard's project, and that she - not Kevin Rudd - is the architect of its success.
It's the latest instalment in the remarkable rise of Gillard, from a harsh-voiced Victorian union official to the nation's most interesting and dynamic politician sitting one seat away from the most powerful seat in the land. Some teachers have run a strident and determined campaign of opposition to the site, led by an Australian Education Union which has been determined to highlight and exploit fear and play to the emotions of parents who simply want the best for their children.
In taking on the union - indeed, threatening recalcitrant teachers with action in the industrial courts - Gillard proved her fearlessness. She will never be called a union patsy again.
And as it turned out, the teachers failed to sense the public mood. They failed to grasp what the smart analysts have been saying for months - that the results would not simply "stigmatise" schools in low-income areas. In fact, the opposite has happened: the data exposed some high-fee private schools as laggards, and hailed the excellence of some state schools - like Boggabilla Central, Glebe Public and Artarmon Public, all of which shone through as superb performers.
Indeed, Artarmon's principal said it right when she hailed her school's excellent results as a victory not just for her teachers but the entire local community. This is exactly how strong school communities grow: with informed, interested parents who are involved in the debate.
Parents are not afraid of their school getting a low ranking. They want to know the truth. And the truth is that, if a school is underperforming, parents now have the ammunition with which to lobby MPs and hold education bureaucrats accountable.
Parents now have the power of knowledge in order to campaign for reform.
That's what My School is about and that is why media outlets including The Sunday Telegraph have editorialised in favour of it.
In modern Australian political history, the launch of My School is the most well-received and impressive release of information to the public. |
