Age readers respond to the failures of the state education system, and the Voice.
, 18/9) has realised that the architectural fad for open plan schools has created a nightmare of noise and chaos. In secondary schools, students may not be encouraged to new fields and rather may be able to do minimal work within groups or in “free projects” while waving to friends or messaging them on screens. There can be no discussion of an issue in a vast room with lights, noise and action. You can’t have quiet reading. Good luck with quality creative writing.
I don’t think open plan is good and remember the enclosures made with lockers to limit distraction, if not noise, in the early ’90s for a trendy open plan school built in 1976.Open plan rooms do not have any subject-appropriate pictures, aids or “ownership”. The actual words say a body representing Indigenous citizens may advise the government. And, that the parliament has the power to decide the detail of what that body looks like and how it is created. The only thing parliament can’t do if we vote Yes is to abolish the Voice. In reading the amendment to the Constitution, I can’t find anything else that supports the other more detailed and at times alarmist claims being made.
However, to make the Voice a permanent feature of political life in the hope that it might achieve good results may be seen by some voters as a step too far. I think the question of permanence is exercising the minds of many undecided voters and it is, therefore, crucial that the Minister for Indigenous Australians, Linda Burney, debates this issue with her opposition counterpart, Jacinta Nampijinpa Price.
