I am a strong Advocate for 'the Gift' usually known as Dyslexia as I have the gift myself. Many people believe that Dyslexia is a disability when in fact, it is nicknamed the gift for a reason. Dyslexia literally means ‘trouble with words’. It is a term used to describe difficulties with reading, writing, spelling and mathematical symbols. Tapping into the way dyslexics think may help solve some of the world's remaining mysteries - at least that's what some Guru's in the dyslexic world say. Australia - M...

Bird's Eye View: Natural Standards v Budget announcements
http://birdseyeblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/natural-standards-v-budget.html
Andrew Bird's blog about education and leadership. Thursday, May 24, 2012. Natural Standards v Budget announcements. We know that our children are all different. That is one of the great joys of being part of the school environment. We know that children grow at different rates and enjoy different things. They are not the same and they are not widgets. Mandarins and oranges while similar, are different. Posted by Andrew Bird. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). THOUGHT FOR THE DAY.

Bird's Eye View: Parents donate $250 million annually to state schools
http://birdseyeblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/parents-donate-250-million-annually-to.html
Andrew Bird's blog about education and leadership. Monday, February 27, 2012. Parents donate $250 million annually to state schools. I found this article long overdue. It was on STUFF in the weekend and really presents more questions than provides answers. It also goes hand in hand with my previous post about. It doesn't really fall within the Education Act.

Bird's Eye View: Public funding of private schools
http://birdseyeblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/public-funding-of-private-schools.html
Andrew Bird's blog about education and leadership. Tuesday, April 17, 2012. Public funding of private schools. As a state school principal who sits at the knife edge of decision-making around just the basics of what we can or can't have for the children of our community I find this handout to Collegiate unacceptable, particularly in the context of my last post on special needs funding. The discussions clarifies many myths around the private and state education divide. Posted by Andrew Bird.
