[Year 12 IPM] ITA ("IPM 2007") summary

[Nick Axaris]

Sorry Keith I disagree.
I think I was restrained in what I wrote and it's an expression of what 
I and countless others feel.
Sometimes you have to sink in the boots in order to get the message 
across that we want to be heard and appreciated for our comments
These same concerns were raised a few years back and the powers that be 
have completely ingnored us.
This is OUR future at stake and those very people who have redesigned 
more or less the same course have put a nail in the coffin of IT 
education in this state and our jobs as IT teachers.
"sexing" up the name is not enough.

I'm sorry if I have offended anyone but I have been offended by the course.
