[Year 12 IT Apps] IT Lecture Notes

[Stephen Digby]

Suggest that the only response in a free society is peaceful civil disobedience.
It is obviously a case for a formal governmental protest from our representative bodies - schools, VITTA to
the Minister (and the opposition) 
Happy to host the material on my personal site and would love to see the VCAA try to defend this action in
public.
Silence is consent....
All it takes for evil to triumph  etc etc

Hear!  Hear!  Brett and Maggie.

The material Mark posted to the website served no other purpose than "educational".
His Exam Post-Mortem was very educational for fellow teachers and provided the vehicle for discussion and
debate, plus an insight into the thinking of someone well versed in the subject area.

Who can we grumble to?

Paula, where art thou???!!!!

Time for a very loud Mexican Wave!!!!
