Parents win laptop challenge
The few parents which attended the meeting held at Carenne Special School where Michael Auld tried to push software which would be owned by the school on to parents instead of laptop computers like all other Australian high schools have had a victory it seems with this week's newletter indicating that all Year 9 students in 2010 will receive a netbook computer.
Initially parents were told that those who didn't agree to Mr Auld's proposal would be able to opt out and receive a netbook but this will now not be the case it seems and all students will receive a netbook computer. At the meeting Mr Auld and Simone Russell said that the software proposal was best for students.
It demonstrates how the dedication of a few can deliver positive change.

It is always the same people involved in the rorts isn't it?
This "teacher" had the audacity to call me at home today from the school (I have caller ID) and talk to me about this. He said two parents had thrown a spanner in the works and the software wouldn't be happening now, even though it was the best option for students. He even NAMED the parents to me.
a breech of parents rights again,no secrets in that school.
It seems privacy is a secondary concern as long as you have the chance to put the boot into someone.
Did he threaten the parents? I hear he makes death threats against people when he can't get his own way and that his bosses think its amusing.
michael has made lots of threats and thought it was funny he stopped carter coming back by making them. he was laughing that he got away with threaten nathan and that nathan not come back to carenne.
