I'm glad to note that grammar will once more be taught in Australian schools, thanks to changes to the school curriculum proposed by the National Curriculum board...a federal government effort to get some sort of conformity of education across the states. "The board's chairman, Barry McGaw, said a renewed focus on teaching English as a language, rather than a tool for cultural studies, would help raise literacy standards for all students."
I did a rant on this last week (http://peculiaristmindtrap.blogspot.com/2008/10/i-did-learned-good-english.html). I'd like to think that rant had something to do with the change in curriculum, but reasonable logic would dictate otherwise. Still, I'm going to chalk it up as a win...
