TEAHERS have threatened to boycott literacy and numeracy testing unless the publication of league tables is outlawed.
The Australian Education Union federal conference yesterday unanimously passed the recommendation to boycott the implementation of NAPLAN in May "unless satisfactory measures are introduced to stop the future creation and publication of league tables".


Who would have thought The Mercury would make a spelling mistake in the first word of the article?

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Nowadays, I feel good, I begin take up real money.
It gets down to select a correct partner who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the profit with me.

You may ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:

yes, whitey, who would have thought it? they usually scatter them more evenly throughout the article.

But why such attention to detail? Is someone paying you a fee for every curious media error you find?

I have been spammed again!

At least this one is obviously dodgy - and they are not paying me a cut.
