And so we chuck another human being on the scrapheap, yes we write them off like a crashed car. Hopefully they will crawl away into obscurity even better still die. Problem solved!
Here is a de-identified extract from some sentencing remarks from 2021 in the NT.
While s/he was enrolled at many schools across the Top End, s/he rarely attended. S/He cannot read and write and her/his grasp of English is poor, mostly learned from other prisoners. The offender has never been gainfully employed.
Seems the attendance programs really worked for this young person. They really engaged! Congratulations to Karen Weston and Tony Considine.
IF ONLY WE COULD CRUSH THEM AND SMELT THEM!

Perhaps of our readers are now understanding why corruption in schools is no laughing matter.
