Real progress is illusive


“When modern sociologists talk of the necessity of accommodating one’s self to the trend of the time, they forget that the trend of the time at its best consists entirely of people who will not accommodate themselves to anything. At its worst it consists of many millions of frightened creatures all accommodating themselves to a trend that is not there.”
- G.K. Chesterton, Heretics
Everyone agrees we need an education revolution in Australia. Greenlabor are afraid that it may only occur if we look more closely at what worked in the past -that's awefully conservative stuff .
