For some curious reason, our race to the bottom of the standards pool, has us now eradicating creativity and imagination. Writing is a skill and what is writing if not creative?

The things that make life worth living, are under threat and are making this country, one to be avoided. I have just returned from overseas and for these reasons, students are opting to study in many other countries and considering Australia to be a last resort. Our standards are so low and our imagination so little.
