Sorry!
Naw it ain't us. Our dear leader has closed down parliament due to a fear that he was going to be overthrown from a coalition of other political parties. He is putting together a new Federal Budget and will not be heard from until February. Ahhh politics at their best . . .

I’ve come to a frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It’s my personal approach that creates the climate. It’s my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child’s life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or dehumanized.
