If you read the Teen Spirit article in Review last Saturday (28/3/09), you may also have read the VAEDA President's response here on the blog, now we see the responses The Australian saw fit to print (Review March 7-8 2009 p2).
Interesting that both the responses, which are still very negative regarding art teaching and contemporary art in general, came from Western Australia - never recognised as a bastion of forward educational thought.
So Allen ridicules ARTEXPRESS, denigrates the NSW syllabus and the teachers who deliver it and the only responses that are printed are from WA!
I know for a fact that there were responses from NSW (from a variety of sources including academics and teachers) and it appears they were wholeheartedly ignored.
Yet another case of the media presenting a biased view and using this as a thinly veiled vehicle for more teacher bashing and in an "arts" magazine! Tsk Tsk!
