  • It’s the period where the brain is doing the most development. You learn more in the first few years than at any other stage in life. As such we are able to set in motion a lifelong passion for creativity, exploration, and learning. Basic skills such as social interaction, picking up multiple languages, transferring or adapting prior knowledge to new situations, persisting through a challenging situation, etc. Not to say this can’t be taught later in life, but it’s so much easier at this age.


  • As an early childhood educator, I’m always wary of government attempts at this. Shame the article doesn’t mention any more.

    Does it come with increased benefits for the overworked, underpaid educators or does it add more children into an already struggling sector?

    What are the curriculum requirements/framework like?

    Is it paying for profit centres to do it for free and get paid a set sum by the state or is it state run centres?

    We’re not just a place to dump children while families work. It’s the most critical education period a child will ever go through.

    I’ve received your report claiming @Deceptichum@quokk.au was ‘Harassment & stalking’ you and have found zero evidence of them downvoting any posts of yours outside of this thread in the last 2 pages.

    I have found ample evidence of sexism and racism originating from yourself however, and it is for that reason i will be banning you from our instance.





  • Electorialism is irreverent to anarchism. Our time and effort can be better spent on building up parallel communities.

    I vote every 4 years because it’s a material choice of 10 minutes in line at the local school or a fine worth an hours work if I don’t. If someone wants to vote because they think it might do harm reduction, who cares? What matters is where they’re spending their energy.

    Way I see it, ditch the party campaigning, vote for them if you want - it won’t make a difference, and focus on something more beneficial.
