"inequality" in the homepage
brendan:
If we take your logic then therefore those who did VCE before 2008 would have had a disadvantage because they couldn't access VCENotes. So it I don't see how it's fair, or even semblant of equality to deny one generation resources that another had. That is NOT equality.

The two statements you described there are essentially the same. I don't see how they are a "direct counter" to each other.

I know that was my point. That's how the switch was designed.

Oh so this statement:
"the problem of inequality between students from differing socio-economic areas of society. The vast gap separating the top and bottom schools ensures that there are able, willing and motivated students who are being left behind, struggling at the bottom."
was referring to inequality in school resources between different generations? i c.

Of course my scenario doesn't talk about different generations. It's YOUR retarded scenario that presents such a problem.

enwiabe:
That's EXACTLY THE POINT. We are trying to ADvantage those of the new generation. The past generation is past. It would be ludicrous to deny resources to a new generation that the previous generation had.
I should have been more clear because you are very clearly a semantic dickhead who loves to argue for the sake of arguing.
Improving educational standards for one generation and thus creating an inequality between a more recent generation to an earlier generation, where the inequality favours the recent generation is desired. This is because the older generation could not be helped.
However, the reversed scenario is most undesirable. And that is because it COULD be helped.
Your absolutely stupid scenario presents this. It's riddled with bullet holes. VCE Notes is about improving equality, but not at the cost of the reduction of educational standards. However, that should be self-evident. And to argue that it isn't is to miss the patently obvious.
This is the most idiotic thing I've ever seen on this forum. And that's saying a lot.

Ah there we have it, so inequality after all isn't such a bad thing.
