 Australians place a high value on independence and personal choice. This
means that a teacher or course tutor will not tell students what to do, but will give
them a number of options and suggest they work out which one is the best in their
circumstances. It also means that they are expected to take action if something goes
wrong and seek out resources and support for themselves.
 Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believing
there is one truth. This means that in an educational setting, students will be expected
to form their own opinions and defend the reasons for that point of view and the
evidence for it.
 Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence idealise the
idea of treating everyone equally. An illustration of this is that most adult Australians
call each other by their first names. This concern with equality means that Australians
are uncomfortable taking anything too seriously and are even ready to joke about
themselves.
 Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure
time. As a consequence, some students may be critical of others who they perceive as
doing nothing but study.
 Australian notions of privacy mean that areas such as financial matters,
appearance and relationships are only discussed with close friends. While people may
volunteer such information, they may resent someone actually asking them unless the
friendship is firmly established. Even then, it is considered very impolite to ask
someone what they earn. With older people, it is also rude to ask how old they are,
why they are not married or why they do not have children. It is also impolite to ask
people how much they have paid for something, unless there is a very good reason for
asking.

threatening general knowledge? When I put that to Moira Jones, expert in designing
IQ tests, she referred me to the story of the Egyptian god Thoth. It goes like this:
Thoth offers writing as a gift to the king of Egypt, declaring it an "elixir of memory
and wisdom." But the king is horrified, and tells him: "This invention will induce
forgetfulness in the souls of those who have learned it, because they will not need to
exercise their memories, being able to rely on what is written." Who wants to be a
millionaire finalist David Swift responding to the same question, recognizes that there
was a problem of young people saying: "I don't need to know that, but he is far more
excited about the educational potential of the Internet. "There is so much more
information out there, giving people opportunities to boost their general knowledge."
 After all, the Internet might just help us to forget more and more. But
meanwhile, the continuing popularity of quizzes and game shows shows us that
general knowledge is strong enough to remain.

 Parents, who have so many demands on their time, are perhaps not in the best
position to instil untraditional values in their offspring. Children are very demanding
and grandparents, without appearing to be pushy, have both the time and the
experience to deal with tantrums. They can appease, soothe and impart values with
tremendous case. Any nation's traditional culture is rich and varied, but how many
children recognise this? Grandparents can teach them to value cultural traditions and
thereby inform their moral development.

 Today, text-messaging has probably become young people's most common
form of communication. Some teachers think that because of this, young people are
not writing correctly at school. They fear that once students get used to it, they will
find it hard to switch back to using correct grammar and spelling. How did things
begin this way?
 It all began with e-mail, online chat rooms, and games. Then step by step
young people made sentences, phrases and words shorter. As text messaging
continued to become popular, people invented more and more words. Today, it is like
a real language with its own grammar and vocabulary. The growth of text-messaging
has raised an important question: As students become fluent in text-messaging, do
their writing skills suffer?
 People have different ideas about the effects of text-messaging on students'
writing skills. Some say that students are losing the ability to write long, correct
sentences. Others say that text-messaging is having a good effect on the language
students use in their schoolwork. It shows that they are creative and good at
expressing themselves. And if students can keep the two systems separate - one for
text-messaging and one for school - this will help students appreciate reading and
writing more.
