Harrison, Neil – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2021
Many great cultures of the world have recognised the impossibility of teaching. Governments in various colonial countries continue to spend huge sums of money on 'closing the gap' in Indigenous education, yet national assessment figures would support the claim that teaching is indeed an impossibility.

Martin, Brian – Australian Universities' Review, 2018
Universities seek to promote student learning, but assessment and credentials can undermine students' intrinsic motivation to learn.

In his book entitled "Teaching Defiance: Stories and strategies for activist educators," this author asserted that, although his book was not a discussion of the Iraq war, it was concerned with the way the war has been "waged" in the countries of the three invaders: the USA, the UK and Australia. For him, the fact that each…
