Linda

//__About Me the worker__ My teaching career has been long and rewarding, but I have had experience of other work, since I was a student at high school through to the end of tertiary studies, and after..namely... working as a dogsbody in a photographic studio slave in an ice-cream factory waitressing from the "high" ( Atheneum Club, Collins Street ) to the "low" ( Burger en Bier, Damrak, Amsterdam ) tout for a backpackers' hotel before term "backpackers" existed assistant to Mr Twistie ( the snack food ) server in auto parts store researcher / statistician with education union private tutor

__About Me - Teaching__// I have taught secondary school in the inner city of Melbourne, the suburbs and in country Victoria. I have always taught in the government system ( apart from an unpaid stint at St Ignatius Richmond when I was a Dip Ed student ) I have an abiding, visceral commitment to the government system - I was provided with an excellent education and superb teachers in my time, and believe very strongly that the tradition of equal opportunity should be extended to all subsequent generations in any society that aspires to civilisation.

I deplore the attempted ghetto-isation of public education and the orchestrated attacks on it by a sensationalist media.

__About Me - some bare facts__ Born in Kew, Melbourne, to an Irish mother and Scottish father. Matriculated from Burwood High School to Monash University. Majored in English and Sociology. Lived in Mildura for 20 years. Happily married since 1978, I am the mother to two young adults, Elizabeth and Julia. Both are studying at Monash Uni.
