There are stories about the local schools in the archives.
There's always a time for learning That's a true statement and it certainly applies to the schools around Oberon. And speaking of "around Oberon", Rockley Public School has been added to the collection from this week. |  |
 | When too much schooling is not enough The big news around Oberon's schools in the last week was Fathers' Day, but that wasn't all that went on.
And there are lambs! |
Schools keep on schoolin' There's been so much happening at Oberon's schools that teachers' heads are spinning so fast that a hum can be heard all over the town. But that's a good thing, because school should never be boring. |  |
 | Don't be a dropout Very good advice there from the great James Brown, but nobody's dropping out of the schools around Oberon. There's too much to do and learn there. |
Hey, teacher, teach those kids some more Despite what you might hear in some popular songs, the students at the schools around Oberon aren't just bricks in the wall. They are too busy learning things and doing educational activities. There's music, there's sport, there's zoos to visit. And more. |  |
 | What did you learn today? Lots! Including caves and cranes. Another educational week (and it was Education Week) for the schools around Oberon. |
Photos of children on the Internet It's a tragedy of our times that anything can be abused by perverts. The latest is that AI systems are being used to exploit photos of children by removing clothing or putting other heads on bodies. The world's largest pornography site, PornHub, recently banned one of their advertisers who was paying a million dollars a year to advertise AI-generated child porn. That company is Australian. Elon Musk is threatening to sue a US state because it has banned Musk's Grok AI for the ease with which it can be used to produce images of naked children. Musk claims this is an infringement of free speech, a statement that renders sane people speechless. Legitimate search engines are blocked from indexing any images on this site but it is almost impossible to prevent web site content from being scavenged by AI robots and the only alternative is to not publish photos, so over the next few weeks I will be going through all the sports and school reports on the site and removing any photos in which kids can be identified. (This tiny and obscure site is continually trawled by AI bots, although all except ChatGPT try to remain anonymous. The papers published by Nine Entertainment are currently being hit 30,000,000 times a month by AI content thieves. It is work for several people just to try to keep up with the blocking.) The two articles below from The Conversation address the danger of putting your kids' photos online. |  |
 | Whole lotta learning going on In the chilly hours and minutes of an Oberon day, the schools keep on filling students' heads with facts and stories. |
I like schoolin' and I'm not foolin' The educating (and sporting) keeps going on at the schools around Oberon. |  |
 | School life gradually returns It's a slow start to the term but there are things going on behind the curtain. |
