A few weeks back the topic was finishing year 12 as a sort of watershed for young people and the types of issues and challenges that it raises for them. For some reaon they asked Horin's opinion and she - looking like a raddled septegenarian, must have been the lights and camera angle - said rather snootily that poor, marginalised and minority youth don't even get to do year 12.<br /><br />It struck me as the sort of remark that a self-consciously angry seventeen year old might come out with at a family gathering, both to shock and to demonstate a superior level of sensibility and compassion. The obvious reply to this sort of cheap and immature sub-Marxism -'How many marginalised/minority youth do you actually know?' wasn't ventured by the Channel 10 reporters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-56688027064657487952012-01-22T08:58:02.178+11:002012-01-22T08:58:02.178+11:00Perhaps Fairfax should consider subscribing to Tur...Perhaps Fairfax should consider subscribing to Turnitin and insist that everything A.Dill writes be submitted through it.
