same news, different views

naplan results are published, see what you want

The West sees that girls are clear winners. That is, girls get better results than boys. Same old same old.
The ABC sees the same results and sees that the results for boys and girls are not as different as in the past. The West sees the difference. The ABC sees a closing gap.
I'm sure both are correct. Each media organisation sees a different story -- in the same facts.
From the millions of available stories, each selects what their audience probably wants. Or... they select what they want their audience to believe.

I was more interested in the ABC introduction to the story:
One school has improved its students' naplan results. Forget the student-led learning by discovery. One school has switched to actual teaching. Here are things you need to know, learn them.And the students actually learn.
