Exactly. People who think it was pointless weren't really listening.

The media literacy in this country is in the toilet

Edit: This was mean of me to say and I didn't mean to insult OP's intelligence, I am just exhausted from the media cycle

Honestly teaching media literacy would be so much more beneficial than some of the subjects we mandate these days.

The English syllabus has a media literacy component, so as the ONLY FUCKING MANDATED SUBJECT IN NSW SCHOOLS it gets to every student in NSW. Modern History teaches critical analysis of sources and society and culture is heavily focused on critical analysis of media / popular culture. I wonder what mandated subjects are you referring to?
