Pay attention to the battery installers in the Dodgy house

While applauding the Labor plan to subsidize the batteries for solar energy houses (“Savings of $ 4000 of Albo on Solar“, April 6), the Just Hope That The Huge Take-Up of the Offer Doesn’T See a Flood of Uniqualified Installers Coming Out of the Woodwork As It Did For Kevin Rudd’s Pink Batts Scheme, Which Resulted in the Death of Four World. A Home Battery Incorrectly Installed Could Result In a house fire and possibly, make more fatalities. Peter Miniutti, Ashbury

We hope that this scheme has strong regulatory and quality control measures before you start. Other praisable initiatives, such as the NDIS and even the pink Batts, have highlighted Shonky operators and even illegal to the first breath of money of the government. We don’t need a wave if the battery caused domestic fires before a problem is recognized. Viv Mackenzie, Port Hacking

As owner of a home battery, I can attest to the savings to be made by approving the power from the roof. From the purchase of the battery, the only relationship I had with the grill is that I sell us energy. The battery allows me to “ban” during the day, when it is abundant, so sell it at night, when the power supply is much higher. It is common to get 25 ¢ to chilowattora, but I saw it up to $ 18.48. I earned $ 36 that evening, in no time. I also done a favor to my companions Sydneysiders, providing extra power when there was a shortage in the grid. Well done at work and vegetables to give priority to the launch of batteries at home. Ken Enderby, Concord

Devices that replace teachers

I was a lone wolf who denigrated the use (excessive) of the devices in my son’s school, as well as the learning of the investigations with guidance by the students (“Laptop before the laces: pupils linked to digital education“, April 6). It is a concern when they don’t care about why your child is absent because they can do their job at home with access to an online” diary “, get their assignments or other information and send their tasks. No implicated direct learning. Jenny Greenwood, hunters

Hand writing seems to be almost a lost art, deterioration to the point of illegal and the excessive use of digital devices from a young age must take a large part of the fault. Although a certain exposure to digital devices is undoubtedly useful compared to the year 2 or 3 to the elementary school, learning directly from a teacher together with the ability to read, write clearly and articulate is much more important in these first years of education. Furthermore, most students would agree that in the search to store important facts, the handwriting of information during the learning process is priceless help. Geoff Harding, Chatswood

If private schools want to request students of any age to provide their laptops, they are their business, but it is totally beyond the mandate of public schools to request the same as their students, regardless of where the school is located. An education provided by the government with the necessary equipment is a basic requirement. Education ministers should knock on this ridiculous idea on the head and, if necessary, participate in an agreement with the federal educational authorities. Ian Adair, Hunters Hill

The boys need practical activities

Parnell Palme McGuinness, with his experience with a pre-adolescence, offers further insights on Adolescence problems (“Things that “adolescence” are wrong“, April 6). In fact, after teaching teenagers for a career life and two years in the United Kingdom, I can say that there is very little Adolescence It is wrong and sometimes, as in the school episode, it does not go far enough. The boys continuously try to find themselves, adopt radical ideas and justify their thoughts. Research has shown experiential learning, practical activities and practical activities to better test personal resolution function. Many of which have been cut in schools both in the United Kingdom and in Australia. The research has been delivered, government financing is now essential. Janice Creenaune, Austinmer

In the end we have almost equality between the sexes and some men cannot cope. Women are empathetic, but you can’t go back. Why shouldn’t men meet us as the same? Claudia Drevikovsky, Croydon

Cats sugar gliders

With the cats that run rampant in our urban landscape, someone can explain to me why they are legal, while maintaining native sugar floods while pets is put out of the outlaw (“Sugar gliders abandoned outside the Scottish supermarket“, April 6)? Can we exchange an exchange? Toby Waters, Emerald Beach
