Its interesting that the Coombabah government school experiment in intensive 
began at the same time as MLC. After a 4 year trial (at Coombabah) which by all 
accounts was successful this innovation was not continued. Good logo teachers 
then migrated over to the Private system. 

This is a good example of how hopeless government bureaucracy is. If there are 
enough chairs in the room and the person out the front breathes then government 
is satisfied.
