Reading wars in Australian schools: students caught in the crossfire

Boomer sleeps in the crook of Callum Milkins’ neck while he plays video games, and snuggles up to his chin in bed. Parrots make affectionate pets, so Callum’s mother Melinda bought one three years ago to ease her son’s loneliness. Boomer has been a loyal friend, and his companionship is even more valuable now that Callum has quit school and spends most of his time at home.
Callum plans to look for a job but work can be hard to find in Lance Creek, a small town outside Wonthaggi on Victoria’s Bass Coast, and the 17-year-old has an extra hurdle: he struggles to read. That’s why he refused to return when classrooms reopened last year after the first COVID-19 shutdown. Callum, a stocky young man with brown curls and clear blue eyes, is softly spoken and looks at his hands when he speaks. He’s fascinated by astronomy and adores his pets: along with Boomer, there’s a lizard, dog and chooks. But there’s no mistaking how he feels about school. “It was like going to hell every single day. And getting tortured and then going home,” he says.
