Yip, and Led by the Maori caucus with bimbo as a messenger!
The poor want to eat the rich.
The rich pay the poor, while dining out in enclave's.
The middle class worker suffers by paying for both!

don't forget Hipkins has been Minister of (dis)Education until beginning of 2023 from Kiwi Blog The latest school attendance data is disastrousAfter sitting on the data for two months, the Minister has finally released attendance data for Term 3 of 2022. Here’s the key points:
Only 46% of students attending regularly, compared to 60% in 2019
13% of students are attending less than 70% of the time, compared to 7% in 2019
Only 33% of Maori And Pacific students attending regularly, and 22% are attending fewer than 70% of the time
Regular attendance for Decile 1 schools is just 30%
So one in eight students are chronically absent from school, missing at least 12 weeks a year.
and
Term Three Attendance Comparisons
This is straight from the Ministry of Education’s data arm (who are VERY good) – Education Counts.
What will be done about Tinetti’s admission that she sat on this data since December and refused all OIAs? It MUST be the first resignation of the Hipkin’s government.

Isn't this attendance problem just a result of locking kids out of school for a year or so? Destroying their social connections, arbitrarily banning kids from their favourite sports teams, oh, And teaching them they can sit infront of a device all day (under the name of remote learning). I'm not surprised that if you teach kids to stay at home for a year, they then stay at home.... |

The level of remote learning offered by schools varied considerably
We had daily video class meets, programs and feedback with excellent resourcing. Kids were able to interact online with classmates. I was pretty impressed.
Talking with others, from different schools, indicated we were the exception, seemed to be mostly no contact or an email asking if you were OK, or maybe suggesting tuning in to the TV class lesson thing. It was a holiday for many schools and teachers. Still is for some.
Hipkins has been a complete failure so far and has been rewarded with the top job, what do you expect to get from that management model?

the teachers' strike begs a few questions, the obvious one is with education standards being so low and teachers not being assessed on their performance it is perhaps rather arrogant to be striking.
My comment might be considered overly simplistic but the visuals are not good
Piece from KiwiBlog by Alwyn Poole
Briefly on the Teachers Strike
On the AM Show this morning two unionist teachers – followed by Jan Tinetti made a complete mess of everything by not being honest.
Unionist: “Schools are the heart of the community.”
No they are not! Families are and while teachers hold themselves and their schools to be preeminent they will continue to lose students and have the huge attendance problems. This is part of the reason why we have an attendance crisis, 10,000 students not enrolled anyway and many leaving for homeschooling.
Unionist: “Striking is the only option.”
No it isn’t. Here are some others.
– Do a better job and improve results to bring back the support of families and the community.
– Acknowledge that some teachers are a lot better than others and find pathways out of teaching for those that need a different career.
– Acknowledge that many Primary school teachers are underqualified and offer to ensure that they upskill; especially in Math and Science.
– Reject the “Curriculum Refresh” which is full of ideological nonsense and campaign for a “Curriculum Simplification”.
– Be creative and positive and stop whining about your jobs and acting like the worst treated people in NZ.
– In terms of protest; don’t put kids on the street for the day. Take a leaf out of the book of the Eastern Europeans in the late 1980s. You claim that you work 24/7 – so have a full school day tomorrow. Work as you normally do until evening (there are no empty school car-parks in NZ at 3.30pm each day), then have a staff dinner, candle-light vigil and ask all of your families and community to join you. My guess is that it would be 5 times as powerful.
– Note that great schools like Manukura, Mt Hobson Academy, all of the Private Schools, sections of the Catholic Schools and compassionate State schools who simply feel that their students have missed to much school are fully open tomorrow.
Unionist: “The Ministry needs to decrease class sizes.”
A complete myth. Schools are funded by the number of students and then determine their own class-size through use of their operational funding.
A few years back I visited Harlem Children’s Zone. Their key rule is to never put the children on the street. They run from 7am – 7pm. They have incredible results. To put a child on the street tomorrow in many NZ communities is to put them at risk or require parents to fork out a days baby-sitting or take one of their precious annual leave days – while realising teachers have 12 weeks holiday a year.

i got terribly bored through large parts of high school as some classes moved so slowly into new material and frustrated in others as i couldn't keep upi did much better when surrounded by others of similar ability and it was much easier for the teacher in any group lesson i can think of; sports training, the mental gymnastics of electricity/physics/math, driver training, etc. the first step is always to group the students in groups according to ability and aling a teacher with that ability the woke brigade call this racist and insist it MUST STOPwww.1news.co.nz/2023/03/20/racist-streaming-in-schools-must-end-by-2030-researchers/i wonder of they think all; doctors, surgeons, climate change scientists, politicians etc should be grouped together to study at the speed of the slowest? where will they find these education magicians who must somehow teach 30? students of random ability in a way that doesn't lead to huge levels of frustration all round and reinforce stereotypes?what will they pay to temp them into the impossible? how will they judge them when the long term trend is down, down, downwe already have to import too many of our well-paid managers because the locals can't deliver if mixed ability classes produce superior results, then let some schools do it and provide these better resultsif the success of mixed ability classes can't be achieved unless grouping students by ability is bannedit clearly isn't about 'education' but 'social-engineering'and if labour and the greens want to 'socially engineer' us into what they think is bestthey should campaign on that"you're all wrong, we, the publicly funded left-wing elite, are right""you need to change for your own good + the change starts now"left wing authoritarianism the biggest killer the world has ever seen |

everything, everywhere all at once Te Tai Tokerau Principals Association president Pat Newman said by his count schools were getting to grips with 25 major changes.
"That's absolutely cuckoo," he said.
Newman said the government should reprioritise so schools could focus on just three or four major projects.
If it did not do that, there would be three likely reactions, he said.
"You'll find a heck of a lot more principals going and saying that we've had enough. It's already happening.
Secondly, you'll have schools that will try and bring the whole damn lot in and destroy their staff and destroy themselves,
and thirdly people just saying 'no, we're not doing it'," he said.www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/486922/fears-principals-will-quit-or-refuse-to-implement-long-programme-of-changes |

According to my Yr4 son (ie in the 8-9 yrs age range for those without kids), they study the Treaty of Waitangi 4-5 times per week…. WTF???!!!
I’m going g to ask his school if this is true and if so under who’s instruction (the MOE or their own decision)?
Anyone else got this problem? By “problem” I mean is their kid being distracted from the fundamentals of numeracy & literacy by spending critical learning time on a politicised historical event which will serve them precisely zero benefit as they go forward as citizens of the world (no potential employer in London or Paris or NY will give a shit that he’s fluent in Treaty translation but they will care about his STEM results).

Yes. My boy, 8, who is struggling with reading and writing but can count to ten in Te Reo. They have a karakia 3 times a day, and a few other such things. His 9 yr old sister is learning to say a speech in Te Reo (their life story or something). PS, I think you'll find, when Luxon says he will make schools teach an hour a day of reading, writing and maths, I assume that is implying he will ditch the Treaty / Te Reo BS at primary school. I'm surprised no one called it out as 'dog-whistle' politics. But if ever there was a dog whistle, I heard that one ;-) Edit, did I mention my son believes the world was created by a tree pushing his parents apart? A teacher friend at his school says they aren't allow to explain that legends are not true stories, because some people believe the Maori creationary twaddlebollocks legends. |

I emailed my 11y/o's teacher a month or so back asking what the go was with the Maori history teachings and that if they were going to teach their history pre-musket wars. I was told they were which was encouraging. Not sure it's impacting on the three R's though. I have no issue with Maori history being taught, I find it quite interesting, but as long as it's balanced and the kids are taught they were killing and eating each other for 100's of years before us savage colonisers arrived and ruined everything for them... Son was talking about their Maori lessons the other day and described it as - 'Maori stuff', in neither a good way or bad way but it made me chuckle heartily on the inside, he's 11 and it was like he could see they're getting it pushed down their throats. We watch 'kiwi codger' on youtube who has done a bunch of very dry but quite interesting vids on the musket wars, worth a watch if you can handle his dryness. The other thing is, nothing has changed, those tribes all still hate each other when push comes to shove, as proven by the debacle between Tainui and Ngati Whatua Orakei the other week at the haka competition where that useless carnt Tuku Morgan told the local Auckland tribe that the land in Auckland wasn't theirs and they had to go to a white mans court to get control of it rather than talk to Tainui... |
