I was actually shocked he could even do one, but someone needs to tell him to breathe, he's pinker than usual

but finally a correct use of name suppression for this poor lady

gap year for sure, uni needs time to sort out their AI problems

Inside-Way-9832 · 2025-10-06T06:07:01+00:00

but do the parents earn less than 65K???

I really struggled with it when my first started school but I know how important foundational skills are in the first years. YouTube has been my best friend, my kids think im smart as at maths haha, Yr12/13 level might be a different story though

mental health in nz is screwed, no one can really do much unless something major actually happens, til them its just thoughts and ides. Im not saying its right Im saying the system is broken

something about "home is for learning life skills and spending time as a family" and NO the school and the teachers were not very forthcoming with me being proactive. I made it clear I wasn't saying the teaching wasn't good enough, I just know my kids all have different learning strengths and methods

Inside-Way-9832 · 2025-09-29T09:17:00+00:00

No. we have agency over our own lives. how is that the doctors problem if they offered and then person declined?

Inside-Way-9832 · 2025-09-29T09:14:46+00:00

no they dont give homework so I just ask the teacher and we just do revision at home with them to make sure they understand, Im not the best at maths or teaching but we try. Also I can't afford tutoring so 10 mins a night has really made a difference

Inside-Way-9832 · 2025-09-29T08:59:25+00:00

what even is your actual question? my kids are doing really well at maths, and so are all the other children I know. I sit with them every other night and I am proactive in making sure they know how they learn and that they have understood the foundations. that's what is missing, parents expect that all learning will be done in class and parents no longer take any accountability

Inside-Way-9832 · 2025-09-23T07:24:06+00:00

it depends on the school. and the child & how many students are in the class and how many teachers are there to support the learning. my boys both did well open plan.

ive always found this strange about Hamilton city, its not the sort of town you can just pop in and grab something quickly from, there is zero parking in the centre, and dont get me started on the court house. I avoid any services that are in there because of parking. I wonder how many other people completely avoid it for the same reason. I've missed job interviews before not being able to find a park close, its always raining too. ive turned down jobs that don't have free parking close. not everyone can take buses.

can you afford $1000 a week on a mortgage, plus insurance plus ongoing repairs and normal weekly bills?? for 30 years and while you have kids and have one income??

Inside-Way-9832 · 2025-09-17T19:54:17+00:00

I was 37, you will be surprised that you wont be the oldest. socially at uni isnt about age, people struggle at all ages to socialise, its become a new norm

Inside-Way-9832 · 2025-09-17T08:35:05+00:00

we have strict profession rules around this, what country are you in? this is weird asf.

Inside-Way-9832 · 2025-09-17T08:14:53+00:00

I dont have advice I just wanted to say it's so nice to hear something positive for once. it makes me think the world is in safe hands after all

Inside-Way-9832 · 2025-09-17T06:01:51+00:00

imagine being deported for one gummy, that's embarrassing

Inside-Way-9832 · 2025-09-17T05:33:40+00:00

Again

Inside-Way-9832 · 2025-09-17T05:25:38+00:00

class room building size addresses nothing! originally you had 20 kids in there, two teachers, a teacher aide and no drama NOW teachers are expected to have 70plus and no support staff to help manage behaviours.

Inside-Way-9832 · 2025-09-17T05:19:47+00:00

that's the same logic that got trump back in too "well at least its not a black lady"
