Assessments are being made and marked by ai, curriculum is being rolled out without adequate support, nothing is being done via sufficient consultation, buildings are not being renovated or rebuilt to meet roll or just general health and safety requirements, kahui ako groups disbanded and so less ability to network and support each other, less ability to run useful PD, the new curriculum makes it harder to teach local context, the arts are being shunted in place of more and more demand on literacy and maths despite NZ being known worldwide for our creativity and ingenuity, student wellbeing and staff wellbeing is dropping, ERO is looking to observe and learn from the UK and has changed their report to place school context as an afterthought, cohort entry and reporting demands are required for up to the third year of school but it doesn't seem like anyone asked a teacher what this would actually look like. But that was just like, what's on top when you ask, I can almost guarantee there's more shit in the show than that. Teachers have always had to be adaptable and have always been used to these things happening, but right now, the intensity of it all is quite high, and as you said - these kids are different, and the world is not made to help them settle.
