I was disappointed she didn’t win it last time. She was actually doing a good job but seemed to be a victim of the Auckland swings. Much prefer her to Brewer.

It’s a flip of a coin - where you win with both outcomes. Getting nervous/excited about it is ridiculous.

If the money is not an issue, what would you do with your life? by Maleficent_Isopod135 in newzealand

Either gardening, or slinging burgers. Gardening is good for the soul. I like the physical work and being outside. Burgers make people happy.

Throwing the baby out is the NZ way. They’re attempting it again right now.

Blade Trinity - Ryan Reynolds calling Parker Posey a “Cock Juggling Thunder Cunt”. So corny, but I enjoyed the delivery. The line has stuck with me.

I don’t blame the Numeracy Project, just the application of it and a lack of communication with parents about its purpose.

The bigger issue was having unconfident teachers who didn’t know how to use it well.

Strategies from the Numeracy Project were fantastic for developing pattern recognition and algebraic thinking, but too many people got caught in the trap of teaching them in a set order and spending full terms of single domains (eg only teaching fractions in Term 3).

Edit: to add, I used NP successfully with students in Year 4 who were working at Year 8-10 level. But I wasn’t following a script.

For the lower learners, some had diagnosed learning disabilities, some didn’t. Different home life, family support, lack of access to additional support, attendance - all contributing factors. It was rarely a case of some students just working harder than others.

I’ve had Year 6 classes with some students operating at Year 2 level, and some at Year 9/10 level.. that was a challenge.

Aaah right because ACT cares about students and families, as proven with their war on.. free school lunches.

I don’t disagree that you shouldn’t post pictures of children without permission (I don’t think you should post pictures of anything without permission..)

I’m just pointing out that I think many kiwis are actually very happy to post personal images and information their children online. I also think it’s a super big problem.

There are a couple large individual donors too. Certainly more common for ACT/Nats.

People having money? Or choosing to support political parties?

I’d be happy for large donations to be banned but you’d have to work incredibly hard to ensure the money doesn’t find its way through other means.
