And don’t forget the Numeracy Project. They totally forgot about the basics. No point in having 5 strategies to multiplication if you don’t know 7x6.
What remedial backup? The govt is cutting funding for things like support staff.
Let's hope they do a better rebuild than the Nats. Their current gene pool is so shallow it's scary.
Structured literacy emerges as a promising solution to this literacy crisis So not actually proven, then. From my limited (20years+) teaching experience, one size does NOT fit all.
Here you go. https://www.1news.co.nz/2021/10/01/live-stream-6pm-weekends/
Just seen Maki Sherman doing a piece to camera about JAG and the Greens. The woman’s nearly hysterical!
Check out Nicks Kōrero, the one about the florist. Gives you some insight into the “business owner “
Now this makes a lot of sense. ”In the book, Blakeley asserts that rather than failing, capitalism is working exactly as intended - allowing corporate and political elites to advance their own interests at the expense of the rest of us.” https://www.rnz.co...
Lol wat? Curious to see if the greens can white wash in the usual transparent way. Another bullying type allegation has come upas well.
One of the truly great cartoons. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/picture/2024/apr/29/a-cup-of-tea-and-a-biscuit-for-the-end-of-the-world?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
One of my takeaways is that the CoC talent pool is frightenly shallow. The other is that Seymour and Peter’s will look weak if they don’t handle their ministers similarly.

https://youtu.be/MTCqXlDjx18?feature=shared Our current policy so reminds me of this.
In reply to Ianmac at 3. Check the number of cats in your neighbourhood. As much as I love them, they are killing machines. Especially for small birds. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2024/04/calls-for-national-cat-act-after-entire-population-of...
An interesting idea. https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/4/16/it-is-time-for-a-democratic-world-order Can’t see it happening. The USA is still a powerful player. Definitely not as long as NZ1 run our foreign policy.
Oh to be a “consultant “ in Wellington. Given the precedent with Joyce, you’ll be able to charge $1000’s a day. And have at least 3 years work.
I thought Ike had the freeway network built to assist the movement of troops.
So, sucking up to Putin is good foreign policy?
Apropos of nothing at all. I love Calvin and Hobbes, and Doonesbury. But the best cartoonist at the moment is, without doubt, First Dog on the Moon. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/picture/2024/apr/15/is-everything-really-getting-worse-or-is-it-...
The 8 O’Clock?
I don’t think you can take religion out of it. The combination of Judaism, and Christianity is toxic enough. Add in the Shia v Sunni schism, and whole Jew v Muslim issue, and it will take a Solomon to unravel it.
Trying to unravel this lot would be almost impossible. It starts with the Old Testament, throw in the great Schism, add the Ottoman Empire, the meddling of the British Empire, the USA thinking they are an Empire, and Putin trying to create a mythical state...
An argument could be made that the real aggressor in the Middle East is Iran. Iran became an Islamic Republic in 1979. Subsequently Israel sees Iran as an existential threat to its very existence. This is made more explicit by Iran’s backing of its proxies...
When is the National party policy on anything going to be enacted? They have outsourced economic policy to Act, and foreign policy to NZ1. Are they just the driver, while the hoods in the back bark orders?
To take our minds of the Middle East. Some proof that a UBI does work. https://academicminute.org/2014/06/jane-costello-duke-university-sharing-the-wealth/ “The numbers carry a clear message: we can choose to pay less now or pay more later. Our tax dollars...
What I’m learning from this CoC is when Labour/Green/TPM get back in power just go for it. Make sure policy is in place, and ram it through.
I suspect you’re right, Anne. It was beginning to happen under the unitary plan. Now kicked to the curb by the CoC.
This could work so well in Auckland. But the pearl clutching in some of our wealthier suburbs will kill it. Our local politicians don’t have the courage to force it through. https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2024/apr/06/why-has-15-minute-city-taken-off-...
Victory for Labour (VFL) Half goes to the party, half to your electorate.
Interesting. Quite the opposite to what our CoC believes. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/apr/04/the-doomsters-were-wrong-about-the-minimum-wage-theyre-wrong-about-labours-new-deal-for-workers-too?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other ”Confounding the ...
