Completely agree. A big shock to find that Maori/Pacific are "failing", as are boys. Just goes to prove that National Standards are POINTLESS because they are just telling us what we already know!
Key experiences liquefaction
David Shearer needs to be more vocal and ruthless when it comes to holding National to account in regards to its crazy education policies. People will become more aware of these important issues if they are placed in the spot light. National are relying on...
A delegates view As a rank and file delegate to last weekends Labour Party Regional Conference, I was pleasantly surprised at the level of enthusiasm and good vibes among the delegates. The Labour Party team from Wellington have done a bloody good job on ...

I bet you guys thinks you're tough, more Rent A Mob, whats next week on the protest list.
Another step down the road towards a police state.
Rodger ,Somalia has a welfare system,it's called piracy and it pays a whole lot more than bennets benefit.
Phil backed down from the start he made giving voice to the large number of New Zealanders who have no time for racism or for the maori separatist movement. Allowing the flying of a flag, that is a symbol of maori separatism, to fly from government ...
Phil could have, and should have, opposed the flag. Backing down now is a weak look I'm afraid and this will do Labour no favours. In the end he buckled to the media machinations of the right (and sadly from the left as well ). He was scared off with all ...
I can't see this going down well with the National constituency. One billion dollars is a vast sum of money, and it is frankly apartheid to give that amount of money away to a group of people just because of their race. Good luck to National trying to ...
I see Hone got himself a white m*****f**** lawyer. I hope no-one here will attempt to defend him again- the man is a total hypocrite.
$500,000 isn't much.Just about anyone from Britain could get in- this is just an excuse to open the immigration floodgates. I know a few people who emigrated from the UK to fill skill shortages. None of them are now doing what they supposedly came here to ...
I'm with Sanctuary here. There is quite a lot of approval out there for Phil Goff's stand. He picked the right public mood on this one. You can dismiss people as rednecks if you wish, but it would do more good to perhaps consider that the general public ...
I remember that after the 2002 election some commentators suggested National might be finished as a political party. National then nearly won the 2005 election. Labour are not going to win the next election. They need new faces and new ideas and it is ...
Now the interesting thing is that having been made redundant from a professional position if I wish to claim my legal entitlement for the modest (but gratefully received) unemployment benefit in the interim, my partners' income from part-time work is taken...
Tax em until they hurt real bad. Tax em I say. TAX EM!!
"You've got to ask why some people turn to substance abuse and others don't. The real driver of crime is poverty." And so why don't we have to ask why some of those in poverty turn to crime and some don't? Although many factors contribute to crime - ...
Some technical issues to address. Chat lagged behind the speakers. Some interesting points came out - need for values, different strategies for learning in this environment, and improvement of teacher technology skills. Issue of lifelong learning and ...
