That's easy. https://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/curran-alleges-dirty-politics ...from the mouth of babes. Seriously though, you don't honestly believe Labour are immune from DP do you?
When someone writes something we disagree with, the best course of action is to refute the author with reason. Some of the reaction to this latest piece by Jones (like a meaningless petition to remove his knighthood) is just giving the writing more oxygen.
I'm going to end my part in this because I feel I've made my point. But I will leave the discussion with two references. https://thespinoff.co.nz/society/18-05-2017/charter-schools-the-case-for/ https://thespinoff.co.nz/society/18-05-2017/charter-schools-...
"I’m surprised by the level of author abuse you’re getting away with here, Hornet/Ad Nauseam." Good attempt to shut down debate, but I'm targeting the argument, not the contributor. And you crying about author abuse has got to be the irony of the week.
"“I have caught you out lying about education spending” In your dreams." No, on this thread. "It is obvious in every Primary and Secondary school in the country, that they have less funding per pupil." 'It is obvious'. Are you serious? Why should I believe...
"Thinking of the children, would not have resulted in spending much needed money " Their education costs the same at a PS, and delivers better results. You know that.
"They have to be accountable..." They are. ", not profit making" Most aren't. "have the same funding as State schools" They do. ", and take all children who apply, just like State schools. " Actually state schools don't have to take all children who apply....
"Hornet thinks that Teachers are only ...
"Accountable?" So you're a teacher? Obviously you are one of the ones who fear the choice Partnership Schools provide. I understand your opposition now.
"The community having a say." Yes, indeed. "Nationals commissars’ were sent in to run the, so called, failing schools, very against the wishes of the community." Cite? "Boards have little power and parents /Teachers even less." Cite? "Right wing ...
Sorry for being emotional. I have grave concerns for children who the state system has failed, and yet who some here are happy to see integrated back into that system for no other than ideological reasons. " I feel that you are getting a good deal and see ...
"Pure projection. " No, it's not. We know the past under the state system, for these children - it was failure. We know the present, under the PS model - it is success. The difference is putting children second, behind ideology that sees state school as ...
No, just incompetence within the state system. Most likely by people like you! "School “boards” FFS." Yes, isn't it shocking that the community should have a say in how it's local school runs! Of course this all be left to ivory tower 'educationalists', ...
And so you let down your guard, and your sick ideology spews forth. Privatised/non-state education has existed, and successfully, for centuries. It precedes state involvement. I have caught you out lying about education spending, and you don't like it. ...
Which school taught you to read graphs? Whichever it was, you need to go back and re-learn!
"Gdp now. Not GDP per capita. Make up your mind." I have reposted my original quote. Which was about GDP You then raised GDP per capita. And you got it wrong.
"But are not able to be scutinised by the public...," You mean other than by their public reports, ERO Reviews, etc etc.
"Which State school was that?" https://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/local-papers/hutt-news/69872509/Statutory-manager-appointed-at-Wainuiomata-High-School http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11904812 Stop making excuses for ...
"0.6. Near enough to zero, as I said." Here, I'll post it again for you. https://tradingeconomics.com/new-zealand/gdp-per-capita Educational spending has kept up with both GDP growth and is ahead of increases in other government spending. You got this ...
"...receive government funding similar to state schools but are subject to fewer rules and regulations from the Ministry of Education.[1]" Correct. But they are subject to the same, if not more, scrutiny. "Charter schools have the autonomy to set their own...
And the children who have attended state schools which have failed and been bailed out by our money?
"Bit disingenuous don’t you think? Isn’t it total GDP, you RNJ’s like to quote, when talking about the “rock star” economy?" I'll spell it out, because you are being dishonest. Here's what YOU claimed: "You do know, that per capita GDP increase in New ...
"Accurate piece from my blog, including citations, which I doubt you bothered to read." Your blog piece(s) are ideological handwringing. Nothing more.
"Charter schools have done well..." ...yes, they have. " because they have extra funding, " More lies.
You are a fool. My link was to GDP per capita.
...as said by someone who endlessly repeats bulllshit.
...until they are reopened by a future, more compassionate, government.
"Observation is not evidence?" Anecdotes are not evidence.
"Run out of evidence?" The 'evidence' you posted was a bitter piece from your own blog, and a claim about GDP that I busted! If you were seriously knowledgeable about this subject I would engage with you as I have with others. But lies and spamming are the...
