no she has her own agenda where she acts before thinking things through - a bit like Paula Bennett
I don't think Key will even care myself espeically since he is such a twat. He is probably just thinking "you have to break a few eggs...." so there are a few stuff ups to get to what he really wants which is to make money for his millionaire mates feel a ...
Yes that pretty much sums up some of my experiences. In regard to your: "... don’t see activism as a social outlet, or expect “fun”, and I think I understand that the left is diversity by definition, and solidarity in diversity is much harder work than I ...
I know a few people including myself that think - should join the labour party and up the support. But then I think of all the times I have been involved in environmental, political, feminist groups over the last 30 years and think oh god - there will be ...
I have been involved with a few ptes. Many staff leave because the owners are profit driven and don't have the integral values around learning and development. Not a surprise that Joyce would be giving more money to the private sector. Just want to say ...
I totally agree but I would have felt worse if Campbell had done the programmes and the public didn't respond at all. What was interesting was the lack of knowledge about poverty in our own backyards particularly by the kids in the decile 10 / private ...
+ another 1
that is so awesome
I really hate these kind of dumb throwaway comments!!! Sometimes the car park is empty because the teacher is out taking the students to their basketball games because they are also coaches etc Also this is the 21st century with Internet. Many of us now ...
The thing is, we knew that the results would be published and I know the standards are subjective as it is a fine line between saying - is this student "below or at", We also know the media is going to be making some good money publishing all the drama ...
we are being restructured at the moment after a consultant was brought in - they obviously didnt know how we operate and the rationale is really flimsy.
Have you actually ever been round teachers? They are actually often quite a conservative bunch. I am just imagining some of the teachers I am around and think it is hilerious that people think of them as socialist unionists. I WISH!!!! Getting back to the ...
the vocational pathways are profiles to make better contextual sense of where the NCEA credits and quals can lead HOWEVER - what we need are bloody jobs so that young people can follow their pathway. All we have are hammering welfare reforms but not the ...
"....If they could see a clear path to entering the work force for their children" That's what the new vocational pathways will assist with - students will be able to have vocational profiles from the credits they are getting while they are doing NCEA and ...
"Before winning the 2008 election, John Key tramped up and down McGehan Close, a street in a lower socio-economic part of Auckland, talking about providing “the ladder of opportunity”. Insteady this government has provided endless snakes to slip down to ...
Thanks for this. wow that is interesting about Katrina Shanks as I know plenty of blue/green voters in Ohariu who would support the billl but are nat party voters . We wrote to Peter Dunne so knew he was going to vote yes to this reading so we now need to ...
"John stop spending your money on couches!"
All I am saying is that when i returned to voc rehab from around 2003 - 2007, there was definitely a change in culture and I don't know when you were working but the case managers told me that they got performance pay incentives to basically get people off...
Just want to point out that they were also getting bonuses under Labour - which at the time I was very disappointed about since there had been a lot of money spent on putting case managers through post graduate rehabilitation studies during the late 90s ...
Ohariu - 3 adults in our household - all voting labour for electorate and hopefully dunne will be done and dusted. Two still undecided on their party vote - either labour or greens. I like Mana's ideas but will keep with labour for my party vote. And I am ...
my 12 year old daughter reckons that key and goff should swap ties at the end of this debate (like football teams). I think the ties are a bit ott I thought last night's insight into child poverty was very poignant this week.
I got a letter from national telling me to vote national in my party vote. No mention of supporting their local national candidate with my electorate vote. i am in Ohariu so it was pretty blatant
goff is doing well and also keeping composed and focussed. Heaps better so far than last debate. I have been enjoying the worm as well
Robert M - can we keep the criticism of English to him as I find the implication about Mary English etc actually pisses me off as it implies that she is somehow responsible for him being a twat. Very kiwiblog sort of comment that will just make me stop ...
I wish labour would bring in free lunches in schools for low decile schools in addition to the fruit in schools etc. At the moment heaps of teachers including my partner fork out their own money to feed kids as anyone who has tried to learn something on an...
I work with a lot of young people seeking work and many have made comments about being laid off abruptly from low/semi skilled jobs. Sometimes they noticed that a few weeks prior to being fired, they were what I call being "micro managed" ie a focus on the...
where is the information about this change with regard to courses Ron? I have not seen anything about this and am interested to find out more and how they are going to be running straight to work programmes. I know organisations like Chamber of Commerce ...
One of my daughters is at intermediate school and we had a parent - student three way meeting. Our daughter pulled out her portfolio and explained the colourful graphs of her maths and reading pat tests and her goals for the term as a result of these tests...
I also don't get it. Someone on a benefit has no connections, doesn't have mummy and daddy to bail them out, give them the connections to the right job ... oh and pay for them to go to uni while putting their money in a family trust so that it doesn't get ...
there is very little news about the number of reasonably well off people who manage to put enough of their assets into trusts etc so that their children can claim student allowances. There are many people out there who are legally manipulating the system ...
Where abouts will it be held?
