I was thinking of the values we try to instil in our tamariki at kura- participation, respect, integrity, determination & empathy. I could say that he shows great determination, but not the rest. Participation maybe? He does participate in parliament but wants to change the rules to suit himself.

David Seymour - promised us all that he would give up politics for love but didn't.

Judith Collins - like Delores Umbridge but more devious and less likeable.

Did you hear the incredulous laughter when he said that though? My guess is that like when they said that teachers earned over $140k and nurses averaged $125k, that figure is completely wrong.

It's the next logical step from making student allowances dependent on parental income, which is also ridiculous. This might be a tolerable policy if there were plenty of jobs and young people were just choosing not to work, but when there aren't the jobs, it is kicking people when they're down.

I'm not sure why Lorde is responsible for what the government of Aotearoa does?

Also the top 2 presidents for shutting down the government are Trump and Bill Clinton - both buddies of Epstein. Does this mean that #Epstein is the true winner in the race to the government shutdown league tables?

The one before that was 3 days & so far this one has been 3 days. Which makes him the president with the most shutdown days in history-the best at grinding the government to a halt! As he said, he's the best at everything and as far as government shutdowns go, I'd have to agree

Oh, and illness etc is justified absence, but that doesn't change that we're aiming for 90%. So when we've had an outbreak of strep throat, Covid and flu, we're still somehow supposed to get 90% of children attending 90% of the time with no provision for leaving off justified absences.

So the teachers , support staff, principals and MOE field staff, the nurses, the doctors, firefighters and...are all just selfish money-grabbing meanies who are determined not to settle for a reasonable offer and just want to upset the public?

Our attendance average each day for the whole year is 89% which you would think was pretty good. But they're only interested in the number of children whose attendance is over 90%. We have 54% in that category which is considered bad-we're supposed to be aiming for 90% of children at 90% attendance.

As someone with responsibility for attendance at my kura, I'm with you. We have medically fragile children whose attendance is below 50% and others who have equally good reasons for absence. We also have a lot of children from overseas who need to go back to visit whānau at times.

We are really spoilt in Papaioea because we have a choice between Tangi Utikere, who is great, and Teanau Tuiono who is also awesome. Labour tends to keep the electorate seat and they're both on their respective lists. I've voted Teanau recently but have split my vote in the past.

Everyone knows when the contracts expire. If the budget doesn't include inflation-matched increases, the government is not good at budgeting. Putting professionals in confrontational situations where they feel undervalued is never helpful. #NZPol
