This is something close to home for me, I have 3 boys, the education system doesn't seem to cater to a lot of boys.

I'd agree to teach programming and maths for the minimum wage if they'd let me, but there's probably some BS requirement like needing a degree or having to pass a police check. The only thing I've done wrong is have the wrong thoughts about the government, that's not even a criminal record. They only want brain-dead degree wielders to teach. If you have any anti-government views and don't have a degree, might as well stay on the benefit. They don't like people who engage in wrong-think, even if it's in their own time. The failed education system is by design, and only a fool would think that Luxon and/or more funding will fix it. The education system is rotten to the core. It needs a complete re-work.
