Seymour pointed to New Zealand's attendance rates having fallen from 69.5 percent in term 2015, to 39.9 percent in term two 2022.

That's actually quite a shocking statistic, there must be a large number of kids simply never attending school at all to have an average that low.

Oh geez, I didn't realize how deranged this plan was. No wonder that principal from HoraHora school (which does fantastic things) was acting so angry.

This makes no sense - he wants to fine the families.

It's really weird how he talks about how important the years of education are while simultaneously moving to make kids hungrier and undervaccinated.

I really hope Labour get their shit together before the next election.

Yes we need a robust system.

I was fretting before about this govt just undoing stuff without any policy direction of their own, but now we're beginning to see the policy directions I take that back.
