More smoke and mirrors from National

on the subject of the Maths Assessment standards
 

So - really just guesswork then, since they can't really be sure, what with it not having been taught yet...

How difficult can it possibly be, to ask teachers what's needed, what's likely to work best, what their experience has been fgs.   

 Or is their intention to bugger everything up in our education system & do away with any schools bar those which are run for profit, charter schools...?
They're a bit of a nightmare, this govt. & I've yet to meet anyone who has a word of praise for them.

"How difficult can it possibly be, to ask teachers what's needed?"   It's difficult for the coalition government because they see everything through a competitive and political lens and regard teachers and education experts as having a self-interested agenda like themselves.   This government has no concept of sincerity, morality or ethics.
