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.
To be fair though Olive, it must be extremely difficult for them to see past those massive dollar signs in their eyes...

My step son's partner completed her nurse qual's and went into a a kind of lottery system for placement back into the public health arena where she had been posted during her training. She ended up working for a workplace drug testing company, then a Maori health organisation and is now working in the drug rehabilitation sector for a well known social support agency. Why aren't these new trainees not being absorbed by the public sector? Bad organisation and administration, but the immigrant nurses seem to be finding their way in. Go figure.
It just seems to be one hell of a mess, & no one appears at all keen to get to grips with fixing it.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
