"Oh," he mentioned at one point, "and there are no private schools in Finland." www.theatlantic.com This is an old article but our politicians just don't seem to learn (or don't want to learn) from overseas experience. |

| 1334188 | 2013-03-26 11:59:00 | It is not that our fearless leaders are unwilling to learn. Oh no; if the lesson is dumbed right down and shortened to match their 12 second attention span (up 27% on last year) and explained properly with blunt heavy wooden training aids, they will eventually learn. Well, some perhaps. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 1334189 | 2013-03-26 12:04:00 | Oh, and please kindly avoid facts. That is as far out of our leaders' bailiwick as common sense is to a cyclist....... | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 1334190 | 2013-03-26 18:24:00 | Because they can make money from them and by shutting Christchurch schools they leave room and space for charter schools here. Watched the Campbell live thing last night on Salisbury school. So Tolley and Parata want to close it and are doing their best to sabotage it since the school won their case in court and have proved it would be cheaper to keep the school open and move the unit they want to merge with it to Nelson, rather than close the Nelson school and move it to Christchurch. It seems so odd that this government has its head so far up its jacksy and yet still the smell doesn't stick yet |

| 1334191 | 2013-03-26 23:17:00 | Yeah not been a fan of Parata in the slightest. She's buggered up one thing after another and just can't seem to do anything right at the moment :-/ | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1334192 | 2013-03-26 23:21:00 | Yet National/Key are polling as high as ever :badpc: | pablo d (15490) | ||
| 1334193 | 2013-03-26 23:25:00 | WHY are National so obsessed with so many things?? and totally unwilling to compromise/listen to want joe average wants?? dogma Not that Labour were any better/less obsessed when last in power. In fact, why is Parata not relegated to the backbenches/obscurity ?? Is she not just a embarrassment to National & those National MP's who are competent & are now trying to fix up the messes? |
