National Standards makes an interesting theory, in practise it is more of a National sub-standard, much like NCEA with much of the emphasis appearing to be on ensuring nobody fails. (Alas, if nobody can fail, then nobody can win either.) The majority of the certificates are about as meaningful as old lotto tickets even though they cost a lot more money to produce.
To speed up "progress" toward what appears to be the current aim, all children should be given a test involving a short walk and a log when they reach three years. On walking 1 metre alongside the log (Can't make it too hard) or remaining still for two seconds, the candidates should be given the vote, an iPad, a Gold Medal and a knighthood. Those who collide with the log, haven't managed to stay awake for two seconds, or get lost on the way to the examination, should be given a seat in Parliament. |
