843012 2009-12-27 08:12:00 The kindy thing doesn't worry me, its the parent time that does, it is a parents job to make their kid know whats right or wrong and make sure that kid can wipe his/her own ass.
I was gutted when my baby girl had to go to crèche only because my work is all over the show hours wise otherwise I would have been a stay at home dad.

843013 2009-12-27 08:21:00 You’re on the button there Billy and it will come as no comfort to know that it isn’t just NZ.

My daughter works at a primary school in Brisbane and tells stories just as you’ve described. The Australians seem to have attacked the problem differently as at this school they have a Class Teacher and however many teacher aids as is required in that class. In my daughters case she has just four kids within the class to look after. So the teacher works through the curriculum and the assistants look after those allocated to them. Of course the majority of kids in the class don’t have a “minder” allocated, they just carry on as normal.

My daughter tells me it quite rewarding if you can get a kid to behave normally but as frustrating as can be when you meet the parents who in most cases are a drug infested waste of space.

However, the remuneration isn’t too bad at $28 an hour. I guess the Aussies have accepted that these kids are going to cost the State dollars sooner or later so it’s better to spend the dollars early and try to avoid housing and feeding them for lengthy periods as a guest of the State later.

I still say that every kid is born honest and in 99% of the time behavioural problems can be tracked back to the parents. :rolleyes:

843014 2009-12-27 09:09:00 Don't seem to get much comment on here about white collar crims.
Like those bankers who tried to rip off the IRD and therefore us taxpayers.
Or the financial company crooks who have ripped off a lot of small investors.
The asset strippers who close factories and companies making thousands unemployed.
What is their ethnicity? Not many brown faces among that load of shysters.

Yes in your world the person throwing the punches always has a justification as long as they think they are in the right.

Better to be out of step than follow your view of the world, we can't all be sheep after all.

Just watched the film Five Minutes Of Heaven which was excellent. I highly recommend it to you, you might learn something from it.

So you think we condone these white criminals? Or Asian criminals? Race is no aspect to crime....scumbags are raceless; they are only one kind: scum. I have absolutely no interest in the race of a fraudster, murderer, rapist etc. I do however have an interest in the method of execution. Preferably longer and more torturous for more callous crimes.

Well you're an equal opportunity hang man. And a quick death at least for those that steal a newspaper.
