| 655547 | 2008-04-07 04:32:00 | Yeah my folks placed education as a priority . I was schooled in privately . They aren't on high income but a major investment was in schooling . In Asia I think the schools provides lunch, so I spent a few days at school without lunch . . Anyway, since I was like 8yrs old I spent 4 hours each night on homework . Dinner was at 9pm, sleep was at 11pm or 12am and get up at 8am cos parents were working . Later on maybe when I was 10, after school we ate some food, got changed and then caught the bus home, had the bath ourselves, parents would take back dinner at 10pm (mum would catch the bus home earlier than dad just so that we could have dinner a bit earlier) and we would go to bed like 10 . 30pm . I heard those who had restaurants the children would work as receptionist, when a customer came in they would stop their homework and deal with them . Then they would continue with their homework . On a weekday when it was not busy, they might just take up a small table near the reception desk to do their homework . One least occasion, we fell asleep at the floor of the tv room, and we put the latch on the door and mum couldn't get in . . so when we finally woked up a nd let her in . . we were told off and spent the night without dinner . . . . . When I was at uni, I got up like 5am, worked from 5 . 45am with breakfast to about 9 or 10pm . I did that 7 days . The weekend I may of got up at a later time of 9am . Earlier in the semester there was a bit more time, so I went out in the weekeneds to the shops and stuff, but a few weeks into it, the assessment piled in and then the exams came on . . . . One thing that helped me was that to see the lecturers before the class started and ask for course details so I could spend a week earlier doing study so I can use that as a head start, in the first 2 weeks, workload was a bit lesser, I would use that to advance myself too, so in that time, I could of read up 6 weeks of stuff in advance . I could self teach myself and start my assignments earlier and hit the library . Written english was obviously not high on your homework priority list . . . . . . . |

| 655550 | 2008-04-07 07:31:00 | People are people, I couldn't care less if the face of the nation has different shaped features in 50 years. I would expect it. I will also note that the Europeans didn't exactly assimilate into Maori culture on arrival, More likely exploited it and then discriminated against it. Sucks to be a hypocrite aye? That is a tricky one,hard for the civilised party to become uncivilised just to accommodate the locals. I say that with a bit of thought,in so much if we look at say Aborigines,or red Indians,there is always some resistance to going back wards. |

I think you're the one who didn't have English as a priority, you double-negative using old curmudgeon. If it wasn't for the Asians pouring money into this country, NZ would still be stuck in dial up. Either learn to feed yourself without having to make deals like that with China or quit the bitching about foreigners. The fact that there is even a thread about this on a computer site, in 2008 shows the intolerance of Kiwis to anything that is new and THEIR unwillingness to assimilate to the times. |
