Kia ora Greg, I think one of your key words is 'marginalised'. In our diverse, multi-cultural society with the appalling youth suicide estatistics that we have we need to be building inclusion, mental health well being and not increasing student mar…

Kia ora Greg
Your cartoon sums it up brilliantly!
Anne Tolley knows just what to wear
Smart clothes and a jewel in each ear
The words that are said
Don't go into her head
She's not hearing what we hear that is clear!!!
cheers :)

Hi Greg
i continue to be very impressed by your thoughts , passion and articulation over the issue of National Standards . I totally agree that we need to be organised over this issue and provide a sensible and constructive alternative to what the…
I wrote to Alfie Kohn, I thought I would share his response, his wisdom and his direction for us to use his articles and books to build a response...
Note - my feelings have changed somewhat about feeling alone, however, some teachers and principal…
Hi Louise
Totally agree about your comments re the percentages NCEA . My personal view is that NS is not the best way to solve this problem . In fact the philsophy behind National Standard's cuts directly across directions for learning , the view o…
Like the others who have commented I love your visual Greg! Hayley's right there's nothing new in what Minister Tolley is saying. It was s definitely a packaged presentation which says nothing that we don't already know. I heard on the radio today,…

So can this "Bill English and the concept of productivity . Tell me that doesn't mean performance pay" be put into action for Support Staff as well?? I would hate to think that this is the way we are going. Support Staff have enough of a fight on ou…
Kia ora koutou katoa, I was actually a little bemused when I listened to Anne Tolley. She made it clear that reporting on the Natitonal Standards would start in 2010 and that tihey had a mandate to implement this from 3000 parents who had participat…
Hi Greg , I love your visual " articulation " The address from Anne Tolley ( I wasn't at Annual meeting but I read the address on the website ) didnt surprise me because Tolley is just a mouth peice . The reality is that the Nats will probably not r…
Having seen Tolley on the Q&A tv programme telling Holmes that her credentials for being the Minister of Education were that she had 3 children and 2 grandchildren made me think deeply about another position. Since I know how to do Internet banking…
