Ha I've done this too. I burnt one of mum's ones in the past and felt so bad for her...

This is blatant political interference in rge New Zealand Curriculum that shouldn't be tolerated.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
