I CANNOT believe that this is the uniform female students (at this particular high-school) have to wear ALL-YEAR-ROUND!!! Imagine February in this outfit?!

Jodie is a highly respected professor of teaching mathematics. Jodie understands every aspect of pedagogy & assessment.
Stanford, with a BA in Pols, doesnβt even under how NCEA works.
Listen to Jodie. #nzpol #nzed

Ah, good old Theophrastus, a suitable word for the decodable books of simple texts with phonetically simple words designed to be used by beginning readers. #nzpol #nzed #racism

This government enshittifies everything #nzpol #nzed #supportTeachers
'Ironically, the 2023 curriculum was just what we needed. The 2024 version was almost as good. This 2025 curriculum seems to have been written by an offshore consultant who knows little about the context of Aotearoa New Zealand.'
Ah, the lobby strikes back in education!
If only the government would listen to some sort of teacher lobby about education needs - someone should get onto the Ministry about thatβ¦

It's also disruptive - or impossible- for a family to change schools, as I pointed out to Seymour in person in 2014.
Seymour values a system encouraging changing from a bad school over having all schools the best they can be.
As pointed out then and now, he's not a parent.

Why are teachers striking?
Because you couldn't fit a piece of paper between
'deliberately destroying public education'
and
'government policies and actions'
They're the same thing - on purpose.
Anyone who is mad about strikes doesn't care about public education.

PSA: That's a 7x difference.
Unless anyone can point to another factor that causes a 7x difference, then the ONLY good-faith place to start improving education is reducing socioeconomic barriers.

Buried the #poverty lede #nzpol #nzed
'Socioeconomic barriers had a big impact - 28 percent of leavers from schools facing the most barriers had no NCEA certificate compared with 4 percent of leavers from schools facing the fewest barriers.'
Well, if you can't trust 'the ministry's acting curriculum centre hautu (leader) Pauline Cleaver' then who can you trust? π #nzpol #nzed
'Teachers are concerned about the roll-out of curriculum and NCEA changes amid drastic staff cuts at the Ministry of Education.'

People who attended Professor Barbara Oakley's Auckland talks in April 2025 may be able to say more. Slides and videos are available on the link.

PSA: Holiday schoolbag check for foody bits or dirty clothes! #nzed
YES! And that's what Labourβs new curriculum was trying to add and this government is trying to tear out.

Luxon and Winston, still like Trump?
#nzed
Notice we're kept arguing about curriculum, class sizes, streaming etc so we won't demand the government fix inequity + 2tier public/private ed?
The new curriculum won't help.
Referring to it reducing cognitive load (and therefore isn't the enemy) is patronising to everyone involved.

Well, well, well...

This is the only independent school audit we need, and putting the kids through the NCEA wringer won't fix a thing.
'Keep testing until marks improve' is cruel and insane like this government. #nzpol #nzed

AND above $$ and responsibility, shared fresh meals are wonderful for all kids compared to whatever has been sitting in a schoolbag since morning!
