and National's tinkering won't fix a thing
OPINION: In the month of April my 9-year-old will attend school for a total of six days. Thanks to Easter, Anzac Day, a teacher-only day and school holidays, he will miss out on the joys of the local school.
This may seem disappointing from a pedagogical perspective, but given the quality of education he receives I am not concerned. The teachers, I should say, are great, but they are working in a system and world view that mandates and enforces mediocracy.
