Peter O'Connor: The case for local schools - 2 views

  • So why would you choose your local school now? Simply because all the evidence suggests that the edge in education parents seek is not gained with fancy technological gadgets, nor in this idea of effective or good teachers.
  • The key is in the quality of the relationship that children have with their classroom teacher. And we simply have in New Zealand amongst the very best teachers in the world and you can pretty much trust that the ones in your local school are as good as the ones in that expensive private school down the road.
  • if more of our kids go to their local school, we have a chance to rebuild a sense of community,
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • And we refuse to be marketed to, to be sold the lie that our community and our school is not as good as that one down the road where the richer kids go to
  • the core role of schools. That role is not literacy and numeracy but about creating a community of happy kids learning about the world and their place in it.

Against YA: Adults should be embarrassed to read children's books. - 4 views

  •  
    This is a very interesting article that appeared last week and has created a lot of comment online. There is quite a backlash against it including an article in the current Listener saying that there is no 'should' in reading for pleasure. I am firmly of the opinion that any reading is GOOD reading and won't apologise for what I read!
