Minor point I know. And I’m turning into David Garrett. But I really want someone who writes consistently about education to use apostrophes correctly. Poor grammar and spelling in an educationalist really makes it hard for me to consume the message.

    Thanks Alwyn. I wouldn’t have commented, but it’s pretty common in your posts. They could really stand a proof read before pressing publish, and sometimes could stand a good edit and a bit of formatting help.
    
    If it’s worth taking the time to write it, it’s worth taking the time to make it easily consumable by your audience.

      I agree. If you are talking about education, you should certainly edit your work!

I’m a high school teacher with kids who are also teachers. Nz education is in absolute crisis. Behaviour, truancy, zero consequences for kids, and disempowered teachers.

On the pt Laws and Alwyn make re “ faith based schools” Performing much better than State secular. There is an explosion of registrations in the UK to faith-based schools, and the establishment of new faith-based schools as the secular system collapses

In America an explosion of home schooling, as the state secular system collapses in the US

  It’s not the “faith based schools” that are performing better its specifically the Christian ones. The average muslim school not so much.

    Phronesis: We have Muslim schools?
    
    I would like to know the curriculum they are teaching…and how much of the school day is spent studying the finer points of the religion of peace…such as the maximum allowable thickness of the stick you beat your wife with when she is “disobedient”…

      Just before before I departed from the shaky isles, on the way to the airport I noticed a school playground with kids dressed like they were at a madrassa deep in Pakistan or Saudi Arabia. That was quite a while ago. Mind you, in Australia there are a significant number of Muslim schools.
