Good. They need to be brought to account. Too many kids going without, why should they get off scot free. And actually, student loan defaulters should be accountable too. The rest of us have had to pay back massive loans.
I am so over young parents thinking they are entitled and more important than anybody else on earth and their offspring mean everyone else needs to be inconvenienced. Most of us are parents. You are not that special.
My man has a beer belly and is going gray and all of that stuff that goes with aging. I love him so much. He is the kindest sweetest man in the world. That is dead sexy to me.
Why should fathers demand respect if they haven't earned it? We no longer live in a patriarchal society. Thank goodness. He is the one making a fool of himself in the media. the whole family are awful and out to make a buck. I woudn't talk to him either.
It is theft. Wouldnt dream of doing it. It is teaching kids to take stuff from shops they havent paid for. If your kids need instant gratification in the shop you need parenting skills.
This was a really great article to read. Thank you Johnny. You expressed your reaction and reflection on a kid you knew and his inevitable path in life. We all know someone like that. It didn't have to be inevitable is all you were saying. I applaud this sincere and thoughtful piece. The hardliners are already in attack mode. I'm with you for all those lost little kids next door. And the lost dangerous adults they become.
As a teacher of 30 years I say good for her. She is telling these kids how it is and being real. They need to hear it. You people who dont deal with these kids every day have no idea how awful it is to watch kids you care about going down the wrong road. She put it really really well and in language they will understand. She is talking to the kids where they are, not anyone else.
Walked into my classroom after religious instruction time and found the â teacherâ laying hands on a kid to heal them. Stayed in after that. Also, teachers have no say. Most hate it because the classes get out of control and we have to sort it out so we can teach them again.
Was nothing like a hate column!! It simply stated what each person said! And Trump did attack the man! You are reading what you want to read. Some punctuation and spelling skills may assist your negative message in future too.
You are wrong. Thats it. its wrong. You dont know how hard it might be for that child to walk some days. Stop judging, if they passed the criteria they pass it. End of.
That is pure whataboutism. Highlighting the injustice done to children in no way detracts from other outrages. There will always be something worse. That doesn't excuse the current focus one bit.
They are more at rick because they are leading risky lives. Wake up. When they are not in school they are hanging out in unsafe places with unsafe people. She is right and I bet the statistics back her up.
I'm no prude and don't agree with censorship at all, but that said I found the picture simply gross. I can't imagine what message it was supposed to be sending. But if people want to look at that that is their business.
So when did that last happen to you? The outrage is about anyone enjoying vapes. Its about punishing smokers, and the punishers cant bear that they can more safely vape now instead. Suck it up haters. You will always get bad mannered people. Better to be exposed to vaping water vapour than cigarette smoke surely? Stop getting angry about vaping while smoking and alcohol is still legal.
Its not greedy to expect a pay rise after 9 years of almost zero increases and to be in line with the cost of living. teachers are professional people who deserve to be paid properly.
Hes written a lot of books that someone wrote for him. They are probably all crap. But sadly people would buy it. I cant stand listening to him talk let alone read his words.
So what do you suggest? We cant fix China or India. But we can take personal responsibility which is what these lobbying groups are suggesting. Your comment is negative and defeatist. You just cant be bothered. Deal with it? Thats what we are trying to do!!! But you, Lets not even try. Not impressed.
As a member of PPTA and a teacher I say keep them open subject to the same finances and rules as the rest of our schools. Teacher registration, 3 yearly police checks, appraisals, same funding. No problem then.
Report it. Dont confront people and get aggressive. That is never right because you dont have the right to be judge and jury. And for your own safety. We are not caped crusaders. A car park is not worth it.
He may be â innocentâ although it seems an oxymoron to describe Trump as such, but that doesnt mean his team didnt collude and I think they did. The issue here is bigger than Trumps guilt or innocence. The issue is that a foreign power hostile to the country interfered and tried to influence a democratic election to advance their own agenda which is to bring down democracy. We all need to be concerned about that. Trump doesnt get that either because he doesnt care unless it reflects upon him.
Unfortunately, as teachers we dont get to write kids off as not worth the bother. We want all kids to succeed. That is actually our job, not just the nice well behaved kids. Sheesh.
No they are paying the price that is set. That doesn't come with a proviso that they are not entitled to full service. You made this rule up yourself. Everybody should stand up for the disabled or those in need. Not just the kids!! Disgusting attitude.
There should be an IQ test before you can comment on Stuff. Some of these comments are totally ridiculous, trying to argue that scientists are saying Roundup is safe enough to drink. You people destroy your own position by making up rubbish to support it and resorting to lies and exaggerations. If your stance is correct why do you need to do that?
These kids need experiences like this more than most. Denying them is just awful. They have been removed from their families which is traumatising even if there has been abuse. We know all that from the research. How awful. If there are behaviour problems on camp all the camp leaders have to do is ring the agency to uplift. But give them a chance. They are missing out on enough as it is.
There is ALWAYS a risk of pregnancy. A gynaecologist once told me he never says there is zero chance of pregnancy except after a hysterectomy as women are always proving him wrong. So if a naive male engages in sexual intercourse he is still responsible for the outcome. Stop trying to absolve men of any liaibility. We all know the risk.
I dont think NZ has been involved at all. Do you mean we shouldnt have an opinion? That kind of thinking kept us playing sport with a racist country for years.
The only reason there are less sales is because Coke want there to be. I have noticed the supermarkets have far less Zero on their shelf facings. That directive comes from the company. Coke no sugar is too sweet.
Great argument except the really rich dont pay their fair share, so there you go down in flames. It is we middle earners that pay more than our fair share.
UM they are public holidays. Seriously you think because they are based on religious fantasy, that people who are not Christian shouldnt get public holidays with their family? Lets fix it then and call them something else.
Easy answer, dont have sex or make sure you are protected with contraception as well. Stop trying to evade responsibility. You know what causes pregnancy. Men need to take precautions too. That is part of the problem.
Nothing short of striking will get the DHBs to listen. Nobody wants to strike. Its necessary and you have to join in with your mates. They lose 2 days pay you know.
Really? Parents today? Most people in my generation both work and we are the grandparents of millenials!!! You have a distorted view of the recent past.
What a ridiculous statement. The two things are completely unrelated, and driving under the influence is terrible, mum or dad!! Too many kids going without in NZ. What about the kids?
You are advocating performance pay. So what happens to the teachers who have kids whose parents dont send them regularly, who havent got enough food/sleep/love to learn effectively or who have learning difficulties? Seems like a nice easy solution from you but you have no idea of the reality or the differences and barriers teachers face. When there is a level playing field with all kids arriving in class ready to learn with all their needs met, sure. Otherwise it is inherently unfair.
When you have a bit of experience in the real world I will listen to your opinion. You are coming from a personal grievance with her and are not able to see the bigger picture. Principals are administrators mostly and not expected to organise parent teacher interviews. That shows your inexperience right there.
I vape but try to be considerate to others. Its kept me off cigs for 2 years now after a lifetime. So I support vaping as an alternative far less harmful. It hasnt caused me any noticeable ill effects, my smokers cough is gone and I love that there is no smell etc. However the vapes that exude huge clouds are different to the little e-cigarette I use. I think that anti-smokers hate that we still enjoy a puff at all and want to punish. But it seems to me this boy was showing off. If he is using a no nicotine vape why did he have to do it in class? Its not like he has a nicotine addiction. He is stirring.
How ridiculous. Of course it is the cause in an increase in dairy robberies. Sometimes smokes are the only things taken. Tougher penalties never stopped anything.
Wow you went after all Kiwis !! Yep it was a bad call and yep we call out bad sportsmanship when we see it but all of us think we are superior? You must have us mixed up with Aussies LOL.
Anything that Maori do not like is blamed on the â Pakehaâ when their own people are not called out. Not every Maori thinks the same and not every Pakeha for sure. Stop making it about race, its an easy target and achieves nothing.
She is trying to address truancy in her school. She is not presenting an academic paper. It is what she believes and she is addressing the problem to the best of her ability. I applaud her. Kids need to hear it. I teach secondary by the way.
How ridiculous. You would consign the kids and teachers of this school to the rubbish heap. Elitism and snobbery will not help the societal problem. Im all right jack is a horrible attitude.
I have a Masters in Education. I dont get paid one cent for it now. Its not recognised. Teachers already go to University for 4 years. The 2 years probationary period. And look at the pay they come out with. $43,000. :Ludicrous.
