It's correct, ACT are anti-free market when it comes to Epsom houses.

Not responding to you specifically but I've found a lot of people take the stance of "Well we're just a small nation, what can we do to solve a global problem" and I don't think they're wrong, so I find it helpful to instead appeal to New Zealand's standing in the global community. We have targets that we agreed to under the Paris Accords. What matters is our ability to follow through on our commitments, because that's what drives tourism and economic co-operation with larger nations.

I hear that Rod Carr has some strong words for people who say that sort of thing.

echinopsis posted:what was the argument for changing the way we taught words to kids (that national wants to change back) I heard a presentation from a principal whose school was trying to switch back to the phonics system last year, he described it as being partially driven by since-outdated research and the fads of the time, but a big part of it was the then-new 'contextual reading' was significantly easier to teach. It is very difficult/expensive to switch back (according to him), as all the textbooks and leaning books need to be replaced.

We are moving TO phonics to teach kids to read, and stopping using reading recovery for kids who are having trouble learning. Edit: ignore me, I misunderstood klen dool fucked around with this message at 05:44 on Sep 10, 2023 |

"Structured literacy" is a specific phonics approach. Each reading lesson starts with like 10 mins of explicit phonics teaching before kids even open a book. It's pretty decent particularly with kids who are not well served by whole book reading, but it would also hold a lot of kids back if they are well suited to learn reading with the whole book method. loving stupid and actively harmful to mandate it for everyone, but the other poo poo around making sure there are trained teachers in each school etc is a good idea, it's really hard to shift teaching practice.

Charles 2 of Spain posted:Can I build a bunch of ten storey apartments in Epsom No per their other policy anything above like 2 or 3 storeys needs to be approved by 75% of the owners around. So it's exclusively going to be single storey dwellings on premium farmland in like Pokeno, that will need to be rebuilt in 15 years because the builders were allowed to opt out of any quality control.

National and act really are the parties of nit pickers though gently caress me, campaigning on hyper specific changes to things - charging $5 per prescription, how specifically children will learn reading, how much time children will spend writing and maths and reading. It's rediculous.

On the plus side, Seymour seems committed to making a borderline unworkable governmentquote:We want to see a change in government, we want to see Chris Luxon in the National Party in government with us – but when it comes to supply, actually there’s a lot of people voting ACT who want something a little different… They want to see an end to government waste,” Seymour tells Newsable.
