Eeh, NZ commercial media fucks one more young girl.

Seriously, super-naive having a kid on ZB.

It’s a common tactic used to deflect from the climate crisis, instead of focusing on the actions that we need to take in a rational, reflective manner. They seem particularly keen to go after our youth, whose future is most at stake.

I don't disagree with you but holy fuck, the girl set herself up to fail pretty hard.

Do as I say, not as I do is not how you get the masses on your side.

Whoever thought it was a good idea to be on ZB set her up to fail.

The people with the most coherent values are those we'll never hear from.

I guess we're waiting for a hero? Some magical person who both has perfectly coherent values AND be someone who has access to broadcast platforms.

Until then..., well, whatev's eh? Our children aren't THAT important, are they? Little shits, should be grateful they're not in the mines or brothels!

And what if she used a company who has goals to be carbon neutral by 2050, or has some carbon offset options available?

Or does that not count for people that what to try and save the climate. Do they need to go full eco right away.

Someone should have been aware of ZB's target audience and how they cater to them. It's not like HdPA doesn't already have a reputation.

Izzy Cook went on ZB to fundraise 5k for their protest and was wanting to get exposure. Still not sure what you're talking about, more babble as usual it seems.

If it was just babble, you would be ignoring me.

Instead you're here to defend something. Protect us from kiddies with their silly dreams I guess?

The interview was fuckin toxic. No other words for it.
You can go on about target audiences or context or whatever whataboutism you want - it doesn't change anything.

I'm just adding emphasis.

I've never heard anyone defend ZB that wasn't themselves toxic. It's just so obviously so. Both their discussions and advertising.

U.K. in turmoil as government's gamble to solve economic woes fuels crisis, instead

I think the problem is they haven't given enough money to the rich. Surely that's it.

Teachers want 'racist, discriminatory' streaming system to be abolished in schools

I reckon part of it is managing the rowdy kids who fuck around at school. Whether those kids are in the the bottom stream or a mixed stream, they're negativity affecting other students learning.

With the system now the lower streams get stuck with them & these streams (because of a bunch of environmental, historical & socio-economic factors) are more Maori & pacifika heavy and so they are being stigmatized as not as smart when actually they're not getting the same opportunity to learn & progress.

Quote:
The report found that ending streaming improved academic achievement across the board, especially for Māori and Pasifika students who achieved a greater number of merit and excellence grades in NCEA. This in turn led to more students moving into year 11 and year 12 maths than occurred under the streaming system.

The study also showed that students self-belief, confidence and motivation improved, further increasing the likelihood that they would attempt higher NCEA standards.

It's just the juggle. The constant swapping around of who gets what resources, in lieu of adequate funding.

Shit, even when ol' m8 Helious and I were at Primary school together it was trash. We had one psychopath of a teacher who targeted him like crazy. One day she just went fucking ape shit because he couldn't justify his working for some multiplication sum he worked out in his head (we were 8 at the time). The fat cunt couldn't handle that he had a knack for maths and decided to try and crush his ego.

The school system has been poked for fucken ages.

I wonder why this successful Wellington businessman would suddenly resign from so many high-profile board positions (edit) all at once.
