After reading Flip Grater's opinion piece, Playing germ roulette with our kids’ health, we felt a collective sense of relief - another parent shares our niggling worries.
We wanted to check in with our online neighbours: do you feel the same way? We are all busy, and keeping children home from school is sometimes impossible given other responsibilities. Busy lives and the apparent loss of collective energy around monitoring cold symptoms have led to more students and staff in shared spaces with sniffles and coughs.
But what do you think? Is this a concern?
We want to know: Are there clear Guidelines on when to keep kids off of school?
Should we be having a nuanced conversation about risk management, and how to better support working families?

The pukupuku is the smallest and one of the most vulnerable kiwi species. Only around 2000 birds remain on offshore islands and predator-free sanctuaries, and are the descendants of just 5 birds which had been translocated to Kapiti Island from South Westland in 1912.
The March discovery in the remote Adams Wilderness Area, on the West Coast, is definitely choice news.
Ka pai to the amazing investigation team: DOC biodiversity ranger Iain Graham and his conservation dog, Brew!
We hope this news brings a smile!
Two identical round mirrors, straight out of the box, never used, as good as the day they were bought. The diameter or length across from one side to the other is 80cm.
$50 each, or both for $80.
Four lovely lamp shades, in good condition but they do need a good clean. One has a crack on the bottom, as shown in the picture.
Give me whatever you think they’re worth.
If anyone needs an old, but still working well, radio cassette deck, this unit is from 1986, bought in Australia, and little used in recent times. The radio and tape deck both still work fine, the speakers are detachable, and there is even a jack so you can input music from another device.

Has been sitting in the garage for a while, but still functions perfectly well, and does a good job sucking up leaves. The front is on a wheel to help support the weight, which makes it lighter and easy to use.
Needs a good clean, but will come up well. On rollers. Must collect and take away. Free!!
Has been in a wet garage and is not in very good condition at all, so either a do-up job or maybe good for spare parts. If no one wants it, I’ll break it into pieces and dump it, but hopefully someone can take better care of it than I, and restore it to its playing days.

In this article, Amelia Wade reports on what it’s like to seek employment when you’re 50+. Many factors - from financial to social pressures - are keeping people in the workforce longer. The reality is that times are tough, even for our most experienced workers: of those receiving Jobseeker benefit, a third are 50-64 years old.
We want to know: Have you felt overlooked in the job market?
Do you have advice for your community on how to stand out in an increasingly crowded job seeker market?
