At school I was treated as and told I was useless by many teachers. Most made no attempt to find out or remedy why I was not meeting the same standards as others. The answer was very simple and nothing to do with ADHD or anything like that. The remedy was in the teacher’s hands but they were not interested in finding it except ONE. After leaving school I became an assistant company secretary in a large public company. I was a social work manager specialising in child abuse and psychiatry. I ran my own law business and in New Zealand set up and successfully ran and sold my own retail business. A financial success of my own making in spite of !!! I am not blowing mY own trumpet. I am saying to teachers and parents look at how children are learning .
Adjust your approach to meet the analysis. It is not complicated it just takes a bit of extra effort and interest.

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!
