Free offer for first responders about better edu-outcomes: swtheron@xtra.co.nz
For many years NZ has worried about their students’ lack of expertise in basic education. For 30-years plus, politicians have talked, promised and failed. Famous Einstein said, "I fear the day when the technology overlaps with our humanity. The world will only have a generation of idiots."
Your littlest and younger, prodigious Einsteins: Are we e-duc-ating humans -basic meaning “leading to a more successful life - or training idiots as animals, with fear and disillusions?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
