Rolling strikes - how are they affecting you?
Morning everyone,
Waikato Times education reporter Aaron Leaman is looking to speak to families about the ongoing teachers' strikes.
Strike days are planned for the next five weeks and we're keen to speak to parents about the impact the strike action is having on their households. For example, are some parents looking to take days off work so they can be home with their children? Have some families called in the grandparents for help?
Email aaron.leaman@stuff.co.nz or call him on 027-480-5020 if you'd like to share your story.
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.
