I applaud the effort to explore this topic but feel the research question was too narrow to provide a useful answer. Which schools - all, primary, intermediate, or secondary? Will each level have a set curriculum? Will 'standards' be set? And - most importantly - who is going to teach it… View moreI applaud the effort to explore this topic but feel the research question was too narrow to provide a useful answer.

I am in favour of making te reo compulsory in primary schools, with a designated basic curriculum, as long as each class has a teacher confident enough with the language to use it in the classroom on a daily basis. In this way, students can become as familiar with and comfortable using and learning te reo as they do developing their English language skills.
Children learn a language much faster when they are young and, with encouragement, they will continue using the language on a daily basis both in and out of school without the fear of making an error - which is a factor that prevents many adults giving it a go. More advanced te reo could build on this base at intermediate and secondary schools - as an option alongside other languages - if qualified teachers are available.
Making te reo a normal, integrated part of their daily lives will result in many of the fears and concerns of our adult population diminishing over time. Then maybe NZ can be as cosmopolitan as most other countries in the world. There are very few where only one language is spoken.

We have a cat turned up on our property, Mostly black with white bib and paws. Middle Road, Rukuhia. Has anyone lost one ?
Kia ora, neighbours. This is a sadly timely story put out by the Waikato Times, on the same day that the Cambridge Edition published a story about the threat of dogs to kiwi in the wild. It's a cold reminder to make sure our dogs are kept on a leash, particularly around conservation areas.

The move comes after much public debate on the appropriateness of firearms being brought into schools, including when soldiers taught children as young as nine how to assemble and shoot assault rifles at a leadership exercise in Palmerston North last year. However students can still use firearms as part of shooting clubs and competitions. Click here to read the full article and guidelines.
So what do you think of the new rules? Are you for or against them?
