    Allan Alach – What Happens When Neoliberalism’s Only Got Fear Left to Sell? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    As the election campaign gathers speed it has become very obvious that the parties on the right don’t have any new ideas, instead just serving up rehashed versions of previous campaigns, and instead trying to point the finger of blame at Labour. The National Party certainly has no new ideas, hasn’t had any for many decades, and so are reduced to the tried and true polices from the past, such as ‘tax cuts’, ‘lock up the criminals’, and ‘bash the beneficiaries’. They have no vision for a better Ne

    Allan Alach – Education Should be Bigger Than Politics (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Over the past three years there has been a torrent of articles criticising all the flaws in the government’s (i.e., Erica Stanford’s) education agenda. Many of these have come from the very knowledgeable educators in the Aotearoa Educators Collective. Those of you who read my posts will know that many of them have been based on articles posted on their substack. The shallowness of Stanford’s agenda means that it has been easy for anyone with a skerrick of educational knowledge to shoot it down.

    Allan Alach – I Smell the Stench of the Taxpayers Union (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Just when we thought Nicky Hager had driven a wooden stake through the heart of the Taxpayers Union, here they are again with yet another of their supposedly independent lobby groups. This one targets education, using the title ‘The Parent’s Alliance’. How do I know this is a Taxpayers Union project? Easy – let’s look at who is listed as being behind this. And here’s the name that indisputably proves this is a Taxpayers Union project: Teachers have unions. Principals have associations. Ministers

    Allan Alach – Yet Another Reason Why Stanford Must Go! (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    She’s been a disaster as Minister of Education. Other than her ability to blow her own trumpet, telling everyone how good she is and how knowledgeable she is about the so-called knowledge based curriculum, more and more information is coming out about the way she has run the Ministry of Education. As I’ve previously written, the buck stops at the top and she must accept responsibility. This article has been published on The Post. Unfortunately it is behind a paywall but I will quote enough from

    Allan Alach – More Reasons Why Stanford Must Go! (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There’s an old joke which goes something like this – how do you know if a politician is lying? Answer – their lips are moving. That would appear to apply to many ministers of the current government, Simeon Brown being a prime example. It certainly appears to apply to Erica Stanford who doesn’t seem to have much of a relationship with the truth. You will have seen the news item about a Ministry of Education staff member advising members of a working committee on the new curriculum to avoid writin
