Awful

National, Act, NZ First.
Awful.

Taking away the obpgation to honour te Tiriti.
Abominable.

The number of teachers I know who would jump for joy.
Shameful.

The number of school boards who'll drop Te Tiriti from their governance pke a hot potato.
Despicable.

The fear it could happen to *any* of the kura at which we teach, even the "good ones".
Terrifying.

The way this government wants to absorb the Teaching Council and thus set utterly perverse parameters for what it means to be a "good teacher".
Mortifying.

The motivation I have to stay in this field.
Dwindling.

Why I do it?
Because if I don't, I'm worried about what kind of other person else would.
