I was impressed with Clare Wilson's column ‘The city's backbone'. How can the Government replace the NZ Teacher's Council with their plan for ECUCANZ where members have neither the experience nor qualifications to assess the quality of the people they employ.
Who has the bright idea to have charter schools where teachers are not required to be registered? Heaven help our children. I have never voted Labour but I will certainly look out for any future words of wisdom from Clare Wilson.

I would certainly welcome charter schools where teachers are not required to be registered or govt trained! But ONLY if I have the right to chose what schools my children are allowed to attend, and therefore giving ME the right to chose who is teaching my children. It is not the govts job to chose who teaches our children - it is the PARENTS. Govt sanctioned teachers are trained by the govt to teach things the govt believe they should be taught! and THAT is a recipe for disaster. My children - my choice. Not my children - somebody elses choice.
