Small Schools New Zealand
Here in Upper Hutt, New Zealand, the Labour government planned to 'consolidate' our schools. This at a time when most of the research would seem to indicate that small schools are far better for pupils! These were my writings about this issue.

If you missed seeing the party...

I had heard about the Ministers rowdy reception down in South Island, but I missed the TV footage. All is not lost - the Save Our Schools site have found the footage online and referenced it. Well done!

And so I got to see the Ministers rowdy reception down South. It was the kind of reception I wish we had had the guts to give him here in Upper Hutt! I think that the politeness with which we met him here hid the anger in the community, and thus did us a disservice.

I have now managed to convince several self-acknowledged Labour voters in our area to switch their allegiance. If we can convert our disquiet into votes against Labour we will bring these reviews to a halt!
