Have just read in the Education Weekly how Gov. Schwarzenegger, has announced a proposal for school shopping which will allow parents to access information “so we can understand how specific classrooms are performing.”

That thought scared me somewhat; when I think about teaching focus moving away from encouraging students to learn and onto results driven education.  … But then I thought about how this policy would be adopted into
New Zealand. If they follow the property market model then I think we are safe. Just think of it:

Mr Jones’ class is tucked away in a leafy corner ofHoneysuckle
School. The classroom is merry and bright, the children have a sunny outlook all year round. Pay us visit and I think you will agree that this is the class every child dreams of.

Yep, I think Real Estate classes are the way to go, lots of fluff and no substance.
