Here in NZ teachers are facing the possibility of having increased class sizes, as well as the introduction of performance pay. I, and the rest of the teaching community, am outraged. I truly believe that these politicians have no idea what it takes to be a teacher. So I wrote him an email, inviting him into my class for a day. I probably won't get a response, but it would be awesome if I did! Could you all imagine if the Prime Minister turned up at school for the day?
