Their statement, inexplicably, partly in maori, announced the illegal intention to take their classes of children, aged five to ten, to join the Treaty Bill protest.
Grammar abuses.
* “History making” lacking a hyphen.
* “There will be thousands attending therefore, we encourage…”. The comma should be after “attending”, not after “therefore”.
* The next line lacks a comma after “Wellington”.
* “School” is twice spelt “skool”.
Primary school teachers these days, are usually female. I’d offer good odds most of this lot are fat given that obesity frequently accompanies stupidity.
Kiwiblog also published a statement issued to the parents of kids at South Wellington Intermediate school, encouraging them to attend the protest with their children.
This was over the signature of the school principal, a dripping wet to the point of saturation individual called Toby Stokes, who despite his male name, “Toby”, is apparently unsure about his gender. I say that as following his signature he has (he, him, his) in brackets.
Toby is plainly a screaming goose, but possibly a perfect marriage candidate for one of the Naenae primary school fat lady teachers. That said, I suspect there’s no danger of such a matchup producing offspring and thank heavens for that.

I love this post! Unfortunately my laughter was tempered by the realization that much of the content was factual.
Interesting comment, please place under "woke push back".
Sir Robert, you now join an esteemed group who will make a statement ( be it verbal and/or written) - regarding an item/opine/ etc and are prepared to stand by such comments, "come hell or highwater".
I have just watched a video of Matt Gaetz, GOP Congressman, 1st District Florida (soon to be the New Attorney General US DOJ)- being interviewed over comments he made at a rally concerning women, was asked (by US TV MSM) if he would retract or apologize for said comments - his answer - "No".
Sir Robert, we now watch "this space" to see what prevails over your comments.
I take it your grievance is that the system - the Education Council - allows illiterate teachers in our classrooms?
I propose that you write to them. It is a very old problem and unlikely to change.
You are right about the poor spelling and grammar, however, my experience has been that "even" blond "slim" Kiwi teachers often have poor grammar. In other words, linking intelligence or literacy to observable features is not scientific but rather highlights your prejudice, Sir.
Let's never allow ourselves to lose respect for each other, even if we think we are right.
Good article, Bob.
The same school would (I guess) indoctrinate the pupils with lots of Maori Language. This seems to to be the standard curriculum in state schools.
Skool Loop is a school communication application. I do understand how it jars though.
Sheer brilliance Bob. The nutters you mention will take offense to your post, but really they need to realize they have themselves to blame.
