ACT's David Seymour - i like his style.

I agree, some here think or wish for an eutopian world where some system somehow weeds out the poor teachers and rewards the good teachers. The whole notion is flawed, implausible and totally impractical. Typical hard right, who think reward the good, punish the bad and it'll all be right in the middle.

Notwithstanding ACT has about f'all chance of having anything to do with the next government, right or left. So Seymour has to put out controversial un-implementable nonsense just to get some oxygen during an election. Goodbye Seymour, neither the right nor the left will need or want you this time.

Get real, all teachers are paid bugger all and they're responsible for our children's education! Better just to pay the poor teachers a decent wage and recognise their value and worth to society.

Bogger all ? Not if you live down south where their income is probably well above average, along with police, and nurses.

Bogger all (what kind of word is that anyway Gus?) Baa Baa is on the money. It doesn't matter where you live - they pay is still poor in my opinion. UOTE=fungus pudding;681960]Bogger all ?

Bogger - great word! The benefits of a Collective is you get to negotiate to the lowest common dominator. Which means you can be a piss poor teacher in Eketahuna and get paid just as much as an excellent teacher in Remuera. Aspirational stuff!
