Did not do much for my education as we were lucky to get a seat in a book in the baby boomers college of 2,000. Oh to see it still going on in schools I have worked in is ridiculous and a put down for students individuality, natural for teens to have re:Skinners theory on human development from memory. Also agree with having student reps from all levels as the older students have different priorities after being inculcated in their institution, and are no longer objective, and focused on their escape. The same with prize giving to same students over and over, how unencouraging, and Yes, having adults only focused on exam achievements does not make an education for life. Hope Chris Hipkins reads this Dave as our Education system needs an overhaul to stop so many students falling into negative traps about a system they are forced to participate in by the govt and law.
