This is why ci5ic...


"And finally, the assessment system for English may not be indicative of general skills such as reading comprehension, grammar and spelling.

This is one of the reasons that the NCEA was proposed - and why
Replicant can have graduates working for him with what he considers poor skills in grammar, spelling and logic."

Our education system seems to value creativity and imagination in English over some basic skills that seem fundamental to the skills required in the workforce. Someone close to me suggested that our education system has been hijacked by a bunch of liberal, politically correct socialists who reject the restrictive constraints of skills and achievement. I'm beginning to think she was right (at least on this issue).

Am I missing some sarcasm or did you just spell "choose" wrong?

The fact that Kapa Haka is considered to be of equal status to English and Mathematics in terms of NCEA credits should give some indication of
the values placed on a good education in New Zealand.

(If you have to ask what Kapa Haka is, that proves my point)

And sadly explains why we have a growing problem of adult illiteracy (and innumeracy) in New Zealand - despite the fact we have authors/educator who have lead the world in teaching the young to read.

Its a good thing I can stop the hiring of anyone in our division here. I see anyone using that kind of writing will not be working here. No $$ for you guys.
