Parents Against Labels

Hi all

Very interested to read all of your posts and responses to National Standards. I have included the article I have written for newspapers.

T o contribute to the debate on national standards, a parents’ group is being formed to give parents the choice for their children not to participate in standardised tests which have as their purpose categorisation for school reports or for sending to Wellington for storage.

The name of the group is: PAL - Parents Against Labels

The parent who initiated this group is Dellis Hunt: a mother of two school-age children.

E-mail address: delnkev@orcon.net.nz

The group has been formed entirely on the initiative of parents and will remain independent of all teacher organisations and political parties.

This information is provided to you to use in any way you consider appropriate. If you think there is a diplomatic way to communicate the formation of this group to your parents, that would be great.
