Hi DI
Thankyou very much for your kind words.
I sent an email to Invercargills National MP MR Eric Roy, To see if he would really read it I started to state.
"Mr Roy I know you wont read this letter as your p.r person will glance at it then throw it…
Hi again Nigel
Long time I hear you thinking! I am now an RTLB and my husband is still a principal.
WE are both working hard in our fields to help as many people as we can understand these blimin standards. Did you happen to see the two principals…
Thankyou Di, I would love to be able to stand before MZ Tolley face to face along with my son, and not only have a verable disscussion but to have her come around the schools and see what our Wonderful teachers and all other support staff have to de…
Dear Nigel
It's exactly parents such as yourself that we need the Ministry or moreover Anne Tolley to see the effects of singling out areas that we teach. Our jobs are difficult enough without the added pressure from parents worried about their kid…

my son is not at a special school, and as I have stated he is getting all the help avalible from our school ie IEP, teachers aid. Tyler has issues with sitting still and concentration, and has every chance to become like all other children his age.…
So far as I understand, Students at Special Schools and any student on an IEP (Individual Education Programme) are not assessed through the National Standards process. Maybe more parents can press for an IEP for their child and anyone with a diagnos…
Kia ora Nigel,
Thank you for sharing your concerns. Your persistence to get the best and interest in Tyler's learning bodes well.
Many parents in similar situations to yours mentioned similar concerns to me while I was in Southland on the first thre…
