Shocked, shocked I tell you.

I don’t know much about this, but I did notice Stanford seemed unusually sure of herself and dismissive of others when talking about literacy.
Never a good sign.

Here's another one @janecaro.bsky.social If i read it right, the 'back to basics' takeover of the NZ school curriculum documented by Bevan Holloway was triggered by the interventions of the #AtlasNetwork's New Zealand Initiative.

Too many books, too many cooks, too many cookers spoil the soup!

I have heard some horror stories about the way Stanford is ignoring any advice from education experts that doesn't gel with her ideology and making life miserable for anyone who pushes back

ninjakitty.bsky.social•13 days ago

No surprises there.

"You've got to hand it to her, Erica is one of the good Nats."

Me: THERE ARE NO GOOD NATS!

The last good Nat retired at the 2023 election.
Ian McKelvie - he had the grace to congratulate members on the other side for getting their member's bills passed into law, and he once raised a point of order to complain about Judith Collins' behaviour as leader at Question Time.😮

And Niki

ninjakitty.bsky.social•13 days ago

None. Zero. Nada. Zilch.

sjponeill.bsky.social•13 days ago

Yep.

They are either actively doing harm or passively abetting it.

Either way they are inboard with doing harm.

You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to the person who is a shit sandwich simply because the others are all shit sandwiches with piss on top

tonywelly.bsky.social•13 days ago

I'm sure the bad Nats have killed the good Nats and hidden the bodies

Pods in the basement

hamo.bsky.social•13 days ago

Even if there were, she still wouldn't be one of them.

pipinotautahi.bsky.social•13 days ago

You'd only know by their resignation......

peterashford.bsky.social•13 days ago

I think she's fucking awful.

ninjakitty.bsky.social•13 days ago

So do I

mshooper.bsky.social•13 days ago

She appears to have a quick and foul temper- awful person

nzkatya.bsky.social•13 days ago

She is, actually, one of the worst but certain reasonable men could not see it

nug.monster•13 days ago

That's because she's conventionally attractive. If she looked like judith collins those unreasonable men wouldn't be prepared to give her the benefit of the doubt.

ninjakitty.bsky.social•13 days ago

She had the audacity to lecture Jan Tinetti about literacy. Jan has a masters in child literacy 😑

sjponeill.bsky.social•13 days ago

Maybe she should be giving her boss some tips on literacy...?

nzkatya.bsky.social•13 days ago

She is very disparaging about anyone who doesn't agree with her no matter what their expertise
