I don't think there are that many piece of shit humans in this world, I can't recall ever seeing one on the NZ lemmy instance including you. I think the only thing I have said is that you could be a bit more inclusive, it's not that bigger deal, most people aren't.
Which is a weird thing to say because I never said anybody should be excluded from anything. It was you that wants to exclude maori words from school books.
For about the fifth time, I do not want to exclude Te Reo from school books, I don't even believe the minister wants to do that.
This is what you said:
This is pretty well the definition of not being inclusive.
You are asking for exclusion. Yon can't aim for the lowest denominator and ALSO to everyone else. This si what people are entry to explain. You are asking not for inclusion, but for privilege to by switched to YOUR CHILD instead of the others.
Yes they should be included, not by removing others.
I'm pretty sure here problem isn't your kid by now though.
Cheers.
The child has to be struggling with reading to ever be issued an early reader to take home for homework.
If you are in reading recovery ( ~5 of my sons class ) you make heavy use of the reading resources and will probably go through all of the early readers, in all of the incremental stages.
Me and my son have read either one or two every night for the last year and a half.
It seems like I'm talking with people who are mostly clueless about reading education here and are all here for the rage bait headline.
This is clearly not true because you are defending and excusing this action. The minister absolutely wants to do it which is why she did it.
You should look up the meaning of that word.
