Hard working Kiwi Mums and Dads going forward have been invited to slowly shake their heads in disappointment at the shocking low levels of achievement of our dumbarse kids. (And also at the dumbarse woke teachers who've been obviously wasting the kids' precious time on music, painting, Maori jibber jabber and gender fluidity when they should have been doing maths and maths and more maths and how to get ahead and onto the property ladder.)
Christopher K is for Kat Luxon and his willing data stooge Erica Stanford laid it on the line for us all: So, we tested these kids who are off to high school next year to see if their maths was up to scratch and legit, they got an overall score of hopeless dumbarse. It's even worse than we thought, this is a crisis with a capital K.
Because she's a highly biddable stooge, Stanford did not bother to add: Although it's more or less to be expected when the test itself is on stuff from the new curriculum they haven't actually seen yet. So, you know, bit hard to say what we're measuring, apart from the reactionary credulity of Kiwi mums and dads with reckons.
