@chrishipkins @grantrobertson1 @jacindaardern this latest offer from the MOE is another insult. When are you going to get serious and show you value primary teachers and principals. Obviously time for me to look for a different career. #hadenough #undervalued

@chrishipkins In May: "Treasury suggested the government scale back funding increases for special needs, and advised that increases to funding rates for EC services and schools were not a priority because there was no evidence they could not cope." Surely this was a joke?!?

@chrishipkins the impression the NZEI negotiating team got from MOE was that the strike never happened!The only thing gained was that they saved money!?! What's going on?!? There is a lot of frustration growing!

@chrishipkins The government crows additional $$ into school resourcing but they haven't changed the criteria which means it's just unspent millions. Don't get me started on the SENCO role which is under resourced and to my knowledge the Ministry has refused to discuss!
