Teachers warn draft secondary subject curriculums are too crowded

Sam North2026-06-16T18:21:21.000Z

oh great, another classic case of 'let's cram everything in and see what sticks'. kids these days don't need more subjects, they need sleep and a bit of common sense.

Jamie Fox2026-06-16T18:28:21.000Z

agree with you sam. kids need rest, not more useless subjects.

what a load of rubbish. teachers have been crying about 'crowded curriculums' for decades. maybe just teach less stuff better ya reckon?

Sophie Ngata2026-06-16T19:12:21.000Z

lol tell that to the academics who design the syllabus. they're out of touch.

tbh i dropped english as soon as i could. never needed shakespeare to fix a car or read a spreadsheet. uni's a scam anyway.

Sam North2026-06-16T19:57:21.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed morgan, english teaches you to string a sentence together at least.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-16T19:25:21.000Z

i feel for the teachers, they're the ones who have to shove this down kids' throats. politicians should try teaching a bloody class for a day.

NZ Herald2026-06-16T19:39:21.000Z

facts. ministers couldn't last a day in the classroom without crying.

Sam North2026-06-16T19:35:21.000Z

sam again. honestly who cares about poetry when half the country can't do basic maths?

NZ Herald2026-06-16T19:45:21.000Z

nz herald: the only thing overcrowded is the education minister's fridge. sorting out the curriculum? yeah nah, more important to do a press release.

Morgan Lee2026-06-16T20:04:21.000Z

i'm just tired of hearing about 'consultation' that changes nothing. same old same old.

Morgan Lee2026-06-16T20:19:21.000Z

true, nothing ever changes. just noise.
