Hard News: Friday Music! It's us, as culture, in reply to Ian Dalziel,

All this is part of piece, isn’t it? The abysmal failure of the New Zealand educational system to adopt progressive ways of recognising, teaching and funding students with needs different to the great mass.
My hearts bleeds for those parents and caregivers of children with severe needs.
My two sons are about to finish Year 13, having much lesser learning difficulties but which have impeded their lives, and it is only in the last three years after massive separate battles for both that any help has been forthcoming.
Some teachers have been helpful, but powerless to make a difference. Othere have been actively obstructive because they did not believe that dyspraxia, dyscalculia or Auditory Processing Disorder existed or were posing enough difficulties for my kids “compared with others who need a lot of help”.
Yeah I’m angry. Still. And once my life’s other great catfight is over – insurance for a house wrecked by the Christchurch earthquakes – I’m going back to trying to ensure other children do not go through what mine have.

Good friend and former Christchurch Mayor Garry Moore battles on with Southern Response, the government’s AMI bail-out vehicle. SR appears to be an extended form of hell, according to so many people on the help pages.

Dear Ian,
I know we've had our differences, but like your guys said last month, we're on a fresh start. Letting bygones be bygones; no hard feelings. We really appreciate it.If you could sign our cheque before the leaving party, that would be great.
Best regards,

Christchurch mental health services, as has well-documented in the The Press, are also in crisis: overwhelmed and under-resourced.
