There are some commonly held false assumptions out there including that private schools have better quality teaching. Just as people assume that private hospitals provide higher quality surgery and care.
Once again, I can personally attest to that. I was sent to an exclusive Decile 10 private school in ChCh in the mid-1990s, and what I experienced was partly something right out of Paul Graham's masterpiece, "Why Nerds Are Unpopular". I commonly found myself at the mercy of cashed-up-bogans and hyper-parochial farmers' sons.
To cut a long story short, it was proof that money doesn't always buy intellect.

"Now who can we get to run the Families Commission."
Crony No.1 "Well we do have a woman who has had a kid/kids (not sure) she must know all about families and, ya know, having a women as its head is so today. Woman ...um... families it show how up to date we are. But we cant let the Moari's head the Waitangi Tribunal tho. So this is like the second best thing. And she will be really wanting to prove herself so we can wind her up first off.
Let me guess... Christine Rankin?

Here's my idea for a movie I'd like to see made:
Working title: Arms Race
Synopsis: A cross between Sleeping Dogs, Crash, Death Wish, La Haine, A Better Tomorrow, and Reservoir Dogs, set mostly in present-day South Auckland. -
You fool! Hasn't Muriel Newman already told us it was the Chinese who got here first?

I wonder how the Parlamento Nuova Zelanda would deal with a French nuclear blast? Or would it more likely be a British coal explosion?
