A Katrina Shanks online poll running 85% against the introduction of national standards.
And a thought provoking interview (radio nz 9-noon) from the principal and a parent from a school that has decided not defy Anne Tolley and not drop their standards is here.
Update Shanks has taken the post down and removed the archive. To see what was there go here.
Good to see that people see sense
Yippee online self selecting polling!
It appears the poll has gone Trev surprise surprise but don’t dis-pear you can vote for or for the Governments new change to driving age. No option to keep it at 15 what a great way to run a vote!
Katrina Who?
That was a terrible website, considering that the Nats have been better at website creation in the recent past.
Farrar, go earn your money and fix it up.
[...] ten minutes of the Red Alert post on her poll going up Katrina Shanks took it down and even deleted it from her [...]
here’s the cached link which shows she did ask the question…

But I can’t for the life of me work out how to get the results…
As AG said, it’s a horrific website.
I tried to leave a comment asking about the results, but got a message back saying that the “blog is in Emergency Comment Blockage Mode”… I guess she doesn’t care for comments/questions after all.
What’s funnier sally, is it is horribly distorting her driving age poll. I just went tot he cached link page. Voted no to the NS question and was shown the current standings of the drivers age poll.
The unscientific and format of the poll was a bad idea – simply because so many lefties and teachers have obviously gone and voted. Of course my straw poll was conducted with parents of school children – all who were in total support of National Standards.
Very telling isn’t it.

@ M onty LOL
Yes, teachers, how dare they? What would they know about education anyway?
