Daft teachers code

The PPTA has published another full-page ad in today's SST. It demonises bulk funding and like the other full page ads it has had recently constantly reminds the reader of what 'one party' did when it was in government. Yet the PPTA appears silent on the daft teachers code put forward by the other bastion of Labour boneheads, the NZEI (New Zealand Educational Institute).

This code replaces the eight-page hands-off code introduced after the Christchurch Civic Creche case where the deluded and paranoid thought because a gay person dared to work in a creche that he was automatically a paedophile. Severe over-reaction ensued.

The 'new' code is great. Under it teachers can physically touch students (phew!)
but must be careful of squeezing kids' shoulders and hugging or eye contact that might be misconstrued.
I can just see my five year old being intelligent enough to 'misconstrue' eye contact from her teacher. And if she falls over in the playground, she mustn't have her shoulders rubbed or be hugged because that is the first step to abuse aye!

When I was at university, feminists wrote 'articles' on how opening a door for a woman was akin to date rape. I wonder if these feminazis are now working at NZEI?

What utterly absurd drivel all this is.

did you not note the bit that said Draft? it's by no means a done deal.
 
from the article you linked:
"But NZEI president Colin Tarr said it was not yet certain the old code would be replaced. The draft would be debated and probably rewritten before being presented to the union's executive for adoption in November."
