I am using Chrome and it all looks awful. Is it my screen? I must try it on the macbook.

Today's "Business Liftout" also contains the weather, sideswipe, entertainment etc. So it's actually only half business. I find that a bit silly.

And I don't like the website's font.

Hard News: Reviews: #NZGT and the Herald, in reply to Jeremy Andrew,
Yeah my android app looks just as boring as before.

Hard News: We ... WHAT!?, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
Many years ago I worked at a Georgie Pie franchise. One day a man came to the counter asking for "a cup for his coop". Many repetitions later I realised he wanted a "cap for his cup". When English is not English.

Hard News: Good Intentions, in reply to Sacha,
Fair enough! What I was getting at the the lumping together of children at I suppose you might say either end of the bell curve. But no need to get into that.

Hard News: Good Intentions, in reply to Sacha,
I see what you're saying. And I agree that there is a problem with that paradigm. Our primary school has a "special needs coordinator" and they define "special needs" as those with learning difficulties and those who are "gifted". That person's job is to coordinate additional support for both types. What are your thoughts on that?

I'm feeling pretty smug that I voted for Julie Genter as electorate MP right about now.

Sacha, do you mean don't they all need support? If you do then they answer may be "no". My daughter sailed through 1 1/2 years of kindy with no issues at all. No exaggeration. (New entrance has been a bit trickier).
Look, I don't know anything about disability matters so please let me know if I offend but my suggestion is that supporting children who don't "sail through" may be seen as complex because there are indeed children who do and they are treated as the norm? (in no way am I making a comment about how our particular kindy is run, by the way)
