Are class sizes too big these days?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Primary, secondary and kindergarten teachers are striking this week as they look for a pay offer that meets inflation at 7.2% and makes concessions around staffing issues - in particular, student to teacher ratios.

A ratio of 1 teacher for 23 students applies for year 11 students, however … View more
Primary, secondary and kindergarten teachers are striking this week as they look for a pay offer that meets inflation at 7.2% and makes concessions around staffing issues - in particular, student to teacher ratios.

A ratio of 1 teacher for 23 students applies for year 11 students, however support staff can be counted as teachers so the reality is that class sizes can be much higher.
What do you think are the ideal sizes for classrooms?

More than 36 cars have been confirmed for the country’s biggest ever drag meet in Masterton this weekend.


Wildbunch vs Outlaw 71

This is the first of many killer match ups for Marsh Motorsport Mayhem at Masterton. Dean Scott leads off for the Wildbunch team in the stout Chevy S10 Ute. Ross Brown will be driving in the super consistent and fast FED. Having just run 7.00, Rosco will be right there and this race will be a game of inches.

Each match up announced will be the ‘best of three’ across the day, unless one of the lads breaks with a point scored for their team for each win.

Excellent condition.

Comes with case ( not pictured ).

Nice, front stereo speakers.

Two issues:

Tablet says "pen removed" when it is not. Pen still works.
I can't download from the playstore. I have tried to fix this but have given up. Maybe an easy fix for someone with more patience and less easily stressed than I.

It quite possibly could be my internet connection at home.

I can browse the playstore and download from the Galaxy store.

Tonka Beans –the South American beauty.

With Tonka Beans, 'less is more' as the taste/fragrance is so strong you only need a very small amount; just the gratings of approximately 1/8-1/4 of a bean.


They are actually a member of the pea family, Dipteryx Oderata, but the seed is actually more of a bean shape.


The fragrance and taste work in combination together, providing strong vanilla, cherry, cinnamon, caramel and honey. Smokey notes can also come through.


Use the gratings of a Tonka bean much the same as nutmeg into the base for ice cream, pannacotta, custards, crème brulee etc.


They can also be combined with cocoa and chocolate in chocolate cakes and biscuits and of course desserts.


Like vanilla, Tonka Beans can also be used in savoury cooking, such as fish dishes.
