While everyone is giving a huge pile on about “one size fits all” I would like to chime in to mention that “one size” is the EXACT method that was being used under the previous structure. With years of my kids in school I can tell you that this method will fail exactly as the old one failed on my kids. My wife and I spent a lot of time working with our kids to keep them engaged and ensure we were able to teach them in ways that worked for them because their teachers refused to do this as there was “the best method you can use” being utilized.

It included notices from the school telling us NOT to help kids with their maths homework unless we had been to classes at the school to learn how the teachers were instructing them. Neither of my kids understood this method and if we stuck with it they would STILL be behind.

If only politicians learned from this. But they don’t and won’t. Next change of government will result in yet another crappy shift to someone else’s ideologically driven “one size fits all” method and everything will keep failing miserably.

When I was at Primary School I was considered a Slow Learner and so had to spend an entire following year after turning 5 in what was then called Primmer One.
As humans we are all so different and learn at Our Own Pace. There is NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL in the way of how OUR brains collect and hold knowledge or learning.
This year I turn 65 and still consider myself a slow learner. I have noticed over the decades that when a person yells at another and calls them stupid or whatever even in the classroom that the receiver Switches Off mentally and therefore any chance of learning something Just Cannot Happen.
For many the Need/Demand to Keep up with your colleagues/classmates in say Academia puts additional pressure on those considered Slow Learners.
Stanford is Arrogant to Assume that She KNOWS EVERYTHING and HAS AN ANSWER FOR EVERYTHING. She is a Reflection of All that is Wrong with Herself, Her Belief System of ONE SIZE FITS ALL in Brain Function and also what is Wrong With Her Political Leanings.
What I notice about politicians the likes of Stanford is She is Completely OUT OF TOUCH with REALITY. She is one of those MANY ENTITLED FOLK in National, ACT and NZ First who think/believe they Don’t Need to LISTEN to the ACTUAL EXPERTS. In fact her comment in that video shows how HEARTLESS she is by her Arrogant Assumptions.
I have no time for ARROGANT PRICKS like Stanford etc.etc.etc.

In reply to gordon walker. I learned years ago that the quickest way to get new technology sorted was to hand it one of the kids. Problem solved. Schools do not cope with this.

In reply to stevie. Even though I spent my life in education, I agree with you.
