Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw - a hundred billion bottles (The Police)

Back in the day (1973)...

...er...and now (2019)

It's examination time.

As I did a recent exam invigilation I thought about what had changed since my days of sitting school exams.

  • Pens writing on exam papers? check
  • Times written on a board? tick
  • Rows of desks? you bet
  • Quiet students? check

As I did this mental tick box, I realised that only one thing had changed.

Water.

Every student had a water bottle on their desk from which they took a slurp every so often.

Luxury.

Apart from that though...

The tragedy of the last hundred or so years of education in NZ has been THAT NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

It's crazy. Crazy, I tell you!
