And one of the biggest problems we face is that who needs memorization when we have Google and Wikipedia ... Why go to courses ? All you need to know is on the net ... once upon a time they taught us all the times tables by rote .. then they invented hand calculators .. now we can surf the net from cellphones ...

That's true - adults do go back to do NCEA .... but there are other and better options once you're passed 20 ... why waste time going back to school when you can move into the tertiary sector ....

When we employ people for our team at work, we do ask for tertiary qualifications, simply to prove that the candidate is capable of learning. I have the usually pleasant task of writing the assessment exam when their on job training is finished. In that I don't try and assess that the candidate can remember every little detail in every folder and manual, but rather that they know where to go to find the information required. For that reason I set open book exams, with a minimum of an 80% pass mark.

The instructions are simple...
Ever stood at a checkout when the power goes off? And that's just for simple arithmetic and you have cash...
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

No - it's still at 20 ... but don't forget the polytechnic sector exists as well ..

I've already done a uni course. I needed to do level 2 NCEA biology and physics for a career I intend on doing, but since I never did that stuff when I was young, I went back to school to do it last year.

I don't want to get into a debate about it because it's bound to turn nasty very quickly.

That was the idea. Don't go fishing to not catch something.

Well, then. That's you fucked as well when 'modern technology' fails.

I'm not trolling in this case.

About time - those fuckers have been dead for years.
How a stuffed dog was beating trained monkeys warps the mind really.
