But Having Said All That...an Untypical Plaudit to a politician I'm not terribly enamoured of: Education Minister Chris Hipkins...for: a Lavish As ("Election Bribe") Splurge on Schools? -No, Something Else Altogether...

Essentially, and *not before time, for now - at long last - moving to greatly ameliorate the longstanding **outlawing of teachers (and aids etcetera) using 'restraint' upon the ***'charges' in their care...

*But in all fairness the selfsame could just as justly be said for the preceding 'anti-nanny State' Government of John Key/Bill English...

**Unless the status quo is non-legislated, and 'simply' schools themselves forbidding due discipline of those in their care...by which I (obviously) mean the usage of non-excessive 'force' in order to coerce said kids away from problematic and into more constructive behaviour...

***A quaint term, I'll readily concede, but I happen to like it, and it does happen to describe or at least 'cover off' the 'duty of care' that all educational institutions - whether of/at a primary, secondary or tertiary level - in fact 'owe'/are obligated (by law) to provide for their 'clientele'...

To Be Continued...
