Mark the Week: The drop in teacher numbers is hardly a surprise

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all.  

 

Meteorological paranoia: 2/10  

Between the MetService and the media, you would have thought Noah and his large ship were going to be needed, and yet... 

 

Teachers: 6/10 

God bless them, but it’s hardly a surprise when you see a drop in numbers, is it? Would you be a teacher? 

 

Easter rules: 3/10  

I'm not sure what’s worse, the shambles they’ve become, or the annual tedious debate about changing them… even though we never change them. 

 

Hegseth: 4/10 

Looks increasingly like a doofus, and I’m not sure he wasn’t a doofus to start with. 

 

Canada: 7/10  

Best election going right now – early voting at records, massive swing in the polls… could be one to remember. 

 

Exports: 8/10 

Good news story of the week. In March, this country hit it out of the park – that’s what we need more of.
