Working Together for the Student: What I Learned from Two Years on a Primary School Board in New Zealand.

Dyer, Samuel Coad

Phi Delta Kappan, v80 n1 p69-71 Sep 1998

A former board member of a New Zealand primary school describes the country's political climate as radical economic libertarian; contract bidding among schools will soon be required. Elementary schools are child-centered and multicultural, operate year-round, involve the board and community, follow a national curriculum, and have overworked, underpaid, yet highly valued teachers.
