Kia ora Tim. Your ideology that education is a private good, or commodity, to be sold to the highest bidder is at odds with many in the education sector that believe education is a common good. As a common good it is the state's role, through our tax payer dollars, to ensure all ākonga have access to education. In this view of education as a common good, ultimately the benefits of education will accrue to society. I encourage you to trace the achievement statistics back further and include data from before the changes implemented in the 1980s that brought in neoliberal ideology in the form of business logic into education. Parents have choice now, including private schools and homeschooling https://parents.education.govt.nz/primary-school/schooling-in-nz/different-types-of-primary-and-intermediate-schools/

I dont know your story Tim. I dont know if you are or aren't. If you are then I presume youre of the ilk of Peters and Reti, McKee and Chour. You have my sympathies.
