TenderWatch — More pointless Tenders

by Whaleoil on November 26, 2009 · 8 comments

Look at these Ten­ders for MoE. Com­plete and utter feel good, airy-fairy, mumbo-jumbo polit­i­cally cor­rect bullshit.

Hell when i went to school the “smart tools” used by the teach­ers to bet­ter sup­port stu­dent achieve­ment, ie pay­ing atten­tion, were a vari­ety of canes kept in the Deans room on the A Floor. The good teach­ers let you go and select your own cane, the arse­holes chose for them­selves and trust me there is an art in choos­ing canes that are about to wal­lop your arse.

Ten­ders get done by govt agen­cies because peo­ple like you and me demand trans­parency in the pro­cure­ment process. If they didn’t go to ten­der, you’d be com­plain­ing of cor­rup­tion. Sheesh, pub­lic ser­vants just can’t win with you, can they? http://www.oag.govt.nz/2008/procurement-guide/par...

It isn’t about trans­parency Har­poon, it is about relevance.

Har­poon it is not the Ten­der process that is in ques­tion it is the idi­otic things that govt depart­ments have put out to Ten­der, par­tic­u­larly from 1999 to 2008 that Wha­le­oil is on about.

By the way I always thought a well directed piece of chalk was the first means of bring­ing wan­der­ing atten­tion back in the class room.

to bet­ter sup­port” is a split infini­tive and ugly Eng­lish to boot!

I agree with Whale. The sub­stance of the top­ics being placed for ten­der is absurd. The split infini­tive neatly por­trays the stan­dard of Eng­lish abil­ity in the MOE. Ask the staff there about apostrophes!

So you folk agree with Cameron that the Min­istry of Edu­ca­tion:
(a) should NOT seek to improve student’s grades.
(b) has no busi­ness help­ing all schools improve edu­ca­tion tech­nique that work for Maori

Level with me please … what do you think schools are for?
