Guess what improves school attendance rates, delivers better health outcomes, improves equality, and on top of all that saves money?
Yes, free school lunches.
Fiddling with the programme is nothing but intentional punishment of people NACT don't like.
I really hope journalists are paying attention and will ask some very hard questions

Part 2 of why cutting school lunches is purely ideology driven and contradicting evidence and the govt's own targets of better school outcomes

If school is about anything relating to preparing students for adulthood then they did exactly the right thing. We want them to engage, to participate, what are else are they supposed to do, write some begging letters?
This govt has made it so much clear that they don't care, and the students have adapted accordingly.
The cowards are the adults in this story, and the media that isn't asking the hard questions of those in power.

Looks like my dentist just dumped me over being uncomfortable with protecting my health 🤷
BTW NZ Dental Council guidelines explicitly state N95 masks for airborne infection control, which makes the practice non-compliant in my view.

@npub12nm…wh2s NZ dental council's "Infection Prevention and Control Practice Standard" lists N95 masks as prevention for airborne transmission (as opposed to droplet), but apparently Covid is different 🙄

Why am I not surprised?
"Dozens of scouts catch Covid-19 at jamboree"
Totally irresponsible from the organisers: 😡
"He said those who tested positive stayed in their own tents, but were allowed to continue to participate in activities during the day as long as they wore a mask."

Slightest scratching in the throat but instant positive.
I haven't been anywhere in the past 4 days and the only pathway would be via the kids from the school.
