Could we do more there in terms of supporting that?
We have gone into a massive big area there, right, about kind of cost of living and different pressures on different families and things like that.
So I won't.
Thanks, Natalie.
I'll make you go there.
But I will make you go here because it's a topic that has been of considerable interest recently and it's around the enrolment process in New Zealand.
and whether there are some inequities for kids starting school just kind of based basically on when they were born and what school they happen to be going to in terms of their enrolment strategy.
Do either of you have any thoughts on whether there's a better system than the current system or, you know, something that works for everyone?
Or is it just this tricky equation where you're never going to have absolute equity because you're always going to have children who are older in a year than younger?
Yeah.
Can I answer this one to start with?
Does it make it tricky for teachers to go, OK...
you came in at that point you need to do your 20 week phonics check at this point but you came in then I need to scaffold you with a bit more and like I don't know how you would keep track of that
So... Yeah, so I guess then...
It's not purely based on entry.
It's your judgment as a teacher and your experience there.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
As an ECE, are you... How much of that kind of getting ready for the literacy instruction do you do for those children who are almost at school age?
Or does it again depend?
