Backpack Full of Cash

I've got a DPP learner who's a principal in top of the north, like South Island, and she was doing her DPP on implementing... core competencies which is that kind of wider thinking and it's basically being said nope you're not doing that

yeah that's crazy isn't it but that is this um this uh American conservative education reformist um stuff that's coming through and there's a really good uh movie that I watched called a backpack full of cash it was a documentary A Backpack Full of Cash, which is about the American education reformist movement and that movement towards charter schools and a conservative curriculum.

and basically one where anything that's indigenous is written out.

And you can see it already just in the fact that they're changing the way they teach the history of Māori, but they're bringing in things like the Holocaust, which I've no issue with our kids learning about that.
