Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

No ski sloping off from New Zealand School

Poster: A snowHead

Cashmere (not a zillion miles from where I used to live) Primary School's principal has warned parents not to take children out of school for skiing. So not just a British problem, then.

What caught my eye, in the body of the article was this claim, though:
Quote:
Truancy rates have grown 41 per cent in New Zealand since 2002, with 30,000 children a day bunking off school last year.

30,000 truancies a day is a mind boggling figure for a country with such a small population. I do doubt the figure.

Something else:

Quote:
A Cashmere mother of four, who did not want to be named, took her children out of school for a week's skiing last year. ..........."If they had been one of 20 or 30 in a class and had long queues on the lifts, they would have got less out of it."


20 or 30 in a class? Can that be true? Makes the worst of the French classes look small. Shocked

Perhaps they mean 30,00 children bunking off for a day or 30,000 days bunked off.
