Three term year v four term - What do you think?
Hi Neighbours,
Did you know it's 25 years since a group of North Waikato schools trialed a four-term year?
A few years later, schools nationwide ditched the three-term year in favour of this.
So, parents - does having a 10-week term and two weeks of school holidays work for you and your family? Would you support any further changes to the school year? Do children get too many holidays?
Education reporter Aaron Leaman is keen to speak to you.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?
The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.
One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
