The Favourite Teachers Awards - nominate the teacher who inspired you or your children
From Dumbledore in Harry Potter, to Mr Holland in Mr Holland's Opus, to Miss Honey in Roald Dahl's famous Matilda, great teachers inspire us all. In New Zealand, Kiwi IT developers are giving teaching a hi-tech upgrade with the creation of robotic maths tutor Amy - but even they admit robots will never replace the real thing. Nominations are now open for the Favourite Teacher Awards – tell us about the teacher who has inspired you or your children.

What do you think of this 11-year-old's chosen cause?
A Whangamatā 11-year-old has placed his award-winning mullet up for auction to raise money for Starship Hospital.
Kahū Hall, who named himself ‘Taco’ when he was three years old, is selling his mullet after growing it for three years. Taco said he was motivated to raise the money after his friend Evie Taylor stayed at Starship Hospital for a heart operation.
