FAQs

WHYYYYYYYYYYY????????
Sorry. We don’t want this either. We wish there was another way.

Shouldn’t you just keep striking?
We may still do that too. But honestly, we’ll do anything to make education a top priority in New Zealand.

My eardrums hurt. What do I do?
That sucks. Bunnings sell some good earplugs. Otherwise, look above for tons of great ways to make this stop.

Is anyone actually good at recorder?
It’s been documented that the Greek philosopher Epictetus was a fabulous recorder player. But since then I don’t think anyone has mastered it.

What do teachers want again?
Fair pay. A teacher aide in every classroom. Uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi in education. And a foot rub from David Seymoure. But will settle for the first 3.

How do I dispose of a recorder in an eco-friendly manner?
Don’t. If you can’t stand it anymore, just send it to our head office and we’ll give it to the most annoying looking kid we can find.

Can Erica Stanford play recorder?
Probably. She is actually an excellent bassoon player. Check it out.

WHYYYYYYYYY????
Again, so sorry. Hopefully this is the last time we have to do something like this.

UNFORTUNATELY,
THIS IS THE SOUND
OF PROGRESS
