New Zealand's dirty secret is that it's rife with bullying and that the statistics for child suicides is one of the worst in the world. Not quite the "better place for the kids" they keep advertising themselves as, eh?
Schools in New Zealand haven't got a good reputation - mostly due to the fact that bullying is not properly dealt with. Our own experience of four schools in West Auckland definitely bear that out. But then there are jewels shining through, and Konini Primary is one such school with a principal and teachers working hard to make a difference.
