 Unlimited - What's up with our schools?; The Maverick and His Machine; The World’s Banker; For Richer or Poorer
As Peachey tells it, schools began their decline when a number of things conspired after the election of the Labour government in 1999.
Peachey came to believe only one thing had changed: he was politically untrustworthy, prepared to challenge the educational powers that be and needed to be put in his place.
The other reasons are the growth of the sector’s bureaucratic arms, the government’s move to abolish bulk funding of teachers’ salaries and the inability of school boards to pay teachers on merit — a move strongly opposed by the teacher unions.

Reports that National Party MP Allan Peachey made disparaging remarks about Selwyn College to a contributing primary school add to the growing evidence that his email threat to Selwyn’s principal was more than a mistake, Debbie Te Whaiti said today.
Te Whaiti said Mr Peachey appeared to be driven by a personal vendetta and ideological differences with the school’s management.
Te Whaiti said Peachey had badly misjudged his role as a member of parliament and a servant of the people and in doing so had badly damaged his political credibility.

 Quest For Security - Politics, economics and culture in NZ: One of Parliament's Worst MP's
Catching up on my usual browsing of MP's websites for comical photos, idiotic news and attempting to find evidence of general deprivation, I chanced upon the exceptionally unfortunate news that National Party dunce MP Allan Peachey was not challenged for control of his electorate.
My disdain for Peachey comes from his self-righteous behaviour and general lack of involvement in Parliament, and his rather discourteous behaviour outside the Beehive.
I think it may be more correct to say that Allan Peachey is THE worst MP in Parliament.

The odds on Waverley High School surviving are bleak, according to the National Party's associate education spokesman, Allan Peachey, a former high school principal.
After talking to sources close to the school, Peachey believes Waverley High has been run by a group of self-serving staff and, when a new principal came in and tried to bring about change, he was stonewalled.
Even worse, said Peachey, NZQA and ERO glossed over problems with education jargon in reports that parents would struggle to understand, and failed to act fast enough.
