This is the third volume of a trilogy detailing the everyday experiences of NZ school children. There are no celebrities but there are two Members of Parliament. The book covers State and Private schools, single sex schools, co-educational and a Maori immersion school. While some of the Maori sailed through the school system without any problems, some came up against prejudice and discrimination from both teachers and pupils. Kiwi School Days traverses all aspects of schooling: academic, sporting, religion, school buses and libraries, assemblies and prize-giving, uniforms, and social activities.Each interviewee has a brief after school profile.
On 22 September 2016 Charlotte Murray wrote in the Bay of Plenty Times, reviewing Volume One. 'This is lighthearted reading which brings school memories vividly to mind. However, the personal interviews which were set to a list of questions, have a sobering harshmess, especially from the boys who lavish memory of the cane and bullying. It is a great Kiwi book to gain a thorough account of education in NZ from a wide selection of schools, teachers (good, bad and ugly) and varied social societies.'
Ross Sutton was born in 1945 in Te Awamutu, New Zealand. His parents were sheep farmers. Schooled privately, it wasn't until he went to the USA on an American Field Service scholarship that life blossomed and it transformed his life. He attended the Victoria University of Wellington gaining BA (Hons) and began a secondary school career teaching History. Ross had his own antique business for ten years then inherited 24 hectares (60 acres) and farmed for a further ten years.Ross loves research and writing (his interlectual stimulus) and playing croquet (his physical stimulus) in his retirement.
