A few weeks ago, Kelston Boys High School in West Auckland said they were at the front of an unsupported, attempted takeover to turn the school into a charter school. As well as this, more recently, the New Zealand Campus of Innovation and Sport, a charter school set to be established next year, was signed with a trust that did not exist. Amendments have also been made to the Education and Training Act, removing a clause requiring school boards give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. The move has seen backlash from the National Iwi Chairs Forum and a growing number of schools, who have launched a petition against the move.  Finally, the controversial Regulatory Standards Bill has passed its third reading and is now set to be implemented into law. The bill previously received 156,000 public submissions, with 98.7% of those voicing their opposition to the bill. For our weekly catch-up with ACT Party's Simon Court, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host Joel spoke to him about these topics. They started off by asking Court about Kelston Boys High School and the New Zealand Campus of Innovation and Sport, and how concerning these developments are for the ACT Party.

Most of these are condo's across the street from the beach. The HOA has undertaken replacement work of some of the plumbing infrastructure which required the opening up of walls and replacement of pipe. In the process of demolition, they destroyed the bathroom cabinetry, which quite frankly was not necessary. As they were nearing completion we started to replace the cabinetry. The security team from the HOA then notified us that we needed to stop work because we did not have a building permit for the improvements. I'm not an expert in construction. How should I be responding to the HOA and a building inspector if the building inspector shows up. -------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

At the time, it seemed like the internet was the answer, what's the question? Companies were spending hundreds of millions burying optical fibre anywhere they could. After all, the internet would need lots of fibre to carry all of that traffic. There was tons of investment in the core of the network to carry all of this traffic. I personally was an executive in the tech industry. I left Nortel in 1997.  The next company I was at was Tundra Semiconductor. We were designing microprocessor core logic chips that were used in all kinds of applications. One of our customers was Motorola who was shipping 250,000 cellular base stations a year. These would eventually be upgraded from the GSM base station to the Edge  base station and then eventually the 3G base station. Back in those days, the emphasis was on building out the core of the network.Later in my career I took progressively more senior positions in the tech industry. By 2004 I was VP of Engineering at AMCC that was headquartered in San Diego. I was also President of AMCC Canada.  My company had raised about $1B in the public markets at the height of the Dotcom frenzy. As a result, we had all kinds of startup companies parading through our board room with the hopes of getting acquired by a company with a ton of cash.  I learned to ask three very simple questions of every startup company. The answer to these questions revealed more than anything else. The technology, the features, the cool factor, none of it mattered. -------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)  

What does it look like to homeschool with more peace and less overwhelm? In this episode, Rebecca sits down with friend and fellow Family Liaison, Beka Heath, a homeschool mom of seven, to talk about how the book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less has shaped the way they think about homeschooling. Together, they explore what it means to choose “less but better” when it comes to curriculum, daily rhythms, and the expectations we place on ourselves. Beka shares practical ways she's applied these ideas in her own home—along with a few laughs and real-life moments from her busy household. If you're craving focus, clarity, or just a little encouragement, this conversation will help you cut through the noise and make space for what really matters.Show Notes:Essentialism by Greg McKeownRead Aloud Revival Episode #220 Essentialism for HomeschoolersThe Sequoia Breeze Podcast Plan Your Year with Pam Barnhill

To learn more, click on the link in the show notes and we will see you on Wednesday evening at 7PM. -------------On today's show we are looking at the continuing signs of weakness in the US economy. Of course with the government shut down , there are no numbers coming out of the BEA, or the BLS. Today would have been the monthly jobs report which consists of two reports. There is the headline employment report, sometimes called the establishment survey and the household survey. The employment report made headlines in a significant way when the numbers for the past year were revised down ward by over 900,000 jobs. The financial markets have come to rely on these reports when it comes to bidding on interest rate futures. The theory is that if the economy is strong and employment is strong, then the Fed will put more emphasis on suppressing demand by raising the cost of capital. This is the so-called hawkish stance where fighting inflation takes centre stage. If the economy is weak and jobs are disappearing, then the Fed in theory should take a more stimulative approach to reduce the cost of capital and encourage hiring. This was the stance in the last FOMC meeting which resulted in a 0.25% rate cut. So we have no data coming out and the market doesn't really know what to do. But there is data coming from private sources that are well respected. Payroll processing company ADP produces are regular report based on the aggregated and anonymized payroll data of more than 26 million U.S. employees. This week's report showed that the US economy shed 32000 in the month of September. ADP gathers their data weekly.We can confidently predict another 0.25% rate cut at the next FOMC meeting at the end of October and then a further rate cut at the December meeting. For those of us in real estate, this is good news. It means those variable rate loans that are indexed to SOFR will see a reduction of 0.5% before the end of the year. ----------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Highlands Community Charter and Technical Schools opened in Sacramento in 2014 with high ideals — to help adult students, many formerly incarcerated or new immigrants, to earn a diploma, improve English language skills, or learn a trade. Now, the school is an example lawmakers and advocates point to as a reason for increasing charter school oversight. A state audit found the charter received millions of dollars in funding for which it was not eligible, assigned teachers to classes they were not credentialed to teach, and avoided standardized testing, in addition to spending on non-education-related items such as a trip to Paris and leasing a semi-professional ballpark.

My uplifting story of the week involves charter schools. Charter schools are the little idea that could. Or maybe they are the big game-changing idea that could. We heard this week of the first public school wanting to explore the charter route. It's in Northland and it's being driven by the realisation that what they currently do doesn't work for their kids. And that is the genesis of the charter school thinking. Remember, charter schools go back to a previous Government, before Labour took to them in 2017. So this isn't new. But the basic premise was one size does not fit all and a lot of kids may well benefit from different styles and approaches to learning. I have been a fan from day one. Not because charter schools are magic bullets, but rather the simple premise that what we have demonstrably doesn't work for everyone. You can't hide from the facts and the truth and our pass rates, our success rates, are shocking. The unions simply bleat for more resource. Even if it is a partial answer, it isn't close to being the whole answer and their myopic view that there can only be one way is a very large part of the overall handbrake that has prevented real change and advancement. The Northland school, I thought, gave excellent insight. They have good people, they work hard, but they are simply not getting the cut through, so they need to try something different. They didn't used to be “for” charter schools, but just their ability to accept change needs to be admired and encouraged. Chris Hipkins as Education Minister in 2017 killed them. Not because they weren't working, but because he is beholden to the unions and there was no way they were ever going to get a chance to prove them wrong. So what we have seen this time round is no shortage of demand for schools. In fact, more schools are demanding it than there is money allocated. We see the first public school, or at least the first public school prepared to admit they want to look at change, which leads surely to a growing sense charter schools might at last have their time. Some may well turn out to be brilliant, lives may well get changed and the recognition of a decent idea may well be widely accepted. It seems the momentum is on.

How is AI actually being used in classrooms today? Are teachers adopting it, or resisting it? And could software eventually replace traditional instruction entirely?In this episode of This Week in Consumer AI, a16z partners Justine Moore, Olivia Moore, and Zach Cohen explore one of the most rapidly evolving — and widely debated — frontiers in consumer technology: education.They unpack how generative AI is already reshaping educational workflows, enabling teachers to scale feedback, personalize curriculum, and reclaim time from administrative tasks. We also examine emerging consumer behavior — from students using AI for homework to parents exploring AI-led learning paths for their children. Resources:Find Olivia on X: https://x.com/omooretweetsFind Justine on X: https://x.com/venturetwinsFind Zach on X: https://x.com/zachcohen25 Stay Updated: Let us know what you think: https://ratethispodcast.com/a16zFind a16z on Twitter: https://twitter.com/a16zFind a16z on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/a16zSubscribe on your favorite podcast app: https://a16z.simplecast.com/Follow our host: https://x.com/eriktorenbergPlease note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Does the First Amendment give a church the right to open a religious charter school? Or can states require that charter schools be secular, as part of the government's system of public education? The Justices wrestle with those questions in a case from Oklahoma, which could be a landmark ruling, with consequences for nearly four million students who now attend charters.
