Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakawakia e ngā mātua tētahi tumuaki kura tuatahi o New York i muri i tana rēhitatanga i ngā kaiako kia kaua e hoatu he mahi kāinga ki a rātau ākonga. E ai ki te pae rongo ā-rohe DNAinfo, i tukuna e Jane Hsu, te tumuaki o te P.S. 116 i Kips Bay, Manhattan, he reta ki te kāinga ki ngā mātua o ngā ākonga katoa o te Pre-K tae noa ki te reanga rima e whakamōhio ana ki a rātau e kore ngā kaiako o te kura e whakawhiwhia ki ngā mahi hei mahi mā ngā tamariki i waho o ngā haora kura. I whakaaro ia kia pai ake te whakapau i te wa o ana akonga ki te arotahi ki etahi atu, nga mahi ahuareka ake, penei i te purei i nga taakaro ataata, te matakitaki pouaka whakaata, te noho i waho ranei. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Te whakatakoto i tōna waewae ki raro: P.S. 116 te tumuaki a Jane Hsu (māui), i whakaahuahia ki te tumuaki tuarua a Gary Shevell, kua rāhuitia ngā mahi kāinga mō ngā ākonga i tōna kura. 'Kua nui te aro ki te kaupapa o te mahi kāinga i enei wa, ā, kua tino kitea ngā pānga kino o te mahi kāinga,' i whakamārama a Ms Hsu ki ngā mātua i roto i te reta. 'Kei roto i aua mea: te mauiui o ngā tamariki me te ngenge, te kore wā mō ētahi atu ngohe me te wā whānau, ā, he mea pouri ki te tokomaha, te ngaro o te hiahia ki te ako.' I tāpiri atu a Ms Hsu i te mea 'e harikoa ana ia kei te tautuhi anō mātou i te horopaki o ngā mahi kāinga', i mua i tana whakamārama i te mea kāore ia i te whakapono kei te 'whakakore' ia i ngā mahi kāinga, engari kei te whakarerekē i ngā tūmanako o ōna mātua me ōna ākonga i runga i te tikanga o taua kīanga. Engari ahakoa he tino harikoa ana akonga ki te rongo, he iti ake te harikoa o o ratou matua ki te whakatau a te kura. 'I whakaaro noa ahau pea ka pupuri ahau i taku tamahine i konei mo tetahi atu tau, engari na tenei i akiaki i ahau ki te pito,' ko Daniel Tasman, te papa o te akonga tuarua o te kura, i korero ki a DNAinfo. 'Koinei to ratou wa ki te ako inaianei, i te mea he pai to ratou mahara,' e ai ki a Stanley, te matua o te akonga o te reanga tuatoru i P.S. 116. 'E hoatu ana e ahau ki a ia te mahi anō, ahakoa. Ka haere ahau ki te Barnes and Nobles, ka hoatu ki a ia aku mahi kāinga.' Ko te mea whakamiharo, ko te tauākī o te kura - e wātea ana i runga i tana paetukutuku - e whakaatu mārama ana e hiahiatia ana nga akonga ki te...
I whakamōhio atu a Jane Hsu, te tumuaki o te P.S. 116 i Manhattan, ki ngā mātua i te marama kua hipa, kāore anō ngā tamariki kia whakawhiwhia ki ngā mahi kāinga. I tūtohu ia kia pai ake te whakapau o te wā o ngā ākonga ki te whai i ētahi atu, i ngā mahi ahuareka ake, pēnei i te mātakitaki pouaka whakaata, i te tākaro kēmu ataata rānei.
