Maori Language All children are capable of handling two languages quite easily. But the most important factor here is that far too often most Maori children have been subjected to poor Maori and poor English and these poor languages have been mixed up so much that the ‘disadvantaged’ child starts primary school with a dialect that is not the type that European children have experienced right from birth nor is it the language demanded by the school. What is required is correct Maori and correct English. In this way you can give your child a better chance to succeed at school.
