And you left Huntly because....

Never knew they had a cinemas there lmao... I use to go up there every weekend because of my parent's work it was ok parts of it were gang affiliated but besides that it was descent at best

I grew up I huntly and was racially abused and physically abused by Maori for being white, horrible place to grow up, terrible memories

Well said! Some if the vest towns don't live up to societies ideals. However, when studies are done, people are on average happier than in the big cities that are rated highly.

Narp u outta ur mind

All that good education and I bet you're just the perfect husband too

​@@marilynschmidt6400 Why would you feel the need to say that? Are you a butt-hurt Huntly local who can't handle that anyone would criticise Huntly for being shit and not suffer the weak excuse that it's okay cos the people are great? Just because someone identifies institutional problems with a town, and is hostile to that town because of what it did to their childhood, it doesn't mean that they're somehow claiming they're perfect or without fault of their own. So your comment is clearly just a knee-jerk reaction that attempts to attack me personally and contributes nothing to the discussion. How about you contrast what I said with some stories about how the people in Huntly actually are great or endearing? Presumably not _everyone_ starves their kids (although the government's statistics disagree with regard to the West side), and maybe you've had some nice people bring in packages for you rather than steal them? And who knows, I was only there in the 90's, so things may have changed since I grew up their. But you can't just personally attack someone when they bring up their real and traumatic childhood experiences of a shit town and expect anyone to change their mind when all you're doing is demonstrating more of why the town is so shit. So yeah, 12/10 Huntly is a shit hole.

I stopped in Huntly on the way back to Hamilton, forget why, but I never forget the argument that was happening on both sides of the main road. A woman was yelling all sorts of colourful language at the bloke on the other side of the road. Welcome to Huntly! To be fair the eastern side with Lake Hakanoa is much nicer than the western side with the power station.

I need to know more about the maximum security primary school because I don't understand what that even means???? like are these developmental behavioral issues or like criminal behavioral issues? So do they put all those kids together in one school and have really strict rules for all of the students? it's like a juvenile detention center? If it's just segregated by what side of the river you live on, why would youths on one side have such an increased rate of deemed "behavioral issues"? Is this like when in Canada we say someone is from the "wrong side of the tracks" because they are poorer and have less access and support due to where they live? That's the closest thing I can think of that I've heard of it. Where the side with more money and access just choose to have their own school system and district because they believe or act differently, rather than putting kids geographically close in schools together and dealing with the issues that arise from having such a divide in the parent's income? In Canada, we have the Catholic school system that is better funded and supported than our public schools. The public schools and students are stereotyped as being more wild and having worse behavioral issues just because they were in a school that LOOKED and was less funded than the Catholic schools

@@abbielakhan8501 Yeah, it's just a geographical issue. The Waikato river goes right through the middle of Huntly, with the western houses worth less and almost entirely inhabited by minorities, while the eastern houses are generally nicer and more expensive, and typically inhabited by white people of varying incomes (it's not like they're all rich). Each side of the river has its own public primary school, but there is no school bus because you're supposed to go the local school on your side of the river. The only bus is for the high school students, as they all go to the same school on the western side, so a bus goes around to pick up all the eastern students. I don't believe the primary schools are zoned, but most parents aren't going to drive their kids all the way across to the other side of town every day just so they can go to a nicer school, so all the poor minority kids end up at the same school. Most of them have behavioural issues and/or learning difficulties because they come from turbulent homes with parents who typically aren't invested in their learning, and the rampant poverty in the area doesn't help at all. On the other hand, the school is incredibly well funded. New Zealand doesn't use the idiotic US system where schools are allocated funding based on student performance, which privileges schools in well off neighbourhoods full of white people. Instead, it has a decile system that ranks schools based on the average income of houses in the area. The lowest-ranked schools, Decile 1, are allocated the highest funding, while the highest-ranked schools, Decile 10, receive the least funding as they are more than capable of generating revenue from the parents through school fees and charges for extra-curricular activities. I honestly don't know what about the school is "maximum security", though, as there wasn't anything like that when I was there. I suspect they've merely added a huge fence around the school to prevent truancy, because it was common for kids to just leave at lunch time to try and find food that they could steal. There's certainly nothing from outside that needs to be kept out, as school shootings don't exist in NZ. However, feel like the term was used in the video perhaps as a joke about the calibre of the school and it's students, in which case it's very apt-and a little dark given that realistically most of the students are on their way to a penitentiary.

Nah, get hammered there bro. Who knows where you might wake up. :)

@@TheTruthKiwi That’s a scary prospect - you could wake up in far too much of Huntly
