Dear Daily Signal: I just read your commentary article on teachers and their unions and the continual refusal during the COVID-19 pandemic to create a better learning environment for our young children (“Teachers Unions Are Keeping Kids Out of the Classroom.

After taking just over two months to traipse the North Island, intrepid Queenstown teachers Susan and Ken McIntyre on Wednesday started trekking the Mainland.
Susan, 57, and Ken, 60, who’ve taught at Queenstown Primary and Wakatipu High, respectively, for the past 20 years, wagged school this term to walk the 3000km length-of-New Zealand Te Araroa Trail.
‘‘It’s been absolutely great,’’ says Ken, speaking from Wellington last week as the couple recuperated for a few days before tackling the top-of-the-South Island’s tough Richmond Range.
Susan, in particular, needed rest for a bit of shin tendonitis.
‘‘You have this thing called ‘trail pain’, everyone gets it somewhere,’’ Ken says.
