Lodge, Nevile Sidney, 1918-1989 :M.P. Ruth Richardson says that when parents take as much interest in their children's education as they do in racing guides and the TAB, progress will be made in education... "Right kids, let's do some 'rithmatic - last Saturday I bet $5 on a horse that paid $2.50, so if you multiply 5 by 2.50 how much did I collect?" Let's do history - in 1976 Sir Tristram landed in New Zealand." "Tonight we're going to do Maori - Matamata, Te Rapa and Awapuni are the names of well-known race meetings." 14 May, 1987

- Description
Shows three small scenes in each of which a parent teaches their children a different subject by using their interest in horse racing and betting to make the subject relevant. One teaches arithmetic by having his children work out his betting wins, another teaches history by telling his son when Sir Tristram, a racehorse landed in New Zealand and a third teaches Maori by having the children learn the Maori names of race courses. Refers to National Finance spokesperson, Ruth Richardson's call to parents to take their children's education seriously.
