Seems like you may have already made up your mind on this one! You can't judge a place based on one experience, of course - and you know that there are jerks everywhere. Does the potential position involve working with/for lawyers? OK..kidding. But are your expectations of New Zealanders too high? I've lived in NZ and the US for equal periods of time, and I've noticed that Americans tend to idealize NZ a bit, ie. Everybody is nice, its very safe, you can hitchhike everywhere...Hobbiton it ain't.My mother grew up in NZ in the fifties, and she found it crushingly conformist, backward, and old-fashioned at the time. She (and many others) couldn't wait to leave the country to move to...London, Australia, the US...anywhere. NZ was about thirty years behind the rest of the world, and that wasn't necessarily a good thing. Over the years I think NZ that reserved, self-conscious atmosphere has lessened, NZ becoming more open minded, more sophisticated, and more secure in its identity. I would say it's definitely more "PC" and conservative than Australia (but what country isn't?).Australia is becoming more like the United States, and NZ is becoming less like Australia.The thing that strikes me as the biggest difference between NZ and the US is that in the US you are encouraged to be as confident and self-promoting as possible, whereas here it's kind of frowned upon. There's a phenomena known as "Tall Poppy Syndrome" in NZ where you must cut down the "tall poppies", ie. those who are more successful than you, to make yourself feel better. I do miss the utter (blind) self-confidence of Americans.I would say that the American "niceness" you speak of, that fake smiley shit, doesn't exist here and I don't think it will start any time soon. I do like how straightforward people are here. NZers are far more likely to invite you to their homes than Americans are (again, this depends on what part of the states you are from. I'm from the passive-aggressive Northwest).One final point: Auckland is so thoroughly different from the rest of the country, and if your job will be based in Auckland this might be the heart of the problem. Auckland was voted the Least Friendliest City in NZ recently (not that there's a lot of competition, but still). You might fare better in Wellington.Don't worry, this is still a really great country, on the whole I find people a lot more trustworthy -  and has not been taken over by the PC Police. But do be aware that while America is very much the "Wild West" of free speech, I find NZ to be a bit more stringent on that one. I was shocked to find when I moved back here that there is an Official Censor, which would never exist in the United States (we librarians wouldn't let that happen).

Departments of education and school districts always have to make decisions about what to include in their curriculum.  There are a lot of life skills that people need that aren't taught in school.  The question is should those skills be taught in schools?I teach high school, so I'll talk about that.  The typical high school curriculum is supposed to give students a broad-based education that prepares them to be citizens in a democracy and to be able to think critically.  For a democracy to work, we need educated, discerning citizens with the ability to make good decisions based on evidence and objective thought.  In theory, people who are well informed about history, culture, science, mathematics, etc., and are capable of critical, unbiased thinking, will have the tools to participate in a democracy and make good decisions for themselves and for society at large.  In addition to that, they should be learning how to be learners, how to do effective, basic research, and collaborate with other people.  If that happens, figuring out how to do procedural tasks in real life should not provide much of a challenge.  We can't possibly teach every necessary life skill people need, but we can help students become better at knowing how to acquire the skills they need.  Should we teach them how to change a tire when they can easily consult a book or search the internet to find step by step instructions for that?  Should we teach them how to balance a check book or teach them how to think mathematically and make sense of problems so that the simple task of balancing a check book (which requires simple arithmetic and the ability to enter numbers and words in columns and rows in obvious ways) is easy for them to figure out.  If we teach them to be good at critical thinking and have some problem solving skills they will be able to apply those overarching skills to all sorts of every day tasks that shouldn't be difficult for someone with decent cognitive ability  to figure out.  It's analogous to asking why a culinary school didn't teach its students the steps and ingredients to a specific recipe.  The school taught them about more general food preparation and food science skills so that they can figure out how to make a lot of specific recipes without much trouble.  They're also able to create their own recipes.So, do we want citizens with very specific skill sets that they need to get through day to day life or do we want citizens with critical thinking, problem solving, and other overarching cognitive skills that will allow them to easily acquire ANY simple, procedural skill they may come to need at any point in their lives?

Is it possible to assign IDs on the radio buttons as soon as the page loads ?

Yes, there is.But the question really should be: why do you want to do this?If you're looking to buy tickets to comiccon or some similar event that sells out quickly, you'll only be making things harder on yourself and others by constantly pinging the page to check for freshness.It might even get your IP banned from whatever site you're looking at. So please do not do this.EDIT (2016-02-04): Details were added that state the OP wants to check once a day.My answer remains the same: yes, it is definitely possible. It's actually quite simple. I would still be hesitant to do such a thing, or to share information about how to do it specifically. The world doesn't need any more script kiddies writing form-filling bots.
