A worrying situation at President’s College
Dear Hon. Minister of Education,
This missive is of a matter of grave concern to the students of President’s College and their parents. I am writing to you out of frustration with the hope that some kind of intervention would be forthcoming.
We are at the end of the school term and still some classes are without important teachers for subjects like English A & B, Biology and Communication Studies and more. Students most affected are the fourth to sixth form students.
Not so long ago President’s College boasted that their children had no reason to take lessons and still had performances in the top 10 at CSEC and CAPE because they had dedicated teachers who would take their jobs seriously, who would substitute classes if perchance they missed a period, who would study with them at study period and who helped them along the way.
Today, teachers sit in the staffroom to chat while children are left unattended. English is the most affected. Children in the fourth and fifth forms can tell you they never had or if at all how few times the teacher entered the class room . They might have had a teacher in third form but at this crucial time some fourth and fifth formers have not had instruction for the year so far and no one seems to care.
Efforts were made to speak with the Principal but this one is perpetually busy or not there. Never seen a Principal so busy who cannot attend to the concerns of the students.
She, as a History teacher, is also, guilty of not fulfilling her classes.
There are lots of things that are out of place there and I hope that the authorities can do something about it. Noticeable is decline in discipline not only with the teachers but the children.
Just walk in the compound between 9:00am and 4:00 pm.
Concerned parents and students
Editor’s Note: It is a pity that the affected parents are not bold enough to challenge the school to perform, choosing instead to write anonymous letters around the globe.
If a similarly unsigned is received by the authorities there is unlikely to be any remedy. The authorities would simply ignore the missive.
