This school’s teachers have behaved very unprofessionally
DEAR EDITOR,
I honestly hope that my letter will capture the attention of the Minister of Education. There was a recent incident that occurred at a secondary school in Berbice with a female student. One teacher who knew of the incident reported to the head teacher, which is of course protocol, but there was a staff meeting where the incident was discussed and later told to every class of the school.
Why were our teachers so unprofessional when it comes to protecting our children? The only thing that was left to do was paste posters of this child all over the place. Students started internet discussion on the incident and a teacher of the school informed a television station that in doing all of this, it brings down the self esteem of the child, who is aiming for exams.
A teacher is like a second parent to our children, but today we have to know their status before disclosing anything to them. My concern is that children fear to disclose things to teachers because they are not confidential. Why can’t teachers be as professional as their job requires? Some of them only teach because they get a salary – the love for children and the job is not there.
Speaking as a parent of children going to that school this is not the first incident where this school’s teachers have behaved very unprofessionally. I am calling on the relevant authorities to investigate and send these teachers on special training to make them more professional and know the value of these vulnerable children who depend on them for a bright future.
