A lot is wrong at this school

Apr 02, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
Please allow me to view some serious problems that are affecting problems at the J.C Chandisingh Secondary School. I am hoping that the relevant authorities would address these concerns urgently.
Two of my children are attending this school. I am also a former student of this school.
The following are my concerns:
–   One senior administrator is frequently absent and always late to work. As such, it is very difficult to make contact with her.
–   This administrator is always in her office and the door to the office has been locked for over two years.
–   The school is always out of finance and fund raising is being held very often.
–   Lots of time, some teachers are absent, or they are late or not going to their classes. Many days I would check my children’s books only to find out that they do not do any work for the day due to teachers’ absence, or the teacher being late or teacher having not gone to class because he/she is in the Head Mistress office attending to some matter.
Shouldn’t there be some sort of system in place for the students to be taught in the absence of any teacher?
I am working very hard to send my children to school and it pains my heart when they waste a whole day not doing anything in school.
Another problem is that one Head of Department encourages students to copy old SBAs instead of having these students to do the experiments and write their findings.
Also, the Head of another Department expects the students to bring their own tools to work with in the garden. This head should be responsible for providing tools to the students.
It has been one month now since the Information Technology Department is not functioning because the IT teacher migrated and there is no electricity in the laboratory. How can the IT students be prepared for their CSEC examination which is months from now?
The teacher that is in charge of the Social Studies department is always late for work. How can the department function with such a head?
Students are habitually late for school. I am working on the road so I can tell you this. What are the teachers doing about student lateness?
Last but not least, the school environment is very untidy and there seems to be an absence of bins which is contributing to the deplorable state of the compound.
I suggest that the transfer of the recalcitrant to schools closer to their homes.
Concerned Parent
