Please allow me space in your letter columns to express the frustration of parents who have to pay lessons fees.
I would like to know what a senior staffer of Queen’s college is doing giving lessons. Anyone can check at the building opposite the Shell Gas Station on Camp and New Market Streets in the afternoons to see this official.
As I was passing her class, going back to my vehicle, I peeked in just to see what was going on. As usual with most of these lessons, it was overflowing with children, with close to 40 students or so.
The thing about these lessons’ teachers is that it’s not as if they’re charging a $1,500 or $2,000 to help them at the end of the month.
As a parent, I have been following the letters in the newspapers about teachers and their problems over the years, but having a senior of the country’s top school doing this is enough to set even the most understanding parent off.
Sincerely,
Parent
