What a ridiculous situation! We've stripped teachers of all their powers of authority - now have to pay to police the schools. Surely, the first thing we need is to reinstate support for teachers with a power for them to take action against pupils who are unruly or break the law? Discipline is the answer, but there is none and why? Because you mustn't smack naughty children, you mustn't have corporal punishment in schools, you must help the unruly ones by giving them free holidays. At what point do those with any sense say we have had enough and revert back to common sense?
Blah Blah Blah could have asked the same question in 97 when the PLP won a whopping 5 seats out of 40. But then maybe you might not have been born yet so you would not have known about that little fact.
What's the point? If teachers were trained correctly to control a class and enforce a suitable level of discipline there would be no need for this at all. The police should be out patrolling and ready to respond to street crime as it occurs. The kids don't respect the police let alone the teachers. If they know that at the end of the day that there are little or no repercussions for their actions then the disruptive behavior will continue.
cnonny I am giving them the benefit of the doubt but some of us have just been down this road before with this group. And its starting to look like 2002 all over again, I truly just want them to get things moving all this talk talk talk gets a bit redundant.
If I am not mistaken during the whole election all the unfortunate lives that were lost due to murder in this country were put squarely at the feet of the then governing party. People were blaming the government for not doing enough to curb or stop the violent crimes that were happening in our communities and the flames of this already hot topic were fanned during our election season making the whole thing political. I just simply stated a fact just like the 490+ signs.
The so called FNM regime's PM might have to apologize at every constituency he lands in but at least he doesn't have to make excuses as to why people are not showing up to his rallies. Maybe the first thing the Opposition leader should do is make sure there is gas in Andros if and when he gets in so people can come out to see him when he visits. Laughable
You certainly do make the rounds on these boards.Exit polling has proven to be no more reliable than pre-election polling and, in some cases, has been even further off the mark.Noways..all these polls are manipulative and beyond the actual truth.
