    I trust all the former PLP ministers of education will be in attendance.

    Interesting topic, just wondering if culture was introduced in the schools during the past 14 years, not trying to be cynical, just want to know and if not why?

  3. Mad Dawg says:

    I can see two spelling mistakes on the PLP poster. Ironic, given the subject matter.

  4. Ringmaster says:

    Let’s at least get the flyer right. Progressive Labor Party, when the actual spelling is “Labour”. Then the first topic ends with “Selected Middle School” when it should be “Selected Middle Schools”.

    No wonder Education is in the state it’s in today.

    Are they going to address the fact that teachers can’t be fired no matter how incompetent they are?
