Bermuda’s loss.

It won’t be the first loss Bermuda suffers under Heatley. Time will tell, but then of course, the damage will have been done.

But your initial post confirms the poster’s point above.

You are more worried about how this appointment will affect the Unions as compared to the students quality of education.

So your love of the Unions is now showing your “morbid hatred” of the students themselves.

Nevertheless, let me say that Unions have and continue to stand up for the individual rights of those in the workplace whose voices are sometimes squelched by unscrupulous employers. No, they are not perfect and sometimes make mistakes in judgment.

You should really try to get over your morbid hatred for unions. Do a little bit of research on unions in general. You may find that you have likely been a benefactor of some good things that unions have done for society in general.

Dr. Heatley has exhibited poor leadership in the past and is one of the reasons that people are upset over his appointment.

People like you need to stop misleading others with fallacious argumentation. You really do a disservice to intelligent discourse on issues that really matter to people in this community.

And these are the same people that are tasked with bringing up the net generation.

No wonder we are, where we are.

Instead of being concerned with the quality of the education that BDA children receive, you all are worried about how the Union will react.

And that’s a damn shame.

He is a graduate of the Broad Superintendents Academy who’s graduates have stirred up much controversy in the school districts that they have been assigned to in the United States.

Writing the Christian Science Monitor, Christina A. Samuels states “…Broad-trained superintendents use corporate-management techniques to consolidate power, weaken teachers’ job protections, cut parents out of decision making, and introduce unproven reform measures.”

As we all know, Bermuda’s Education System has already been damaged by controversial decision making and our children can ill afford any further disruptions in their education.

Let’s hope that this will not be case Dr. Heatley!

Give the man a chance. He says he’s a change agent and CHANGE is what’s needed.Got to try something different to obtain a different result. ijs

Food for thought…Our Americanized school system (mega high school) has produced these tossed to the side, falling through the cracks, unloved, uneducated bies, these murders, followers that are destroying our beloved paradise. What is sad about all this is that NO ONE is thinking about putting OUR Future Leaders best interest first. Or maybe what @TED said holds more truth than one would like to believe.

That explains quite a bit.

The word “Education” derives from the Latin word “Educe” which means to draw out of and not to cram info into and spit it back out.

One question I would like to ask is; Why does the Education only concentrate on Academic and Professional Education and leave out one of the most important part, Financial Education? I will leave that for another discussion.

1. As early as last year members of the board executive were intently lookin to hire a non-Bermudian Commissioner. This was expressed by outgoing commissioner

2. Job requirements were chosen, written, and applied to expressly exclude the experiences of any existing Bermudian job holder.

3. No Bermudian was ever interviewed for the position

4. No succession plan has ever been implemented or identified.
