I was with you until you used the letters O B and A…you started with “politicians” so I thought you were unbiased and against bad governance…until you said OBA…haven’t you heard of the PLP..?? Hahaha…you’re transmitting loud n clear but I think you better get your receiver checked.

It is time that these politicians stop messing with our lives and our children. Money has made you so EVIL that you are destroying not just our country but our children. It is time to make a change. Everyday is a struggle between the haves and have nots. With more and more being taken from the have nots. We as a PEOPLE are being abused everyday by these OBA politicians. It is time to fight back. There is no more “GOOD MORNING” or “I’M DOING FINE”. Let these vilains know that you will not sit down while they constantly TAKE, TAKE, TAKE. . Words just float in the air and lawyers use them to keep you in check. OBA politicians playing tit for tat with our lives and the lives of our children. And constantly using MONEY as the fact that this is what we do when we are broke. B*****. Normally people work Smarter, they don’t sell off everything.

Question? Why would you release this information in the same week that schools are going to be registering children? Is this a scare tactic. Now parents are going to be questioning where they should place their child.

@bluebird,

Have you even read the report? I’m about a quarter way through and one of the things it is saying is that the current schools are too small.

Try reading it before you comment.

We are going to have to “CLOSE” some schools as we don’t have the population to fill the places.
And “NO” don’t give the teachers more money as many don’t earn it today anyway.
$2.385BILLION in DEBT still borrowing $220MILLION per year and paying just under half a Million dollars per day in Interest.
Now try and pull that one out.

What happened to the “adopt a school” programme?? If some of the schools are in such poor shape and the Government does not have the money to fix them up, why not go out to the community at large to find another solution besides closing our schools??

Gilbert Institute (I am a parent of a GI graduate and have about a 30 year interest in the school as numerous family members have attended the school over the years) is an amazing school. The campus is well kept and has been assigned as the school for the hearing impaired for many years now.

It would be such a travesty if ANY of the schools were to close because successive Governments dating back to the 1990′s (if not before) have failed the public education system. The school system has been treated like the proverbial ping pong ball…Not one plan to revamp the system has been successful and now the “threat” of closing schools has again resurfaced!

Mr Scott, you need to listen to the people of Bermuda!

Even though my child is out of school now, I will be attending one of the planned meetings because I still have a vested interest in the education of our children.

I urge all parents who have school aged children to attend a meeting and make sure your voices are heard!

absolutely crazy.. we see the results that cedar bridge gave us and now they want to do the same with primary schools. If they really wanted to improve our future we should be doubling down on education for our youth. Instead they are doubling down on tourism, big govt/private jobs, immigration.. the kids are innocent do not gamble with their future..

Scott: Real human beings will be affected by you and your party’s philosophy for MOVING AHEAD AND DOING WHAT IS RIGHT.
Do you care about your “own children’s future” in this country. You are tinkering with young lives.
This could come back to bite you and your party.
