We might be in a better position then to remove race from the process and be more focused on education and solutions. However, this does not mean that with the PLP in charge, that it will be able to move us forward.

Not one of you said that between 2013 and 2017. So shove your disingenuous calls for unity.

….which crafted the road map for the reimplementation of the Standards Based Grading system…

Seriously? All that comes out of this education system is planning and more planning and no doing! That goes for both political parties and moreso for the OBA who are playing petty politics when we need to come together and get something done!

sigh … political sniping will not improve learning outcomes – a bipartisan approach is needed to get to grips with our challenges in public education.

The overall student body numbers are not huge, we need some clear thinking heads to work as temporary Boards for our schools BUT we also need a commitment that good teachers will be celebrated and weaker teachers will be supported AND the weak teachers who do not grow through support will be aided to find alternate employment.

Our students deserve effective teaching at all levels and that will mean some people who are less suited for classroom practice or administrative jobs in the schools should be moved away from the profession. Teaching is not an easy job and is is not for everyone!

How on this island could Cole Simons know what is going on in the public school arena. He and his “BAND” did absolutely nothing for this public school system. Get lost, Cole!!
Dr. Curtis-Tweed would tell Cole that he did nothing for our school system, but appeared at Berkeley Institute, along with dunkley, et al.
They were scolded.
Go to Berkeley Institute and ask the students and staff , who were there during the OBA, are aware of O.B.A.’s nothingness approach to the school!!!!
