The Union often Blocks the Department of Education from putting into place plans to improve teaching. As soon as teachers cry out, NO, the Union fails to check to see if this will benefit better teaching, and the students. Charles needs to grow up in his statements and move in a direction that helps teachers.

The BUT needs it’s money to fund attendance at sporting events in the Caribbean.

Your organisation is part of the issue of low educational attainment on our island. The shocking tolerance of low standards means that you have lost your moral authority to portray yourselves as the guardians and promoters of education.

Having been involved in school leadership for over 20 years, I can safely say that I have rarely seen such an organisation so comfortable with such poor teaching outcomes.

If you care about the children and parents of our wonderful island, you would start to use your fees to run lots of free CPD events to assist members to become more ambitious and achieve better outcomes in the classes that they have responsibility for.

As for education, the PLP want to close down schools and set up music, acting and sports facilities so that education becomes an even bigger disaster than it is now.

The one thing they could do, they can’t, because of unions. That’s hire the best teachers in the world.
Will never happen here because the union’s priority is not the welfare of the students.

SBG IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, THE LEVEL of Education a teacher should have it bogs the mind why they are unable to move forward. The union is no help in progressing teachers forward. This statement by the Union is weak.

State you case that you don’t agree but get the grades done as parents need to know how are kids are doing. You are stating the grades are fake!!!! Have they been real all of this time? Just to think the private schools use SBG…

Power School is often not used by schools as they should use it, at my child’s school they fail to use it on a regular basis. Why not teachers?

Technology is changing, and the reality we must move with the change. Most schools use some form of technology to record almost everything they do with children, Bermuda is way behind the ball. Lets do it for the children.

I am struggling with the fact that since 2015, teachers/Unions know this was coming and made no effort to ensure their teachers are trained up! Unions have just as much responsibility to ensure professional development of teachers and moving them forward, rather than just shout out we have not got this or that!

Seriously? You’ve had more than 3 years to figure things out and you still can’t? And you want to teach my grandchildren?

Your sentence about “duress” is repeated. Whitney Institute used to teach students not to do that

Its not that complicated of a system!!! Everyone elae can figure this out.

B.U.T and Teachers. Recognize this as reality. We the parents, tge public and govermment and future employers have a huge concern if the teachers along with their union are not smart enough to figure this out. Especially since you have been entrusted with educating our youth.

If you cant figure out how A STANDARDS BASED GRADING sysrem wirks, mayne you arr not fit enough to teach!!!! Its not rocket science. Its not that they cant but rather hey wont!

All you fn marchers that folleed like sheep where are you now?. Why are you not marching for your children and their future? AEE THE conceened Bermudians no longer concerned?
