Of course the PLP always listen before they put things through. They listen, but then they ignore.

All Civil Servants and MPs should be banned from sending their children to private schools. Then see how quickly there is a major change. It will never happen because Education is run by incompetent Civil Servants who cannot be disciplined or fired. Live with it.

What about the PLP Ministers – current ones – who have sent their children to private schools? What does that tell you about what they think of Bermudian teachers?

lovely your children attending public school. to me that really says something as the leader of the country. Just like the Japanese leader did not just tell the public that the area from the power plant accident was save He also DRANK the water from the same area.

STFU! The teachers are the leaders, their azzez should be in the classes. The minute parents decide not to send their children to school, they are threaten with court procedures.

Sadly the ministry is run by important people who are important because of the size of their paycheck- not because they are actually working to improve the education of our young people, or enable our teachers to teach. Another part of this problem is that education is not about teaching anymore, its about meetings, meetings and reports and files- which do not enable teachers to actually teach.
Weird how the PLP got their faithful to ensure the OBA didn’t get in, but Bermuda is in worse shape, and we have even more strikes…

LOL , yeah ‘they didn’t listen’ that’s excuse number 328 out of a thousand you all keep making up. The list grows by the day !
It had nothing whatsoever to do with any of your excuses but NONE of you will come clean and admit the truth .
Enjoy your massive COL increases and shrinking earning power.

It’s an open secret that the Dept. of Education is the root cause of all the issues. More civil servants than teachers, more spent of the Dept. than on schools. It’s a disgrace.

…glad that there was dialogue.
UBP AND oba NEVER, EVER cared a darn about public school educators and their students. Oba always cared about money..money …money.
Bermudians, do not forget the nasty, distasteful methods repeatedly utilized by O.B.A. from 2012 to 2017.That group of cavemen were the WORST in the past 60 years.Rather crude group, led by Dunkley.

Can you imagine a private sector company Senior Manager saying “well it’s up the the employees if we start work again Monday”? Minister Robain has just shown why he is irrelevant and a 100% waste of a paycheck.

When asked if students will back in the classroom on Monday, Minister Rabain responded, “That is what we would like to see happen. That was something that was not finalized

So our “leaders” can’t tell us. They can’t get even the simplest things right.

That’s really a mature statement to make and if you ate a teacher you should retire early.

The reason that appears to have caused this is that the PLP didn’t listen……presumably you still voted for them!

I find it interesting that the PLP are urging teachers back to work, the Minister talking on Friday in strong terms about “them not be authorised to be out of school”…and yet, if it were bus drivers, or trash truck drivers it would be a different tone.

” We have to do things better moving forward ”

This is getting beyond tedious . Every day it’s someone using another tired cliche involving phrases like , ‘Moving forward’ or ‘We can do better’ , or ‘ We deserves better ‘ blah blah
All nothing but meaningless political platitudes.

The headline statement should read .. ” We must stop going backwards , the regression is rapidly killing this island”

PLP think they are “Teflon Dons” like Trump. If “they did better” and really focused on doing “the right thing for all”, instead of constantly pointing fingers at others, we’d all might start seeing some positive progress.

What’s really interesting is that the membership were the ones to bring up and talk about the strained relationship with the Department/Ministry, we were the ones to bring up the fact that things need to change (which we’ve been saying for YEARS) and we are the ones who have been trying to have a full membership meeting with the Department/Ministry…not the Minister. Not cool to take credit for something you kept postponing and brushing over.

Create an Education Authority, get rid of the Department and Ministry and run it like the private schools are run. Controversial yes, but the hard choices are usually the right ones. One thing is clear, the present system is failed beyond repair.

“When asked if students will back in the classroom on Monday, Minister Rabain responded, “That is what we would like to see happen. That was something that was not finalized..”

Perhaps he could have got the Minister who paid himself %60,000 of borrowed taxpayer funds for ‘Efficency’ to help work out whether schools will be open on Monday.

This lot cannot do one single thing right can they. It’s just a bunch of frikin idiots.
