Diallo. Don,t open your mouth until you can confidently tell Bermuda exactly what is to take place. Every time a question is asked, response is, I don’t know, I’m not sure, we are in consultation. You don’t know and will never know. Lee Simmons came to a presentation at Berkeley Institue years ago, questions were asked by students and parents. Majority of his responses were, we have not discussed that, I cannot respond to that, we are still trying to iron that out. Many were after this sham was over, thinking he was full of it or truly government was wasting our students and parents time. So, get your facts n figures in order or, shut up n resign.

Dear PLP,

you have successfully taken the oxygen out of Bermuda and politics.

It feels like a UBP echo chamber.

who would have ever imagined the PLP would become a conservative status quo party that now crushes ideas and anyone who doesn’t fall in line for a paycheck, to be a minister or for a contract.

shame on you PLP.

Foundation years are part of private schools education primarily because it generates one more year of fee paying for the institution. Government provides parish nursery schools at a cost to all taxpayers . Are taxpayers now expected to pay both a foundation year and government nursery costs too?
I am shocked at the lack of response to the amalgamation of primary schools which I agree with wholeheartedly. The uproar that occurred when this was suggested by the OBA/UBP was deafening.

“Many changes will occur in the years to come. As we undertake those changes, we will keep the lines of communication open; we will continue to engage stakeholders; and we will always give careful consideration to how we move forward, keeping students and staff at the forefront of any decisions.”

But we will not tell you yet what changes we are going to make!

Why even bring it up if you are not making changes and haven’t begun any consultation?

Middle schools seems to be a PLP weapon since 2012, weird how the PLP saw nothing wrong with them before 2012, or if they did, they did nothing about it.

This is more back pedaling from the PLP, this and tax on rental income, following significant backlash from the public.
