After all, those parents are paying over and above what the parents of a child in government school education are paying.

There are several ways to deal with the problem.

Are our schools used for a baby sitting service ?

Charge the parent with ” nomimnal school fees ” may be they the parent would take an interest in their young persons education.

Are the parents doing the young persons homework?

Are the young people getting far too much homework all day all night is way to much.

Are the young people being taught the wrong history lessons.

Are the teachers just plain lazy?

Falling through the cracks is a cop out !

We know who to blame for that.

Do teachers take many mental health days ?

The standard exam is not the best way to determine the young Persons ability to retain information. NO !

Parents on a roster basis should sit in class to report on the level of education their young peple are getting.

The head master /mistress should also sit in class

The people responsible are all of the seat warmers in the Ministry. Start at the top there.

What will it take for the Education Minister to resign? How does he sleep at night, how is Burt comfortable not taking action?

Surely our children’s future is the most important thing and yet we can’t even keep schools open.

I will never vote for them again.

Once they leave they refuse to even substitute. It is that bad.
