How will things get better if there is no public leadership in such an important dept. as education? We need someone who can not only lead but communicate with the public so as to get parents & students involved in changing the way things are!!! Why can we not teach the children by our example that they can help to change the status quo and make it better? Instead of sitting around complaining and criticizing someone else, do something!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-70838058525648941922009-04-14T07:43:00.000-04:002009-04-14T07:43:00.000-04:00Making suggestions about education is like throwin...Making suggestions about education is like throwing messages to someone who we believe is sitting at a desk in a dark, bottomless pit. We don't know what happens to our messages. We're not even certain that there's anyone down there. If there is, he or she is embattled, defensive and silent, and has enough problems without having to deal with our helpful suggestions. <br /><br />Both the Department and Ministry of Education are traditionally faceless in Anguilla. To assume a public position of leadership is to become a political target for all that has gone wrong with our young people. <br /><br />And so we have managers, and an us-versus-them mentality that creates animosity, inequity, and of course apathy. Leadership that is oppressive permits oppressive attitudes. Too bad for the students. Many of them could have benefitted from an education.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37949944.post-71119038337223876762009-04-13T09:22:00.000-04:002009-04-13T09:22:00.000-04:00I fing it somewhat surprising that no-one has comm...I fing it somewhat surprising that no-one has commented yet. I wonder why? Could it be that no-one really cares or that those who do are tired of having suggestions thrown back in their faces, or who really cares about the throwaway children? The government can spend thousands on a plane service, but if we don't care of our children whow if we don't care of will help to destroy the tourism area. Times change and so must approaches to problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
