It is shocking, scandalous, and unbelievable that the problems at St. James High School in St. James continue. I was advised that this morning, workers reported for work and found the gate to the school padlocked. Is it a coincidence that this happened after confirmation that the board would continue with the same administration?
You cannot ask pus to guard butter. Di same pus wi nyam di butter. You cannot ask John Crow and Pechary to be in charge of anything. They will always be fighting against one another.
Nothing has changed. The same board, the same administration, and the same war. The children will suffer, and taxpayers' funds will continue to be wasted. May the good Lord help us to acquire some common sense.
It is time for the minister to act decisively. There are challenges between the chairman and board members, the chairman and the principal. The children continue to pay the hefty price for all of this nonsense. It's a fight for power, which taxpayers will pay for. May the good Lord help us!
If the problem was at Campion College, Immaculate Conception High School, or Jamaica College, the matter would already be resolved. Who cares for these rural children at a so-called non-traditional high school? Will this matter explode and become a topic for the approaching elections?
Is this segregation in education?
Traditional high schools like JC, Queens and Calabar have had their fair share of power struggles. BTW how have the students of St James High performed in recent years?
ReplyDeleteFifth out of about 150 schools in performance.Principal ,students and main teachers got to be doing something right.
DeleteFind that out, build on it no matter how much Jankrow, Pitchary,Hummingbirds or Ground Dove flying around.
That school is a tough school you recall people like the late Hugh Dawes helped to bring it up to a level.
Any principal for that school cannot be the traditional nice guy principal those types of schools have an Army of of students and teachers.
The leadership has to be a General to productively control the Gaza,Houthis and Hamas like factions.
Ministry of Education get all the information study it and get the thing right once and for all 14 years of this to and fro is too long.
Ministry of Education it nuh look good
The principal in an interview during SpotOn, said the students have done well. It is now one of the top secondary schools in St. James someone told me. There have been few public comments on this matter of whether the school is doing well or not. I have been told that the behaviour and performance of the students were very poor before Principal Joseph Williams took over.
DeletePrincipal Williams must be doing well to steer that school to where it is even if his strategies are unorthodox. I agree that the Ministry of Education has all data on the shool and should analyze them and decide wither the school goes. The nonsense in-housing fighting can not continue until somebody dies from the pressure of the issue (s) affecting the school.
ReplyDeleteThe Ministry must wake up and be decisive to rid the school of that politically charged chairman. Which other school chairman use the media to divide and want to rule a school? That chairman knows nothing about leadership. He and his media gang highlight their agenda but the positives of the school is never mentioned. Away with that cardboard chairman blogger christopher mccurdy. The school is progressing without you. You are a millstone around St. James High neck.
