Tim says vacation cut for students & teachers

guess who suffers from, this WE THE PEOPLE. people say there are no job but every day i see the paper filled with adds. u know how hard it is to get work in US, i am in london alot and u see the vast differnce in how we spend money.

one of the most iomportant job in ANY developing country is teaching KNOWLEDGE is power, It is the only way foward, in medicine, science, agriculture ANYTHING , people fight for money to research and LEARN more. Yet we objectify our precious teachers to this enviroment and the result is a battered jadded individual who now has to look out for themselves, to not bother because there is very little hope i agree with the above poster, we need to reward the ones who want to learn and give teachers the power to do so.

So if u read all this and still think its a bed of roses well dont complain when 1 com,es and tries to take whats yours at gunpoint.

agreed again...was reliably informed of a workshop held @ Enterprise Gov't Primary, wrt C.A.C. training where ALL Std 4 teachers throughout Trinidad attended, and were accommodated in the school's auditorium. No problem other than that there wasn't room for more than half of the attendees, insufficient resource material....it reflected piss poor planning by the moe.... borrowed concepts that moe wants to implement but doing so in adhoc, unprepared manner, with curriculum designers unsure as to how or even what needs to be done other than they must satisfy the whim and fancy of one bald eagle muppet...

I actually prefered school, during the holidays had too much house work and school work to do.

I am intrigued by the comments posted by De Dragon.....are your children home schooled?

btw, does high risk equate to high stress? or can high risk be low stress/high stress be low risk?

I am seeing something about agreeing to conditions when "signed up to teach"....similarly when office a/c break down the workers close up...they can't work because no a/c?...when they sign up it had an a/c clause? very interesting......anyway that's maybe a crap point...

teachers are employed to deliver the curriculum...determination of whether delivery is effective as per performance appraisal has still not materialised.....

students are expected to behave in a manner that does not threaten the physical (and/or otherwise) safety of other individuals within the institution.....that is a stated expectation of the moe.....many do not realise that this is policy of moe.....

wtf am I hearing

Strike action needs to be outlawed across the entire country. Anyone who strikes should be fired.

agreed.
teachers right now are very slack, i went to somewhat of a prestige school and i can say that there are few teachers that actually do their job and come to every class and do something constructive.
i met some teachers that never took a day off and did something everyday. I was knew some teachers that used to move with ipad and iphone and be on facebook whole day. (dont you have work to do?) they never thought, just walked in class and said read xyz and exam on soso date.

i also know some teachers that actually used to tell students that to come to her classes on evenings to finish out the work that is being teached in class. This doesnt make sense to me, why slack off and cant complete the work, or if they can get more time to complete it then they can finish the work in school.

which is what tim said.

look at this for example.
30$-45$ per class per student- 30x30 students = 900$ per class,
lets say theres 4 classes on a saturday.
4x900=3600$

and one classes on a evening. 5x900= 4500$

3600 + 4500 = 8100$ a week for the most.
8100x4= 32400$ total. they can make with lessons.

so lets say roughly 15k depending on how much they decide to teach ect.

and a teacher basic salary is roughly 7500$ a month.

really and truly there are those who through their actions or inactions cause labelling and stereotyping of the entire group...

True. You can say that about any group. Police, fire, bank tellers, etc, etc, etc...

Real Prestige schools have high standards, you won't find those teachers slackin off or striking, ever.

If they do protest they would wear a red shirt and that's it. They still come to class and teach.

#governmentschoolsproblems

Was never affected.

Yesterday i went to the ministry of education. At 1130am we had a clerk filing her nails ,another talking on her cellphone about the choice of her hair colour, another playing tetris while the desk phone kept ringing and ringing and finally another had her head on the desk. Tim should check their first and deal with them

My statement was not meant to be taken sarcastically well..... except the last part of it.But I truly believe that vacation should be cut an I also believe that it is the only good initiative this government has done
