    Nonsense Teachers are unhappy. Before you try rally their cause. You coming with this nonsense..Using an unfortunate situation to get points or relevancy..Get on board and help the teachers fight for justice.. Not this..

    While this is a good idea, I’m afraid this may further divide than unite. Due to the current situation at hand, this can put teachers, student, parents against each other. Let’s no forget the most famous issue there is: local vs expatriate teachers. Which ever one wins this is sure to start some mess. Also, when some teachers felt the should be nominated they will be mad a their students. Please don’t do this to the children.

    I would suggest you purchase much needed supples for each school. You can also have a Fun day for the Teachers and their families. This way everyone gets to benefit.

    The BVI is a very prejudiced place at times — there are certain things we could do, that we dared not do!!!

    The bvi has a shortage of healthcare professionals, especially in critical areas that have a significant impact on public health. Maybe the Roatry clubs can lead with a project on this!!

    Every teacher have influenced every students lives. The end! Now, how about we focus on actually getting them paid for doing so! The project should instruct to coin a letter or poem to the education minister to demand justice for the valuable teachers. Stop the nonsense now!
