Good Day,<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This letter serves as a public cry for help in regards to concerns that has been ongoing for quite some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been an educator employed in the Government System for two decades and counting. A few issues that we as teachers face on a daily basis, which I wish to highlight are; Poor Management and Productivity, High Levels of Teacher Transfers, Highly Toxic Environment, Chronic Absenteeism of Teachers, Unrealistic and unreasonable Expectations, Overwhelming workload, Daily Exhaustive Supervision, Continuous Funding requests from students and The Removal of Music as a Subject area, just to name a few.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, I have worked at 4 different schools and this is by far the worst management I\u2019ve ever experienced. The administration consists of a principle and two deputies, and to be quite honest the three put together does not equate to one. I am not usually one to come to the public to express my frustration, but I feel like I\u2019ve been left with no other choice.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I am of the opinion that I can speak for most Teachers when I say \u201cWe are burnt out\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this particular school plant, most times it is chaotic. This is where the poor management skills and lack of productivity is most evident. To make matters worse, many teachers were transferred out, majority by request, left on duty\/study leave, maternity leave or in some cases long leave or sick leave. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The transfers in, if any at all are not suffice to cover the shortage. This essentially resulted in students being without a teacher sometimes up to 6 sessions in one given day. All teachers that would have \u201cchecked out\u201d mostly did so as a means of trying to flee the make-shift, prison-like, toxic environment, that is created by the leadership of this school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teachers are often buried in a mountain of responsibilities to include lesson planning, grading and administrative tasks, extracurricular activities related to school, with insufficient resources such as inadequate technology and a lack of classroom supplies and administrative support. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Due to the vast unreasonable expectations of teachers on this school plant, in my opinion the school is faced with a chronic absenteeism of teachers due to being overworked, stressed and spent. On one particular day, up to as much as 15 teachers reported sick or was unable to report for duty. In addition, the teachers that \u201cweather the storm\u201d and push through, are met with a reward of exhaustive supervision which is broadcasted daily. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Supervision has become such a norm, that it has been slotted into teachers\u2019 timetables. So, essentially, the sessions in between sessions that once would have been used for lesson planning and\/or just regrouping to go again, are none existent or far and in between. It has also become a practice for administration to assign teachers with supervision duties while the teacher is already themselves engaged in having their assigned class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this said moment the teacher is expected to teach, fill the role of a \u201cglorified babysitter\u201d and essentially engage all students at the same time. This is absolutely wrong. As a result of lack of contact time in various subject areas, a parent would have expressed that she would be requesting a transfer for her child to another school as she would have noticed how many classes are missed daily as a result of the lack of teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another very pressing issue is, almost on a weekly basis a fundraiser of some sort occurs disguised as a mod day. This is where students are allowed to dress up out of uniform and display their personal styles except there is catch, they have to pay to wear their own clothes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know when I attended school, I would look forward to these kinds of days, however with the students at this school, not so much. It has gotten to a point that whenever a day like this comes around, the students will opt to stay home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to them, \u201cEverything ah money round yah\u201d. It is safe to say that school spirit is non-existent for the majority as the same thing happens when sports week comes around. Upon their return to school, if they are without a written excuse from parent\/guardian they will be sent home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents are you not concerned about the contact time your child\/children are receiving or lack thereof, when they attend school daily? Don\u2019t you want to know about your children\u2019s progress since the school year has started? If you have not yet visited your child\u2019s school or collected a report, please do so with urgency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask questions and make inquiries. Parents are known to avoid approaching the administration altogether because of fear of victimization, so they accept what is given and walk away defeated. Parents, if you are not satisfied with the responses, agitate for better learning conditions for your child, hold the relevant persons accountable, reach out to the relevant authorities. Speak up and don\u2019t let your child be robbed of an education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a country school, I am sure you are wondering which one, music has been very prevalent in this community so much so that a very noteworthy artist once walked the halls and corridors of this said school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one thing that would unite everyone was taken away without reason or cause leaving the children at a disadvantage and limited exposure to the artform. It is a shame that Music as a subject area was permanently removed from the curriculum offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dire need of attention needs to be directed to our Education System within this country and I am asking that the Minister of Education, Sports and Creative industries take a close look at the way in which the schools around this country are being mismanaged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As molders of the young minds and by extension our future, teachers have been undervalued for some time now and if this many continue to leave the profession it is going to cost us our future leaders.<\/p>\n
