Positive or not it’s news that has to be reported. So early in the morning you’re thinking nonsense?
So bright and early in the morning the first news you report is something negative? Any positive thing happened at all? Qe would like to start off our day on a positive note like we have been used to Antiguanewsroom.
That was poor judgment on behalf of the teacher. We live in an age where people are looking for stuff to take. If I had 7000.00 in my bag I would have it under my arm everywhere I go. Sorry for your loss.
Teacher the maths not mathsing!!!!
Didn’t a similar crime happen a few weeks ago when a teacher went on a trip with the children and left her bag in the school, I think it was on a chair that was pushed under a desk.
Unfortunately, I think those trusting days are over.
Maybe, staff should make point of taking their handbag with them at all times.
Alternatively, they could be allocated lockers for personal possessions.
Ignorance
The chances of getting that money back is slim. Hope it didnt belong to someone
Well base on d report is either another teacher or grounds man take it cuz d report say a child wit a surgical mask is they alone would jus walk in to a class so
