Comment: The behaviour at the school is very demeaning, children need to act as children and not as big women and men. The Sandy Point High School was a very productive school and now it is going down the drain children need to concentrate on their education instead of man and cell phones. People must not blame the Headmistress she alone can't work, the teachers must assist and the children need to cooperate instead of reacting negatively. Parents are also to blame if their children has a problem at the school instead of listening to the situation they start cursing out the teachers so how can the children be better. The School need Jesus otherwise this kind of behaviour will continue and get worst. Children show respect, teachers do the same. Parents are to take the blame bring up your children in the way the Lord will want them to go and not how you want.

Comment: These Trinidadian stories need to be placed under their own heading or link. I don't understand the logic of placing Trinidad news in the same section as ST.Kitts and Nevis. It is rather frustrating to open stories thinking they are about my country then to find out they totally do not concern me.

Comment: I have not gathered from this article exactly why the student had to assault the teacher...I don't think anyone in their right mind will assault unless there is reason to do so..."if u ain't touch me me ain't gun touch u" This said, students are always given the harsher end of the stick and the true/real reason for retaliation is not spelled out...I have come across too many situations where teachers label students as "ar u" when it is only one or two students are in the wrong and the wrong ones are not dealt with individually but because one does wrong the whole is chastised...that is wrong and what will become of the "good" children....

Comment: It took a physical altercation to bring Mr. Welcome to the SPHS. Last year when a teacher of the said school were disrespected by both parent and child Mr. Welcome and the incompetent head mistresses should of step their feet down, this sad incident would not have happened with Mrs. Clarke. Great Teachers are resigning because they do not get the support of Ms. Williams when Parents come on to the school premises and teachers home to physical abuse them, Ms. Williams cannot order the parent off the premises like she is afraid of the parent. Instead she telling teachers to write report and send to Ministry when the incident could and should of handle with a call to the police station. Other teachers are facing the same challenges with parents and child disrespect and it seems as if the head mistress is intimidated to disciplin both concern because of politics. If we don't get these corrupted teachers out of the schools a lot of these sad situations that we are facing today could be eradicated. Concerned Teacher

Comment: great jod mr b

Comment: I could clearly remember my days being a student at that school. Manners and behaviour was highly recommended by the No 1 head master none other than Mr. Vincnt Hodge. If students attend clubs and dance there Mr Hodge would be gathering them and sending them home. I am so ashamed of this type of behaviour today. I share the same view as Mr Welcome, they should be put out of school. I pray for the teachers for they play a very vital role in the education of our children and if they are faced with this behaviour daily then I am afraid of what the future would bring to this shool. There surely would not reap scholastic perseverance harvest success! but face there future behind prison's bar.

Comment: only nine months he getting?? this is rediculous ....

Comment: What happened at the S.P.H.S isn't really a shocker! Ever since the school's been under the leadership of Miss Lorrozine Williams, everything has gone bad! She needs to step down and let someone else take over. I'm not giving the students the right to behave in the manner they do, but I was a student there too, n some of the teachers there don't have any manners and respect for the students. People must understand that for every action there's a re-action! Treat ppl like you'd want them to treat you! Lorrozine is too full of herself n likes to take advantage of her present position as principal of the high school! This is the voice of a past student! I'm not tryin to down talk anyone, am just sayin it as it is!

Comment: why day wait till now to talk about parking when they know that for a long time the stadium was to be built there. Stop the crying, shut up and enjoy.

Comment: Having been in the field of teaching for a number of years I have experienced first hand of how students behave in the classroom. It is sad that this is where we are now with our young kids today.Many students have no sense of direction and definitely the absence of morals and discipline. What has happened to children and parent relationship? Teacher and parents relationship? Teacher, student and parents relationship? I do hope that it gets no worse than it is and students come to the realization that they do need guidance,they need God and to try and be a bit more respectful.To teachers I advise exercise patience and tolerance in the classroom.We can still make a difference.
