King Edwards – To Close Or Not To Close: Too Difficult A Question!

November 29, 2010

A little sleetDespite the snow, KEVIGS opened today – or did it?  Just as soon as they arrived, the kids that had shown the commitment and made the effort to get to school were told to phone parents to get them home again.

“Don’t blame us”, a teacher tells his disgruntled students.  “I don’t want to be here either.  We don’t have a plan to do anything with you.”

“If it wasn’t for Mrs xxxx and Mr xxxx, I’d still be in bed”, says another.

Angry parents have been emailing this site, but how many have made their feeling known to the school?

To respond to some of your points:-

Yes, I too would have expected teachers to show the dedication and commitment to get to school.  Yes, I would have expected them to have a plan to provide some learning opportunities for the kids that made the effort.  Yes, I agree it does set a very poor example and yes, the dithering and lack of clarity is disrespectful of parents and does demonstrate poor leadership and management skills.

Any other comments?
