Lynch parents: Not our children!

Funny Barbados News BlogSOME LOUIS LYNCH Secondary students will not be going to school today.They may not be going tomorrow or Wednesday, or for the rest of the week either.
After a two-hour Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) meeting at the Barbados Secondary Teachers' Union headquarters in Belleville, St Michael, yesterday evening, parents were adamant they could ill-afford to jeopardise their children's health any longer, not with everything they had experienced at the school.
They suggested that the school be closed now, since there were only three weeks left until the end of the term, and the Ministry of Education should transfer the students. Source: www.nationnews.com
De parents very right... we dealing with people's health here. I mean they are pratically saying, "We advise you to go to the school which is possibly unhealthy, and uhh... we'll see if any one dies and umm... yea.. if at the very least, someone's lungs actually rots away and they cough out their spleen, then we wil act".
Of course if the Minister's daughter came home spitting blood and sniffling, the kid would be kept at home. Not because of the nasty school evironment, but to make sure everyone doesn't think the kid is using the wacky tabacky... it would just be embarassing. Imagine you telling your kid to stay away from drugs, and then sending them to school to inhale toxins... Some progressive kid gine soon start bottling the louis lynch air and selling it as a chalice for $5 a wiff. Ahh yes.. the good stuff, the high grade louis lynch haze. That's when the police will step in... not caring about anybody's health, but just don't want little entrepreneur to get thru. They will probably then take it and sell it under licence to some big boys who might want to incorporate it into a cigarette. I din sending my chile no where! People can go back to school at 60... what's the point of 8 CXCs if you breathing through a tube?
