This generation is a loss cause, no amount of school activities like football or whatever stupid plans this government have is going to change anything, these children or kids as you all want to call them belong to the Americans now, they may be physically here in Barbados but they long to be like the American “kids”, doing whatever they want,

Isn’t this the same school that a female student assaulted a female teacher a while back?
Yup, we have given the children all the rights and the teachers have none. Thank you Ronald and all the other clowns. There was a time when random searches could be made of children’s bags etc., now you need to call in calvary and the whole host of angels before you can even say good morning to the students
Additionally, the UNions have been fighting to get meaningful dialogue with the relevant stakeholders to address these types of matter and what does to public do when the teachers get fed up and down tools – cuss them? Cuss them for the same children to hear and then go back to school and disrespect the teacher. There is a vicious cycle of disrespect and lack of tolerance in this country. But I believe the bulk of them hungry and a hungry man is an angry man

“This generation is a lost cause .”
The generation that begat them is lost too. Mostly single parent, they have failed to chastise the children
My child I cant control he. Your hear mothers stating . When you check , the child is three years old. And this foolishness continues right through the child’s upbringing. The only problem we have in Barbados is that people are doing things contrary to rules and contrary to Law and getting away with what they are doing
No Punishment.
This goes from the 3 year old to the 13 year old and on an on.

My heart breaks for my beloved Barbados. I wish the young man a speedy recovery, but this incident is symptomatic of a much larger social problem. We all need to take responsibility for the place we are in now and try to guide the young people we interact with to turn this situation around.

The sad situation is that our leaders are doing sod all to combat this scourge of violence among school children. Why is it that we do not hear of any violence coming from those privately owned schools?
But I suppose that the children do not belong to the government. They are yours. You have to manage them.

I don’t know out of gossip or warfare which one I would rather read bout. Gossip dangerous but warfare deadly. This is heart-wrenching. Can’t believe this happened among our children…I’m totally lost for words at this type of hostility towards your schoolmate

Where is the famous child advocate who is always bashing teachers ? Well want to hear from you.
Metal detectors are needed like yesterday. Might not find all the weapons but might save some lives. One clown might take up the father , brother or uncle’s gun and go to school and wreak havoc. Remember, guns seem to be a household item in some communities.
