Parent allegedly slaps phone out teacher’s hand @ Anegada school
The issue of security for the school was brought up at a community meeting held at Emile E. Dunlop Community Centre on October 2, 2022.
Present were Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley (R7), Deputy Premier and Minister for Communication and Works Honourable Kye M. Rymer (R5), Minister for Natural Resources and Labour Honourable Melvin M. Turnbull (R2), Minister for Health and Social Development Honourable Marlon A. Penn (R8) and Junior Minister for Trade and Economic Development Honourable Shereen D. Flax-Charles (AL).
Legislators were told of a number of instances where teachers were abused by parents, one most recently.
‘The school needs security’- Anegada resident
“All these years we are watching the school gates, people are just able to open and walk in. When is it going to take, maybe the beat down of a teacher or a student in the school, for us to come to the put security at that gate?” Anegada resident Mrs Sherryann George stated.
“We all know that a parent was taken to court for assaulting a teacher in that very school yet all these years later, we are able to open the gate and walk on to the school compound. Those things have to be addressed, they have to be addressed urgently. The school needs security, up to recently we heard about an incident where a parent was able to walk into the school and box down the phone of a teacher. That could have been the teacher’s life in danger,” George added.
Supporting those comments, the maintenance officer for the school said that in February of 2021, this very concern of security of the school was stressed, “It was said then and nothing was done so I am hoping that her statement this afternoon is going to make something happen. I am the maintenance guy at the school and every day the teachers have to be going by the gate. Teachers shouldn’t have to be the ones going by the gate, they are teachers, we need a security officer.”
‘It’s a struggle…’ Premier Wheatley
Premier Wheatley said it is sometimes a struggle to get persons in the public service to understand why the sisters islands need more attention and resources.
“But it is really something that we cannot continue to tolerate,” Dr Wheatley stated.

The place has fast become one of strange ill bred and ill mannered strangers with gross habits and cultures topped by readily bursts of physical and deadly violence.
The prison has long been filled to capacity with them and their progenies . Policemen are by the hundreds perhaps thousand and hails from distant lands. Schools are entombed with high fences and cement walls. Security guards are in place on site to corral the young and up coming and their parents. Education is subpar. Low income dwellings are in the works. Yes yes we are now truly one Caribbean . One chain of putrid waste.
No end in sight as we sink in the cesspool of our own choices.
A price we will be paying.
Who are these children and parents. Is the anomaly across the board ..or is it one group among the the hundreds of varied nationalities. Is the offending behaviour a known cultural phenomenon here and their rejected homelands and wherever they settle. Disobedience ( Mathew7 6) and consequences is a surety for the VI. Blessings are gifts to be cherished.
enmasse met BVIslanders with land homes cars ,zero illiteracy, the ability to travel with
little restrictions globally. In addition crime at the lowest, and a zero murder rate.
Where did you fit in that your 1980 was lacking?
Teachers do whatever they want to the kids and parents can't say anything. If they do , their chdren becomes the victim of neglect and abuse. Parents are fed up
Yooo, them "box down" the teacher phone. Bhaw ha ha ha...I needed that laugh. Who writes this sh!t man. My fellow Anegadian's cut yuh !@#* out.

and economic conditions that may cause migration, look at the US mainland, this is never going to stop.
