Teacher Hon Fraser? Students @ the ETPS love him!
However, Third District Representative and Leader of the Opposition Hon Julian Fraser RA, has become a signature at one of the many schools in his district. He made one of his regular visits to the Ebenezer Thomas Primary School (ETPS) in Sea Cows Bay on June 7, 2016.
Hon Fraser who seems to be loved by the ETPS students, who all know his name and said it in unison, was there to give some motivational and inspirational words to the First Grade students.
While not wanting to play politics with the Education system like the Minister for Education and Culture Hon Myron V. Walwyn, the longtime Third District Representative Hon Fraser said, “Teacher Iesha Forbes of the class insisted that I do it each year.”
While Hon Fraser is not the only elected official who visits the many schools in their districts, as Hons Alvera Maduro-Caines (R6), Melvin ‘Mitch’ Turnbull (R2), Andrew A. Fahie (R1) and Hon Marlon A. Penn (R8) have regularly done much of the same at their districts' schools, however, Hon Fraser and the students and staff of the ETPS have a special bond going back some 16 plus years.
In fact Hon Fraser said that, “the first grade class has composed a special song which helps them to understand our government system.” The former Government Minister and Deputy Chief Minister Hon Fraser said, “I have asked the students to provide me with the lyrics.”
Some residents wish that we had these first graders to participate in the Territorial Song competition a few years ago.
Hon Fraser had the undivided and sustained attention of all the first graders, something hard to do for most teachers. Maybe Hon Fraser is preparing for a career after politics, or because of how popular he is among the primary school students they might be sending a message to the adults in the community.
The age old adage may still be relevant as “A little child shall lead them.”
