Chairman or Prickly Pole Primary school , Vinnette Robb Oddman was today fired by Minister Of Education Ronald Thwaites.
Thwaites said Mrs. Robb-Oddman, was fired today with immediate effect for interrupting classes to carry out a demonstration against Minister Lisa Hanna. The demonstration was overshadowed by the death of one of the students who died while running to meet a bus that was boarding passengers for the demonstration.
Oddman was said to have led the demonstration against Minister Hanna, Member of Parliament for the area. Controversy surrounds funds that were allegedly given to school for pavement that would prevent dust from getting teachers and children sick. Oddman told Nationwide News that the funds were not given to the school.Minister Thwaites noted that these actions were contrary to the “high standards of superintendence required of a school board chairman.
Fired for assembling the demonstrations on school time, on top of having the buses on school grounds to take children off the property during school (government) hours is just cause for termination. She should have done it after school or on a weekend. Public administrators know work and politics no fi mix.
If she was fired for calling out the Ministers wrong then that is unfair. I want to READ ABOUT THE LITTLE BABY GIRL FUNERAL…ENOUGH OF THESE GROWN ASSHOLES AND DEM BAD BREED POLITICS.
I heard her on Beyond the Headline with DJM yesterday. She left the Minister with no choice. She had to go. She is not suitable to hold the position of Chairman of School Board. She caused this on herself. She expressed no remorse for the child, just
Venom for the MP.
Serve her right. Pickney nuh belong in na politics. If the child was prolly 16 or older then yea. Fire her rass n mek sure she don’t get a next teaching job. Obviously she did not care about the child wellbeing
Didnt they say thats not why the child died?
I thought the child passed from an asthma attack? I apologize if i’m wrong but children have every right to protest and it is not an uncommon practice throughout the world how can anyone for see and asthma attack. should she have disturbed the learning process no it could have been organized differently however if Ms.Hanna is not fulfilling her obligations as an elected official those affected including children do have a right to object.there is no perfect political system anywhere in the world but by god Jamaica lets do a little better.
Child also had a heart condition… children can demonstrate that I dont have a problem with but dem seh a 9 ina di morning but hanna and thwaites had no right fi run to the media without sufficient information..everybody have wrong in this case..
