It was very interesting to hear MP Patricia McIntosh recently admonishing Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs Anil Roberts during the debate on the Sick Children's Fund and wondering what example was being set for the children who might have been viewing the proceedings.
May I suggest that when, in spite of the daily revelations, a school principal presents herself for election on a PNM ticket, the message sent to those very children is that corruption, nepotism, squandermania and ineptitude are quite acceptable. And yet we continue to marvel at indiscipline in schools.
