I have always been taught every story has two sides and this story certainly has! A pity all these letters to the editor and ads paid for by those associated with the school are not full of facts.I read their articles with shock. Why? Because these people are supposed to be the professionals and the well educated of our society but they have done nothing to prove that they are, and they continue to disappoint.
Why are they bleating constantly about their approvals not being signed? And why are they wrongly complaining that their children are not being schooled? Quite simply put, if they had done their due diligence and followed the laws by filing their applications before building, they would have found out about the push-back they are now experiencing long before building and spending loads of money.
They are complaining about their young children not being schooled, but because of their mishandling of this whole affair, the children are scattered around town. They are being schooled, nevertheless!I applaud the chairman of the DMRC and the CEO for standing strong and doing their job! The people of DMRC have been amazing on so many levels.
Why are the directors so persistent in coming into a community where, it seems, they are so not wanted? The school at 129 Long Circular Road has its playground on Champs Elysees, immediately to the back of many residents' homes. Would you want 200-plus screaming children outside your house? I think not.
We have many schools in Maraval, we do not need another, certainly not on our residential streets! We have had enough loss of residential properties to the intrusion of commercialisation.
