St. Maarten Private Eye

So add more class rooms and fill them up again? I can tell you are not one that has children on St.Maarten. If you did. you would understand the situation.
How would you enjoy your child to be in a class room with all illegal children who are so behind in academics that the teacher has to slow down to teach them.
Your children suffer not only from a slow pace of teaching but also from the rudeness from these children who come from very backwards cultures. I am sorry to say it like this. But it is the truth.
Tell me Flipper, would you put your children in a public school on St.Maarten at the moment? or would you be searching like all the rest of the Sint Maarten population (who has to scrape the money together) to put your child/children in a private school at $800.- a pop a month.
The public schools are filled with children from other places. I was recently at a public school and I asked the children how many of their parents remember a SXM landmark.
One child raised her hand, out of a class room of 26. The others said their parents not from SXM.
Yes, it is clear that starting with Stanley Mourillon and then later with other civil servants, and from reports also Commissioners, that too many work permits were given out for a handsome price.
But, in order to fix this situation, the immigration needs to be beefed up and children have to be deported with their parents.
If you want to pay 3 times your taxes to build more schools and low income housing for illegals, please sign up to do so. But I will not join you.
Rackam, you need to get yourself on some sort of a immigration commitee, your assesment is correct. too long we rewarding illegals.
We already had 2 grace periods. For heavens sake, people still coming to our shores today and yesterday by boat and plane looking to make fast money and we have nothing to stop them.
