Koor Onderwyser Moet Afgedank Word

Dit gons onder die seuns hoe hul uitgeskel, gevloek en verskree was Donderdagaand by kooroefening.

'n Ouer sê, "So laat ek nie op my kind skree nie! Nou haal ons hom uit Grey uit en gaan koerante toe! My seun was in 'n toestand na koor!"

Almal het hul buitemuurse klasse gereel volgens die ou koortye, dus was hul paar minute laat vir koor, wat nog in aanmeldtyd was, om so sleg behandel te word. Die ou koortye 18:30 tot 20:30 was eintlik beter as die nuwe koortye vertel die seuns en hul ouers en die kak dat hul 10 minute voor die tyd by koor moet wees om aan te meld is ook onregverdig. Baie moet reeds 5 na 10 minute vroëer verskoon word by noodsaaklike buitemuurse klasse om op tyd by koor te wees, nie 10 minute vroëer nie.

Die seuns wil graag in die koor wees, maar nou word dit so onaangenaam met te veel voorwaardes  en drama dat ouers gaan begin aksie neem. Beheerraad hier kom ons nou weer met ons klagtes.

Gee sommer ook dadelik vir Dafel die trekpas en skuif die koortye terug na waar dit was of koor moet vroeg in die middae wees!

New High School Choir Time Sucks

It's probably the useless head-master, Scheepers, who came up with the brilliant non-practical 2019 choir times or gave permission for it. It clashes with so many things. When is chicken-head going to get it in his head that all extra murals should end 5 or 6 o'clock in the evening and not 8 or 9 o'clock!

It should be a matter of, you can either play rugby (do sport) or you can sing in the choir, but you can't do both because they are at the same time in the afternoon. Grey is big enough for that.

All extra mural classes should take place during the afternoons. It's understandable if an extra math or science class is presented in the evening, but these should all take place only on one evening, although the quality of schooling should be so high that no extra classes are needed. Parents and boys are so busy with school-related activities, they can't ever watch TV, change their mind, have a family meal together or dream a little during school terms.

Things are not much better at the primary school. Parents talk about the fact that they thought Jurie Geldenhuys was going to be a better headmaster at the primary school by seeing to it that academics come first (the ultimate reason a boy is at school), but instead, he is worse: everything is sport, sport, sport and the whites are boosted all the time like in the high school. A primary school child shouldn't be at school after 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

When is school at Grey going to be school again?

Congratulations Independent Extra-Class Educators!

All the independent extra-class teachers, congratulations for your wonderful teaching ability and fantastic matric results! All the boys that got distinctions this year attended extra evening, afternoon and even weekend classes outside the school, even Rocco, because, as we all know by now, the teachers at Grey are truly pathetic and can take no credit for the boys that got distinctions. The matrics who couldn't afford or didn't attend extra classes from independent educators, did not get any distinctions.

"We have to go back to school next week, to start the new school year 2019, knowing that our parents pay school fees for sport and sweat blood to pay for the additional extra classes to ensure that we are actually schooled. Everything is already a battle in South Africa, but this is loaded on top of that." —A high school boy.

At Grey, the boys learn to party on and off the school grounds, but don't acquire an education at Grey. When is someone going to do something about this?
