]]> Comment on Chief minister will stand again by Neil http://www.thisisguernsey.com/news/2012/02/03/chief-minister-will-stand-again/#comment-121095 Neil Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:37:54 +0000 http://www.thisisguernsey.com/?p=87782#comment-121095 Gary Isn't that one of the beauties of our system of government. No party positions (save for a few of the usual suspects)? For example I could support you to the death on subject 1 yet disagree with you on subject 2. If you look at the UK they seem that they establish party positions and are obliged to disagree with the opposition and pick fault with every policy possible. At least our system engenders a certain amount of pragmatism which itself leads to consistency and stability. And there's not a lot wrong with stability. Here on this forum I've seen shock-of-shocks DJ and Barry B actually agreeing with each other and they appear to be two people that come from, not necessarily the opposite but certainly separate sides of the political spectrum. There's nowt wrong, in my view, of working together in some areas in a pragmatic sensible way. Gary

As we've already seen in multiple threads Education is responsible for hiring policy - that includes CoFE.

If they apply and get a fifteen year license and then leave the Board of Directors should be exempt from applying for another license for anyone until the fifteen years are up. Why should they mock our laws like this and get away with it. If Mr Carr is one of those responsible for improving literacy and math skills at the COFE the Board of Education should apply for a license extension and move him to one of the ' under performing ' schools, he can obviously do the job they can't. They were moaning about not being able to get staff. Good luck to the Carr family, maybe your husband should train for a finance position, he would have no trouble then. One rule for one.........

Another opportunity for Flybe to blow their over inflated trumpet. Do we need 3 airlines on this route? No doubt if it is rejected, Mr Taylor will be pontificating in the media about how Flybe have been discriminated against and how they could run our airport better than any other body on the planet. I personally support Aurigny. I am a regular traveller between islands and I know that Aurigny try and get you home and when the fog lifts the aircraft are only ever 15 minutes away. The staff are always helpful and will do everything they can to help. My experience of Flybe however is almost diametrically opposite. They set thier customer service sights low and usually fail to achieve them. To be called a "liar" by the customer services agent at Southampton airport during an orderly but firm discussion took the biscuit. I would prefer to spend money supporting our own airline than use Flybe. Please Mr Taylor, no half baked drivel again...please. Here we go again.

Whilst I appreciate you have freedom of speech, you will be able to leave with your head held high, and with dignity. You will leave behind a beautiful island, which will be damaged by the rantings of many of the posters on this board, who cannot help themselves commenting on either your story, or any of the others on this site. As a local who cannot afford to return to the island, it makes me not want to bother when you have these sort of monkeys running and living on the island, a fair deal of whom regularly comment in these forums. Good Luck. Helen, I would urge you not to respond to the people that are against you on this forum.

The 14-19 curriculum means that many Lecturers are teaching School Kids. It's a generalisation, but a FE lecturer is usually a specialist in their subject and has real-world industry experience to back this up. We're all teachers at the end of the day, just with different qualifications. Lecturer, tutor has a different meaning in FE usually entailing additional responsibilities.
