Parents protest Mae’s school

Parent Wayne Haley speaks with reporters.

Several parents of students enrolled in Grade Five of the Mae’s Primary School staged a protest outside the school yesterday, claiming that they paid for extra lessons that were not being delivered.

According to the parents, they paid the school an extra $20,000 to have the Grade Six teachers offer their children an extra hour of “advanced teaching” each day but they are not receiving the service.

One parent, Wayne Haley, told reporters that he is upset that despite being promised that the Grade Six teachers would be teaching the students from last Monday, the classes never occurred.
