This minister has an agenda, and it’s not Muscat’s.

The bone of contention the MFSA. And it’s not just personal, one’s a Marxist, the other a go-getter.

Qabza ohra fil-kwalita! Hawn min jaqbez b’lura.

Now it’s open to all and available in all government schools. Just for comparison’s sake a private summer school would cost that much for possibly 2 days and not a whole summer.

It used to work well when it was much smaller and more manageable. Having a nominal fee eg €150 for the summer would still be reasonable but would put off those parents sending their kids if they do not need to.

“There is no need to complain any more, a commuter tells me. Even though the bus system is not good, it’s okay. Sweat trickled down the 60-year-old man’s brow and he fanned himself with Bargain magazine; as he sits in the crowded bus, he says: “At least we got rid of l-Ingliżi.” … “At least now things are “tagħna f’tagħna” (in our own hands).”

The whole “us vs foreigners” mentality advocated by Joseph Muscat – as evident in popular commentary on the Dalli case – permeates to all strata of society and issues. The fixation with defending the natives and fending off ‘il-barrani’ is coming back to bite us in the arse every day.

More standards are going out the window by the day. People seriously need to grow up and move on from their limited parochial line of thought.

Isn’t it in the interest for the schools to have parents mob. numbers in case of an emergency?

‘..Speaking to journalists, the minister said that he cannot work with people who tell him that everything is fine, only to find out later that problems have not been resolved…’

What a sneak.

The more they try the worse it gets because the concept is wrong from the start.

First we promise then we think how we can do it. Not the other way round. With the obvious repercussions.

Till now they have been on auto pilot or reaping what the previous administration was doing. Now we start reaping Labour policy.

It’s important to point out that Skolasajf has been running successfully for many years with no hassle at all.

Naqbel miegħek perfettament. U mhux il-ġenituri biss, kollha kemm aħna…. hemm xi ħadd li ma ntmessx bl-iggvernar dilettantesk ta’ dan il-gvern?

Jiddispjaċina għal dawn in-nies, imma fl-istess ħin donnu li qalbi saret “immune” kif jgħidu bl-Ingliż, b’mod speċjali jekk dawn huma dawk l-istess nies li vvutaw PL fl-aħħar elezzjoni biex ikollna bidla, mingħalihom. Allura jkolli ngħid, ħallihom, qed iduqu ftit mill-porga li qed idewwaq lilna dan il-gvern. Forsi fl-aħħar jiftħu għajnejhom!
