Minister of Homeland Security Roger Alexander yesterday urged parents and their children to enter the new school term with a renewed sense of purpose to make the most of their education.
Speaking with Guardian Media after attending an inter-faith service commemorating the St Augustine Secondary School’s 50th anniversary, Alexander said parents had a responsibility to take control of their children even before they entered school by instilling discipline.
He stressed that parents of wayward children should remember that schools were not daycare centres for children, as they too should step up and do their part in quelling anti-social behaviour from home.
