#BTEditorial - Let’s rid our schools of that violent element - Barbados Today

Last week we had the unfortunate and grim task of reporting on a stabbing incident at the Parkinson Secondary School. Contrary to popular belief, the media, takes no pleasure in having to present these types of details to you. Reality is that the incident not only affected those physically involved, but the entire student body, the school and their relatives as well. These violent acts are not isolated and therefore the impact is great.It was in October that an altercation between two male students took place just miles away at the Samuel Jackman Prescod Institute of Technology (SJPI). That incident left one of them with stab wounds to his abdomen and neck.We recall that in our October 14, 2022 Editorial headlined: “Authorities must get ahead of school violence” we urged parents, education and law enforcement authorities to be more proactive and less reactive.We reminded all concerned that on November 8, 2019, when a stabbing death at the Frederick Smith Secondary School was reported. Two students, a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old, were involved in a fight. The 16-year-old, Temario Holder of Checker Hall, St Lucy, died on the spot.
