Former principal Hallam King sees the recent Commission Of Inquiry Into The Alexandra School as little more than the airing of dirty linen in public.
The one-time Coleridge & Parry School head actually thinks the inquiry, whose report was handed over to Governor General Sir Elliott Belgrave on Friday, was a waste of time.
In an interview with the SUNDAY SUN, the controversial King, who resigned in 1996 after intense dispute with teachers and their union over remarks he made at two speech day ceremonies, said the inquiry blew Alexandra principal Jeff Broomes’ remarks at last year’s speech day out of proportion.
“The inquiry was far worse than what happened at the speech day [December 2, 2011]. The speech day, even though it was described as ‘the last straw’, was a small disturbance compared to the inquiry which is blowing everything up for the whole nation, the Caribbean and all who come to Barbados,” he said.
