When you think of King Richard III College what is it that you think of? Well for most of us, if not to say all, we think of Ms. Alcover. Mostly, of her personalized greetings in the morning knowing each and every pupil’s name, her energetic morning line up assembly address with the children, and an advocate for the parents when we have needed it. Her dedication for 24 years at King Richards is the thread that holds it together and what has ensured the proper education of all the students at King Richards.

However, in light of recent events it has come to our attention that Ms. Alcover has been shut out of her job and duties at King Richard College. The first real public example of this was the Halloween Parade this past week. The event lacked all the enthusiasm and organization that she has been in charge of for years now. If existing parents are looking to speak to her they are redirected to Mr. Berry immediately. Her only function at the school now seems to be the meet and greet at the school entrance. All this because she was had disagreements with Mr. Berry about issues she felt were detrimental to the success of the students.

The situation we are in now will pale in comparison as to what will happen at King Richard if it continues to run without Ms. Alcover. We have also seen an influx of Spanish teachers teaching our children at he higher levels of studies and we should be focusing our attention on the British curriculum. In the end the ones that will suffer are our children emotionally and also in their studies.

We need the parents to stand together in such a precarious time and demand the return of Ms. Alcover’s involvement for King Richard and mostly for our children.
