"A side bar issue" as the yanks tend to say Ol. Just read some of Mo Farrah's bio and he makes mention of the respect he had for the elders in the madrassas including the big stick. Oh the good old days on Union Road eh?
It is ridiculous because the elders have only one intention, and that is definitely not to support the school, but to support the boys involved by invoking the religious card.
It should be the parents or guardians only.
