In a firm tone of voice, on the radio program RAMMASSE, hosted by Jean Monard Metellus on Radio Caraibes which aired live Saturday, 02 Sept 2017 in Verrettes Haiti where Senator Latortue was a panelist, Paulette let out her frustation which represents the frustration of most public school teachers in Haiti:
"As a teacher, it is a real shame the way the Haitian state (l'Etat Haitien) chooses to treat teachers in this country," Paulette said. "They treat us like crap (yo pa gade nou pou anyen)"
"With all the commotion about school kits, where is our school kit?" she said addressing to senate president Latortue and president Jovenel Moise. "By that I am not asking for a cheap note book or a cheap school bag that won't last a month. pay me the money you owe me for the years that I have been teaching!"
"We have children to send to school too. We have to take care of ourselves. Teaching is a very demanding job. My children go to the same school where I teach. I have to pay for their tuition while I myself have not been paid for years."
"Teachers can't even buy credit in the communities where they leave because our creditors already know we cannot pay they them back."
"It is not a favor that I am asking," she said to Senator Youri Latortue, "I am asking the government to give me money that is due to me. We teachers, we know what to do with money too."
