Letter of the Day - English our second language
The Editor, Sir: Just challenging those who keep harping on the fact that our Jamaican Patois is difficult to read, and those others wringing their hands over the high illiteracy statistics.
Children live what they learn
The Editor, Sir: I WRITE to you with a lot of grief in my heart for our Jamaican children. We have created a society which is no longer cognisant of the fact that they are powerful beings. Instead, the focus is on showing what you can be now that you have the opportunity to.

The Editor, Sir: I would like to add my voice to those individuals who are against the government's intention to extend the time police can detain an individual pending investigation.
Train youth for peacekeeping
The Editor, Sir: As the crime problem continues, the debate continues as to just what measures we need to implement to contain this national challenge.
