Jamaica Gleaner Letters
published: Monday | December 2, 2002

THE EDITOR, Sir: THE HONOURABLE Maxine Henry-Wilson, the new Minister of Education and Culture, is reported to have expressed her intention to ensure that under her watch as Minister...

A bad school practice
THE EDITOR, Sir: I WONDER if the Ministry Of Education is aware of a practice which exists in some schools, where teachers do not correct work done by students but have the students exchange books and mark right or wrong on his/her instructions.


The meaning of Independence
THE EDITOR, Sir: I SUPPOSE that many who are disrespectful to members of our Jamaican communities are either unaware of the sacrifices made to create the nation, or else they have forgotten.


Errors of logic
THE EDITOR, Sir: I WRITE in response to an article which appeared on November 25, 2002 and was attributed to Lynford Simpson, Parliamentary Reporter.


Earl Wright gave much of himself
THE EDITOR, Sir: IT IS with extreme sadness that I read of the brutal murder of one of my Earth Science colleagues, Mr Earl Wright. Like myself he was also a past president of the Geological Society of Jamaica and gave much of himself.


Old demagogues and young people
THE EDITOR, Sir: THE RELUCTANCE of the respective island cricket boards to select younger players to lead is the prevailing attitude of the leaders of the Caribbean.


Blackness and violence
THE EDITOR, Sir: IT IS unfortunate that you chose as headline for a letter on Tuesday, November 26, the odious line, "Black on Black Killings".
