The Editor, Sir:

I am having difficulty getting my eight year old to learn her time-tables. I have even purchased musical CDs with the timetables but the music is 'foreign' to her. She knows most of the popular Jamaican hit songs word for word without any effort. I do not even know some of the songs myself!

If our Jamaican artistes are so concerned about the youth, can any artiste take on the initiative to put the timetables and conversion factors to music ... reggae music. This would be a hit for parents ... even the most conservative among us.

I am, etc.,
