Schools do without government aid for repairs

Avert math crisis

With a recent flash flood watch issued for low-lying and flood-prone areas of St Thomas, Kingston, St Andrew, St Catherine, Clarendon, and Manchester, do you think enough is done to prepare for the annual hurricane season?

That's a very serious warning for the island. We can't advance without mathematics. The govern-ment needs to hire more math teachers, set up a website to help school-children with their math homework.

That $100 million would have come in so handy right now. Leaders' priorities are to be questioned: party vs education of the country's youth?

Past students at all institutions don't know how to give back. [It's] such a shame in more ways than one.

I'm not sure what it is a lack of, but something is always lacking. Drains are not cleaned, etc. Definitely not fully prepared.

I don't think we are ever prepared for a storm or hurricane in Jamaica, so no. Perhaps lack of funds.

@MaestroPetrie

I could say much about what leaders are not doing, but as citizens, we don't do much to care for our environment either.
