Dear editor,
It is with disgust I read of the expulsion of a student at Mae’e school because of the use of a cell phone.
No education ministry in any democratic country would allow this to happen. That the Ministry of Education allows this is gross disrespect to the people of Guyana and total incompetence on the part of the Minister.
I want to tell of an experience I had with a private school many years ago. In 1994, after I re-migrated to Guyana, I made an application for my son to be admitted that school. At that time the child was about nine years old. He was given a test and despite the fact that he knew little English, he got a mark of 55 percent. I was told that the child was hopeless.
My son went to St Winifred Primary, secured a place at St. Stanislaus College and went on to University.
I am writing this at 5:38 pm, Sunday May10th, 2009. I just came back from a graduation ceremony. My “hopeless” son has just graduated from the C. W. Post of Long Island University with a Master’s of Science degree in Medical Biology.
So much for that private school.
