Development? How? - Cadine Graham

[Karl]

you really think we should be talking about educational development right now????

The same effort put in sports is the same effort put in Education. Forget Football and Education and talk bout "development" for a minute.

You are on to something, Sass.
It seem to be that in our systems academic development and sports development have our "best minds" (God help us!) thinking it is either one or the other!!!

One would think it would have dawned on those our "best minds" that there is something called division of labour and thus the country can and should be made to 'walk and whistle' at the same time.

"Sass: You do know that even our math departments are poorly run...and need properly trained teacher/managers? "

Just look at the CXC or whatever they call it now results.

Did you answer any of the question, except "Do you know there are traditional high schools in Jamaica who have coaches who are not paid????"

Is this a foundation you can build on??

Simple the budget of most of these schools don't give them the opportunity to have a longer soccer program without cancelling some other well needed program.

Let me put it this way: - Does the math department impact the science department?

The answer is, of course!

Why then would you think the football program would not impact the T&F program?

LOL. This breddah truly is something else.

I answered all your questions.
...and that 'money' excuse is lame.

All you need is training/teaching of the teachers/coaches....to properly teach the game!!!
