EDITORIAL - Kicking Hyde
Published: Saturday | October 11, 2014 0 Comments
Dave Myrie, the principal of Kingston College (KC), owes parents and students who attend that high school, and the wider Jamaica, an explanation of his vision for the institution, including how and where academic performance and prowess sports rank among his priorities.
We raise this matter in the face of this week's dramatic and abrupt firing of the school's football coach, Lenworth Hyde, and in the context of a deepening concern among Jamaicans about the performance of the island's educational institutions and a sense that some sports achievements appear to be of a higher order of rank than education outcomes. We do not claim this to be the case at KC.
