JC: 'No apology'

[Rockman]

You can have bona fide students that are not of accademic minimum standard,they achieved that privilege by satisfying the accademic requirements to enter,not so with some of the athletes that were alluded to by your coach.They came in under completely different
requirements hence the need to get them up to par.

[Don1]

Listen yute you're a total ignoramus.. now trying hard to backtrack. This is foolish & twisted nonsense that you're spouting having misread a newspaper article.

I'm losing patience with your stupidity not to mention your inability to express your foolish ideas clearly

[Rockman]

"As long as that young man is prepared to abide by the school's regulations and he is given the requisite support. Some might not be as academically strong as others, but we have programmes in place to ensure that they are brought up to speed to attain at least a minimum level of achievement and we make no apology for doing so," said Forbes, who is the managing director of Sherwin Williams Limited.

[Don1]

This is the danger posed by having a "little knowledge". A common problem of logic that many fall for in trying to make conclusions

The little knowledge you have is based 100% on that quote. Then you foolishly believe that snippet confers you with expertise on the subject.. enough to make some conclusion. Your conclusion is both illogical and incorrect

The school has a minimum entry requirement that students must have UPON entry. Thereafter the school has minimum TARGETS that ALL are EXPECTED to meet..For some that takes special programs. The academic target is currently this...

Jamaica College gathered on November 03, 2014, to acknowledge and celebrate with the members of the Honour Society. These are students who have attained above eighty percent (80%) in all their tests and exams.

Senator Reid declared that Jamaica College was now poised to graduate every JC student to pass all their subjects. The question, he said, was how many would get distinctions. He contended that with the target at 70 percent, they can all do it because they have that ability.

Now Rocky I'm plain tired of trying deal with your illogical assumptions and confused way of expression.

Better if you leave this subject alone.. it bigga dan yuh

[Rockman]

This little info is from the horse's mouth,Forbes is the manager of JC.It matters not the quantity of athletes that are below the slated minimum,we know some are hence...
Why quote Senator Reid's mere assertion,maybe you wanted it to have more weight than due.
If you are saying the accepted standard is even lower than the mere minimum alluded to then it shows how standards are relaxed in order to facilitate the snatched up atletes and how little accademics figure into the acquisition. ...
One little discussion and you are getting riled up,Big man.

[Don1]

More rubbish

Rocky considering your inability to interpret information sensibly & your susceptibility to logical fallacies in argument it seems all is not right with you upstairs

Sort out dem ting dere before yuh jump inna big man argument cause yuh nuh ready fi dat yet

Mi dun wid dis

[Karl]

Yuh dun kno I am with JC!

Others must improve their teaching of football and of all other disciplines. ...and being schools provide the environment for development of full potential!!!

FORWARD!

[Rockman]

Speaking things into existence,good luck trying that.
Obtw,I found nothing in the 169 page education report that is specific or worthwhile to the academic achievements of transfer students.Please point me exactly where in the report there are stats that have to do with transfer athletes.

[Rockman]

Okay,I am willing to do a beginners course in English comprehension but I have to first rule out that you have a hidden agenda in making that suggestion.Will you please copy and paste the part of the education report that has to do with transfer athletes?
That would settle things,but you can't,or can you?

[Don1]

It's strange how you seem to be the only person who doesn't understand what I posted. No one else seems confused but you. Anyhow consider this:

1. I never claimed the Ministry document addressed athletes..it does not. I stated from the outset that the extracts from the Ministry doc I posted were overall CSEC outcomes for certain key subjects...with boys' results also extracted
.
What addressed athletes was my statistical model.... not the MOE doc

2. When you brought up the transfer students issue I reposted the extract from my statistical model which showed ... HOW data from student-athletes' exam results (including those transferred) COULD be captured and also compared with national CSEC results.
Such data could help settle the issue and rein in the useless and sometimes idiotic yappin on this subject

Das all ... Now go in peace pls

[Karl]

What is Common Entrance?
Nuh wan big recruiting tool?

...and what is transfer of students with 'necessary academic standing'?
Nuh more narrow recruiting?

Well what is the parallel recruiting targeted to students with exceptional athletic ability?
Just another area where targeted recruitment is used! occurs.

Not to be confused with there being no stats to support athletes performances at 'academics' is either worse than rest of the student population or that athletes are being solely exploited for use of winning athletic trophies for schools and there is no attention to the athletes academic welfare!!!!
