There is no such thing as Jamaican English, there, however, is American English.
Perhaps some of our ites should make a case for Americans to speak the Queen's English, some would probably forced the American version on Jakans, that would be consistent with the line of reasoning.
That aside, hail Peter R.

We can continue the debate about whether it should formally be used in school or not, but the other debate seems closed to me.

But if we can't understand it can you imagine a grade six student who can't pass common entrance?
How is it going to be taught? We also have Rasta English and Jamaican English as well are they going to be taught too?- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.
