The Strong shall help The Weak:The Gospel ascordin to Ronnie

The argument is, why should any of these schools have a 6th form? Why not just give them a community college among themselves?

It is a valid question. 6th forms are a very inefficient model in many rural schools. Back in my days it was not unusual to have some 6th form subject classes with 3-4 students at my school. On my last visit there I noticed that there were a lot more people in 6th form so it wasn't so bad but I would think there are many schools not too different from that. The other problem we sometimes had was that for A level subjects like Physics and Economics sometimes there would be no teacher for a month or two.

This is where I would love to see communications technology being used to address some of these problems. It shouldn't take a lot to put CSEC and CAPE video tutorials online would it, or are they already there? Then schools could access them whether as a supplement or as an alternative for having a full time teacher.

You have a set standard. those above pass, those below fail.

Reality of life that politically correct words cant change!

Now for a politician, they DO have to be more politically sensitive, but for us here, it is better to call a spade a spade.

StGC and Alpha did this at 6th form way back in the late 1970s.

Dr. Orville Taylor did 8 level Art there and nuff ladies took A Level Physics at StGC.

In my day, the skool gospel was (sung to the tune of glory, glory, alleluiah):

Mine eyes have the glory of the burning of the skool
We have conquered all the teachers
We have broken all the rules
We plan to hang the Principal tomorrow afternoon
Da - skool - is - burning - down.
Glory, Glory, Alleluiah
