I notice that on this board most cannot grasp the difference between a general trend and an isolated example.
If someone says, "Wolves are generally more dangerous than domesticated dogs" , someone will counter with, "Well dat a nuh true because my Aunty down a Spanish Town did have a dawg inna her backyard dat did bad lakka any wolf!"
If someone says, "The command of the English language among inner city residents is generally worse than it is in the affluent suburbs of St Andrew" someone will counter with, "No sah, me know a girl down a Tivarli who can talk better dan Portia"
It used to frustrate me to no end but I have come to realize that good school, bad school, or no school, that is just the way it is.
Lord help us.
