Word out of Montego Bay is that there was a stabbing incident involving schoolgirls. We have not had any confirmation from the police about this matter. We do not know if any of the girls has died. If you were on the scene when this happened and/or you attended school with these girls, then contact Bark Di Trute by WhatsApp at 876 816-5261.
I am convinced that the only time we will get violence out of the schools is when parents are made accountable for the behaviour of their children. It is time that every child has a registered mother and father on their birth record.
Young criminals must be removed from our schools, and they should be treated as criminals. They should not be readmitted to a normal school until they have gone through a thorough socialization process and they no longer display such violent behaviour.
We should reintroduce caning. The fear of caning, while not a long-term solution it could immediately cauterize these antisocial behaviours.
When will we have some action rather than just hear some feel-good speeches?

Reintroduce Corporal Punishment-Agreed 100%. However, not abuse as was the case in some schools in the 60's. We are all more disciplined today because of the just Spanking we received for misbehaviour- Don't spare the rod and spoil the child..Proverbs 22:15
ReplyDeleteWe spanked our 2 kids probably no more than 3 times during their entire childhood. What they got more of was discipline and a whole lot of love. We were involved partners in their upbringing. Now, they're very focused, self-directed and well-mannered young adults. I would advocate more for love, reassurance, and discipline. Many children don't have that, let alone the balanced perspective of both a mother and father in their lives, to give them the guidance and direction they need to thrive. When you add to that the strain that some may experience from being raised on a single-parent income (especially in these harsh economic times), our kids are being deprived of a lot, and I'm not referring to material things per say (our kids did not get a lot of things their friends could afford, but at least their basic needs were met).
DeleteUnless and until we recognize that the Jamaican family is in crisis, we will be pained to turn things around. A national intervention strategy is urgently needed NOW to address this problem.
