<span style="font-style: italic">ah mussi daht them was thinking why mi get crickets...</span>

well them ask mi to explain ahn mi try mi best...mi nu think mi was effective...not that mi care what them think about what mi have to say....

The way mi seet is this...
The pikney them weh mi teach abuse the educational system (so much as it is) cah them know seh them <span style="text-decoration: underline">must</span> get it. Now who the must is open to debate, IMO. That must can be the law, societal mandate, etc and the pikney know that no matter what them do or not do in the case of di ex-bakrah them will di deh same way.

Now to answer Richard, mi agree that how a person is raised may play a role. Like for instance when mi was growing, my parents mek mi know that the only ting I was entilted to in life was death. So mi could go a school ahn nu study mi lesson cah although di teacher may inquire (both in Ja and then later in the US) about mi whereabouts....that is where the concern would stop. ILP parents mek she know that as far as them was concerned I could stay home ah sweep out di yaad if mi want to go school go waste people time. &lt;--in other words, education was not entitled to it. So what did I do? Mi gladly get up ah mawnin time, of course making sure that mi press mi uniform from di night before...ahn fine miself at the school door before the first bell ring.

That mek any sense to oonu

Yes i understand what you are saying ILP. Education is mandated and enforced in the US for all youth through about age 16(?) so they know they have to go even though they may not want to go. In other countries, eg China, Jamaica, education is not mandated and enforced so those who have the privilege, the parents do want the kids to go and the kids know what the other options are.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: RichD</div><div class="ubbcode-body">i not buying that at all


so why certain segments of society who have the same entitlement value the education?

its all about what they taught at home </div></div>

I agree with this. In Jamaica, we lived next door to the this little boy that would fight wid him mother almost every morning cause him never want to go to school. Some mornings she would be late for work and give up and leave him at home.

Was it that the parents never &quot;value&quot; education? Emotional issues in the home that were causing the little boy to act out? boy having trouble in school because of learning disability that was never diagnosed?

me nuh know. but sometimes what seem simple on the surface, when u look deeper there's a lot of other issues.

Mi nuh too, too gree wid dat for mi nuh tink dat di pickney dem a merican high school kno bout di &quot;entitlement&quot; of educayshan to di pint whe dem &quot;abuse&quot; it. Nuff a dem fraid fi get expel suh annuh di majoriteee kack up dem foot an nuh care IMO. Nuff a we cuzz'n dem whe guh college pan freeniss kack up dem foot and nuff buckle dung. It deppen pan how dem was bred.

Annuh merca wan education free. Di whole a Skyandanhavia an moyse a yoorup gi whe even college/university educayshan an dem nuh tink like some a dese kids wen it comes tuh learning.

Again, environment/home training plays a very significant role in dis. Mi guh a school a merca an mi neva tink fi wan sec dat a freeniss whe mi entiekle tuh suh mi muss tek it fi grantid. A di household whe mi grow up inna teach mi fi be grateful an responsible.
