It's PSE, CXC and CAPE season in Belize! Let's pray that the results for English PSE are better than last year's. It is pathetic to see how many children cannot read in Standard 3. It is even borderline scary! I have been reading since Kinder, and in Infant I at Belize Elementary School, my teacher, Ms Lovell, dedicated every morning to reading lessons before the school bell rang at 8:00. At the time I hated it, but now, I'm thankful! I'm now in Junior College, and people still can't read English properly! Schools need to re-prioritize and only hire qualified teachers!
Government, please reinstate a Teachers' College! We need good teachers molding the minds of the children who will take over this country one day, and frankly, they need to be able to write a proper sentence. It is evident in the schools and local media that Grammar is not taken seriously.
Here's an assignment! Listen to the radio or local TV channels and point out all of the grammatical mistakes made. It will amaze you!
