HIGH FLYER/ HIGH ACHIEVER

Three things that I pulled from this article that remind me of High Flyer Tutoring Service (HFT).

1. The positive impact a small class size has on learning. That is why we stress one-on-one or small group tutorial. The Jamaican classrooms are woefully overcrowded. "Statistics contained in the 2011 United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) revealed that the country's pupil-teacher ratio was 27.7 to 1."
I really do not think this is correct I see so many 30 odd, 40 odd and even as much as 50 odd students in one class.

2. No pre-selection is done. Come as you are; we will help you grow and achieve your greatest potentials. Unlike the 50 most sought after schools in Jamaica, that obtain pre-selected pupils, this school does not. Therefore, you have young ladies of various academic levels. Once you have the right learning environment any child as long as he or she is willing ,can flourish.

3. HIGH FLYER definition HIGH ACHIEVER

Unemployed Teachers

I am tired of hearing about the myriad of teachers who can't find jobs. The modus operandi ofteachers must change to fit the global economy.  The government need about 50 more schools inorder to employ more teachers and assist with the overcrowding in schools.They do not have the money to build these schools. Therefore we have to look around and create opportunites. http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20120224/letters/letters3.html

"Grow where you are Planted"

http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20120620/lead/lead1.htmlThat statement is really based on many factors. Minister Thwaites expects that students who are placed in schools that are lacking in the basic necessities must beat the odds and score grade ones and twos like their peers in the traditional high school. Any farmer knows that inorder for a plant to grow and do well it needs the right conditions,likewise the students.
