« teach kids respect » says national leaders – trinidad and tobago crime

So says Erla our newish police chief and repeated by our education minister.

The former literally said pray about crime, 6th worse worldwide; on the latter’s watch announced by her very ministry over 2000 kids dropped out school during covid and thousands did not pass SEA exams as did not attend school during the pandemic.

Are not wholly wrong to utter that those two – grown adult children of my 2 of my neighbors are the worst. Once friendly are baccahnalists and even blocked steps to prevent my family passing. Grown to be bad parents themselves.

Problem arises when it comes from failed leaders.

Reformed police, school, mental health ministry are absent. I for one feel gvt must take the lead, grab the reins. Reduce the chance kids fall through the cracks.

Take stock of Finland schools and Norway police.
