Academic transfers? How many ballers you see running to Campion or Ardene or Munro.

How do you create dynasty Karl? By accumulating players that others have groomed and filling hole sin your team each season?
This is schoolboy football we are talking about not club football, there will be ups and downs.
There are way more players involved in the game from young ages now and too many of them are not been groomed academically and they get blys to get thru the systemSolidarity is not a matter of well wishing, but is sharing the very same fate whether in victory or in death.

Ask yourself how the players that would transfer to the 'top schools' got that way, wasn't it some good youth coach that had the goods to get them where they were so they would be attractive to the coaches in the top schools.
Additionally if the coach at the 'top school' was any good he would know what to do to maintain his programme.Solidarity is not a matter of well wishing, but is sharing the very same fate whether in victory or in death.

If you do not believe talent abounds you may have a point. However, talent abounds. -- The kids all have the ability to do well academically as well as at sports. Where they 'shine' at each depends on the environment within which each child's talent is nurtured.Originally posted by Sickko View Post
That 1958 STGC team, or the 1964 KC team or the Clarendon College team of the 1970's are not as outstanding as our mind remembers them save within the limited context of Jamaica's schoolboy teams. With similar systems in place as were at those schools and similar teachers/coaches all our schools can turn out such players.
Skill, Deigo, Den-Den...were/are not dunces. They were/are merely products of poor teaching/learning environment.
If we assume that students/athletes switch schools to more from poor teaching/learning situations to better ones --- then the boy or girl who switches school (for academics or sports) just underscores the level of teaching/coaching in the schools.
Sickko - What is needed is not restriction of movement of students but upgrading of the teaching/learning environment such that all the kids have a fair shot improvement in excellent learning environment.
It is stupid to focus on the movement of the kids and not improvement of the surrounding within they can maximize potential. ISSA has got it all wrong. It is concentrating on the holding on/the retention of an inadequate/failing system.
ISSA is a teacher's organisation its job is improving delivery of quality education - academic, sports and more."Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."Comment

I think you missed his point.
He was questioning whether those who are against student transfers to elite schools for sporting reasons, are also opposed to transfers to elite schools for academic reasons.

Bad analogy because I actually know people who want their kid to go to their school, even if it is Cambridge or Anchovy but I get your point but I have hard Colour's stories for years so I know his points of viewSolidarity is not a matter of well wishing, but is sharing the very same fate whether in victory or in death.

You make a lot of sense...IF the main point of the exercise is to maximize footballing or other sporting resources...
It is not so...schools are mainly for learning...so academic considerations should be paramountTIVOLI: THE DESTRUCTION OF JAMAICA'S EVIL EMPIRE

You are telling me that you believe sports is not an integral part of 'the learning'! Look at it this way - 'sports' (each sport?) just another 'subject'!Originally posted by Don1 View Post
