Dear Editor,
THE result slips for the Grade Six Exams have July 22 for parents to register children. Almost 200 parents turned up at Skeldon High School and not even one teacher came to do the registration. They didn’t even have the manners to put the notice on television or something. People don’t have time to waste.The next thing too is this blood test business. How come parents have to do children’s blood tests and walk with the results and $5000 before they register the children?
The secretary of the school who is the hospital dentist’s wife said all the children have to get blood tests and we would have to pay $5000 when they are ready to do registration. Blood tests are done every year, but this price is too hot now.
Not everybody can line up at the Skeldon Hospital for a blood test. Some people went to private doctors. Come on, man. Where can poor people find that kind of money?
Yours co-operatively,
Inderjit Rampersaud
