Don’t Mess with Mom
====================
.
My son came home from school one day,
with a smirk upon his face.
He’d decided he was smart enough,
to put me in my place.
~*~
“Guess what I learned in Civics Two,
that’s taught by Mr. Wright?
It’s all about the laws today,
The “Children’s Bill of Rights.”
~*~
It says I need not clean my room,
don’t have to cut my hair.
No one can tell me what to think,
or speak, or what to wear.
~*~
I have freedom from religion,
and regardless what you say,
I don’t have to bow my head,
and I sure don’t have to pray.
~*~
I can wear earrings if I want,
and pierce my tongue & nose.
I can read & watch just what I like,
and get tattoos from head to toes.
~*~
And if you ever spank me,
I’ll charge you with the crime.
I’ll back up all my charges,
with the marks on my behind.
~*~
Don’t you ever touch me,
my body’s only for my use,
not for your hugs and kisses,
that’s just more child abuse.
~*~
Don’t preach about your morals,
like your mama did to you.
That’s nothing more than mind control,

After 60 years, dedicated worker receives Medal of Appreciation
Published: Saturday | May 23, 2009

After over 60 years of ardent and dedicated service to both primary and adult education in Jamaica, 87-year-old Yolande Jackson still finds time to teach.
Although Jackson said goodbye to the classroom many years ago, she has not been able to turn her back on the numerous students who still look to her for knowledge.
She admits that having been the child of two educators and the widow of a vice-principal, teaching was undoubtedly in her blood.
“They always find me and I can’t say no, I still assist them,” she said. “Parents will often come to me and ask me to help their children in certain areas and I will have classes with them at my home,” she told The Gleaner.

The following is the first in a series of stories on graduates of the Jamaican Foundation for Lifelong Learning (JFFL) who have overcome great odds to become successful professionals.
..
THE YEAR was 1976 when a series of catastrophic events shook the reality of Paul Harding before finally directing him to an experience that forever redefined his life.
..
First, there was the letter that came by special delivery. He couldn’t read, so he gave it to the person he thought was “the brightest person in the world”. The problem was, she did not tell him what the letter said, instead, she kept sending him away to come back. One day, convinced that she was talking to one of her friends about the contents of his letter, Harding accused her of being “slight” with him. Read More
