St. Maarten Private Eye

These postings made me think about the current school curricula. I think the Commissioner of Education should consider revamping school subjects and include the rich History of St. Maarten and current events, especially now with all that is happening with our status. This should be mandatory for all residents of St. Maarten - public schools, private schools, or even those applying to be a resident of our lovely island. Maybe the Commisioner of Cultrual Affairs should consider having contests i.e. poems, art, or essays to get young people involved. Because, after what I read on one of the DH postings by one that goes by the name of "sxmyouth", clearly young people are not engaged in the history or St. Maarten and don't understand the importance of land marks such as the Great Salt Pond.
