Don’t punish all for the actions of some

Dear Christine,I am a student of one of Barbados Secondary Schools. I am writing this letter to give you my opinion about the picture of the school girl in the newspaper, dated March 13 and about the banning of the school children from catching the  ZR vans.
I think that the picture should have been published to let the public know what kind of vulgarity is going on in the stadium during  school sports.
I don’t think that the children should be banned from vans because the buses don’t go where most of us live.
Some of the children go around doing foolishness and that is why the good children suffer from all the problems.
Thank you in advance for reading and publishing this letter and  taking your time out for it.  
– ANONYMOUS .DEAR ANONYMOUS:
I HOPE that if you witnessed or continue to witness bad behaviour by your fellow students, that you bring it to the attention of the relevant authorities.
If there are others who feel the same way, and you all have solutions as to how we can all solve the problems of bad children giving the good ones a bad name then your principal or even the ministers of Education or of youth affairs, may want to hear from you.
Don’t be shy to speak up and look out for forums where you can make your voice heard. 
– CHRISTINE.
