<3 Save Jamaica High ! I was in the gateway program and all the teachers are so amazing and passionate about teaching no matter who you are or how much you know. Doesn't matter what school you attend, what matters is what you make of yourself in the school you attend.
It's still open and it will always be

@20Fari08 I like your "what matters...." specially if one is able and capable to direct an influence on professors, even if they are close-minded.

Change the school-system...
The pseudo-educators still wonder why school is boring, an ordeal, etc.
