THE EDITOR, Sir: The Grade Six Achievement Test (GSAT) monster has raised its ugly head once more.How I hate this time of the year when the grade-six students are made to endure the terror of the GSAT monster!

The Editor, Sir: I write with reference to your editorial of June 19, titled 'The controversial CAP shares'.

THE EDITOR, Sir:BELOW is my letter of resignation from the Jamaica Labour Party, dated June 17, 2010, and sent to the general secretary.

I READ the Letter of the Day from Patrick Gallimore and would like to congratulate him for sharing his concerns.
