  1. This is a rather unfortunate incident. Such a young lad. May his family be granted immense strength to go through this difficult time.

  2. While we teaching Spanish in schools that have zero use for 99.99999% of the population our people are drowning because they cannot swim or don’t know basic water safety practices.

  3. UNKNOWN…….IF YOU MEAN LIFE GUARDS I AGREE, AND THE BASICS FOR SWIMMING SHOULD BE TAUGHT IN SCHOOL AS PART OF THEIR LIFE SAVING COURSE IF THEY HAVE THAT OPTION. AT LEASE IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS.

  4. @Unknown.. everything comes at a cost. Are you willing to pay through taxes?
    @Just Saying… What research have you conducted to conclude that Spanish is useless? There are persons offering swimming classes in the north and south of the island. Some schools offer swimming.

  5. Seymour we are surrounded by water. ALL schools should have swimming and life saving as part of the curriculum. Of the thousands upon thousands of students who were forced to do Spanish 0.0001% of them have any use for it. I know only 3 people who speak Spanish here and they all learned in Cuba. There that answers your question of the use of Spanish. Whereas everyone can make use of swimming and life saving skills. Better use of limited resources. I’ve never seen anyone die from not being able to speak Spanish. But I know of many who die here annually from not being able to swim.
