From today's Sosua News:

The traffic police of Sos?a (AMET) has started providing traffic classes for pupils of primary schools in the beach resort town. The first lessons were taught to the students of the class of Mrs. Blanca from the Gregorio Luper?n school in Charamicos. The AMET teacher, responsible for the lessons, was the young and patient sergeant Charito. The kids got the traffic rules explained in a question and answer game. The emphasis was on the safe crossing (look left, then right, then left again) and making use of the sidewalk. With these traffic classes, the traffic police is hoping to reduce the number of traffic accidents where children are involved.

Great post Ken, disregard the haters.
If they can do a better job than the sergeant, then get off your asses and go do it. Easy to sit on a computer all day and trash someone who is trying.

Like you, I think this is a great program and hope it continues. It has long been known that changing behavior is a long process and starts with the children.

Regarding the negatives, pay them no mind like I do. It seem fashionable these days, at least in some quarters, to try to dazzle the rest with supposedly "witty" remarks.

AMET and traffic safety do not belong on the same page. How can anyone type it with a straght face? Next thing you know we will discuss road safety during night time driving in the DR. Its not that we can do a better job. the
point you are missing is that the job does not exist in the first place. "Long process" aint the half of it, Ken.

Wait these are the same guys who run around on Motos driving the wrong way on one way streets, with out a helmet, and no lights or registration on the bike????
And if they are "teaching" classes does that take away from the 3 hours a day that they are "working" enforcing the "law" of the day???

If it saves one kid, or make one person more aware it's worth it. We constantly monitor and give kids heck for crossing the street without looking or darting out; so do many parents. About 90% of the time students will ask for help to cross or look both ways before crossing, so the lessons, if drilled in, will stick.
