Thoughts to ponder - 'Crocs Day' in Jamaican schools

Jamaica is a country of creatives. How is it then that we are having a 'Crocs Day for children islandwide whereby children must wear crocs sandals. The fact is our parents end up spend thousands of dollars on crocs imported from China. The strongest slippers are made by average shoemakers mostly Rastarians from locally made leather from goat or cow hide.

Further a pair costs $4,000 average. How comes we send our children to buy Chinese crocs for exuberalnt fees. I asked a couple of parents about the cost of their stlish crocs and was shocked to hear that even $10,000.00 was spent on a pair.
