Comrade Sister Belinda fight your union battles, without using our children and parents as your bargaining tools. Our crime infested, lack of paychecks society needs more after-school activities, not for them to be canceled.

Amen!

It's gotten that serious that we need to take matters to the ILO? These concerns are understood, especially the fact that new teachers haven't been paid since August. That is ridiculous! But my goodness, we can't resolve this among ourselves?

I must say, I applaud that coach who decided to stay on with his kids. Our children have no outlet besides school and the after school activities they participate in. I can imagine the number of kids I'll see on the streets these days. Sighhh...this has been going on for far too long! I can't believe we don't know how to come to a compromise in the year 2013! smt

4000 Teachers ,my word .This is just another jobs program to try and absorb our prolific baby making .This is BEC ,RBDF ,ZNS ,BAHAMASAIR ,AND BTC before it was sold ..When 1 in 4 people work for government you have to keep taxing and borrowing to keep it going .We have already priced ourselves out of the tourism market w/ our stop over declining while others in the region are increasing ..

My word? How many kids you think in them classes dred? Some class have 32 plus kids! You need the teachers, Make sense when you speak Dred, A big part of the baby making is because most of these Haitians still trying to have 6 or more children. Bahamian women stopped having alot of kids a long time ago.

Bahamian women where i live still have plenty children ,,,,,,,,,The hatian children do better in school w/ out them we would have a 20% graduation rate at our 300 million a year single mothers babysitting centers ..

Where do you live? Must be la la land, you can't be living in The Bahamas. Some primary schools if you have 10 kids 8 are Haitians! Like I said you must not be living in the 242!!

my girlfriend is a teacher and yes i live in the 242 ,,thank god for the hatian kids or are collective gpa would be about - i .. and if i walk five minutes in any direction from my house i will pass at least 3 bahamian homes w/ single mothers of 4 to 5 for 3 different daddies and i live on a family island ,,,,,,,The hatians long ago made more babies then their GDP can support ,but we are doing the same ,,,6000 kids graduate a year ,even if a 1000 are hatian bahamians ,there aren,t jobs for the 5 thousand other ,,and then cry to the government to make jobs ,,geez ,i say salt peter in the water ..

The Haitian kids make up most of the kids in school now! I know lots of Haitians who have countless baby daddy, buttom line is if 10 kids are born in The Bahamas 6 are of Haitian parents so that means they are breeding like mad. You must be mad to think Bahamians have more kids.

That is not true ,it is pure xenophopia w/ no facts to back it up .How can 30,000 people ,have as much children as 300,000 people ..YES WE DO HAVE AN IMMIGRANT PROBLEM BUT 6 OUT OF 10 KIDS BORN HERE ARE NOT HATIAN ...Of the 6000 kids that graduate a year it would be hard pressed for a 1/6 to be Hatian/bahamian .On the family island i live i can count the Hatian children in the primary school ,i am across from it ,and its not a 1/4 of the students ,plus as i said my girlfriend ,a teacher tells me the hatian kids do better .Rory 6 out of 10 births are not hatian that is pure conjecture w/ no imperical facts to support it ..

Do listen you listen to Jeffery talk show? Get a copy of his story, it was a whole show he had on it. You don't live Nassau and don't really see the numbers! Using caps mean you must be getting upset! Are you one of those indenial Haitians who think only 30, 000 to 40, 000 of you'll live I the Bahamas? Fact There are 50, 000 Haitians in The Bahamas what the government admit to! So you know the government keeps real figures away from the people! That real number could be 80,000. Bottom line in 10years we will be outnumbered by Haitians.
