Still just a lot of old heads........sigh

When we get to the "pernt" where we assess people beyond their physical manifestation, young, old, male, female, fat, skinny, ugly, pretty, white, black, tall, short, and we start assessing them for what they produce...*by their fruits*... Then and only then will we start to progress as a nation.

Young men will have visions of the future, but old men will just dream dreams.

Moses was eighty years old when he led the Israelites out of Egypt ...... he had been a prince and a refugee/shepherd for forty years each ......... Experience in leadership counts as well.

Moses never saw the promised land. It's this same generation that has led the educational system into mediocrity, so why still have them in charge? Maybe it's time to do what a lot of American public schools are doing,implementing programs used by international schools, where skills are developed, note rote learning.

Transform yourself by the **renewing of your mind**. Innovation and progress are not an age thing, they're a mind thing. As a man thinketh so is he. Not getting spiritual, those are actually secular concepts. If we keep shipping off "old people" to the retirement home at 50, we throw away half of our collective potential.

OK ..... I get your point ...... but who trained Joshua in the desert to conquer the Promised Land?????? Moses messed up and was fired by God .......... Experience still counts, my friend. Who do you think trained the present team what is there now??? ....... Iris Pinder and Lionel Sands

The Minister of Education must present a PLAN on how to reform education in The Bahamas ...... and it MUST include both public and private schooling ....... the present two-tiered system based on family name, income, colour, religion,and social status has to be eradicated from this country ....... You cannot expect this country to move forward when 75% of the students are running the race with one arm and one leg tied behind their backs........ And without a Teachers' Service Commission, the profession is doomed.

Soooooo, how many ordinary Bahamians can pay $3,000 school fees every term?????? ........... That is a simple form of elitism based on income.
Why not provide an elite public school with no fees, just based on merit????

Sheeps, are you suggesting getting rid of private education in this country? Not a good idea, it can be seen as elitist but it works well to turn out educated students. Our educational problem is largely due to the standard of child being produced and the diet those children are raised on. Lets ban junk food, sugar, sodas and candies, red meat and see this country transform. You are quite literally what you eat.

Works well for who????????? .......... Get real ......... there is too much elitism and entitlement in private schooling ....... Who do you think owes the Government $150 million for educational loans????????

There are excellent children in many public schools. The public primary schools are very good ....... but the "scholarships" drain from public junior high schools render the senior high schools almost redundant in Nassau, Freeport and Abaco.

I wouldn't count removing private schools, because the public high schools are mainly a kill-zone for children. Either it's sex or brawls that can kill someone unlucky enough to run across them. There's really no elitism in private anymore, and those excellent children should consider moving to those schools to get more out of their potential.

Just out of curiosity ....... Why is everyone in an "acting" capacity????? ....... We know Jeff Lloyd likes drama, but is this some Shakesperian joke at work here???????

Actors are by definition persons who are volunteering to take on a role that they are not in real life. ........ BOL.

how many of the pictured above use online banking or atms?

The excited looks on their faces can only mean education will be transformed in less than six months. Looks like they are rearing to go!
