I say close all but one of the public schools and only let the few students, who put in any effort, enroll. For the vast majority of our youth, school is just a day care center and a place to try get a piece of nooky!

Ignorance is a bliss.

Hypothetical question: What would happen if we demanded the closing of every building in the Bahamas that had mildew or a termite infestation?

....NUMBERS OF PERSONS...likely....related to ....connected....persons ..would get big contracts to do the cleaning job.....whichinin likely to be inflated further....and recommended ....an likely to be further increased in costs...2x...3x....whichin somebody likely accusing somebody else of getting a bribe...finders fee...plus new contractor likely to be brought in ......repeating the process all over again.....

We would have no government services!!

..........meanwhile, many students are still under performing and lack the basic skills needed to succeed in the real world..........sighs!

The Prime Minister, if he gave permission for the strike vote was wrong to go against his labour ministry. This woman can not be trusted, now she feels empowered to make all of these unnecessary demands.

I am sure everyone agrees that the teachers deserve better conditions, but what government building is not dilapidated and moldy? Who is she to challenge a certified analyst who has already indicated that the mold is minimal to none after the cleaning? It's sickening the way they waste so much time while these children continue to fail.

Unions in the Bahamas are ridiculous, unreasonable and a waste of time!

Forget education. As SLOP once said: "The mind of a dumb voter is always a more easily persuadable mind." LMAO

Then you did not know the man. . .HE NEVER. . .I REPEAT. . .NEVER WOULD HAVE SAID SUCH DUMB CRAP!!!!

You need to sit down with Loftus Roker (Minister of Immigration under SLOP) and carefully listen to his explanation for why all of the very highly qualified expat teachers in our country had their work permits pulled almost over night so that they could be replaced by unqualified Bahamians teachers. From that point on our country's education system has consistently failed most Bahamian students and the quality of our politicians has gone down hill. Dumb voters are just not good at filling parliament with the best and brightest leaders our country has to offer. I strongly suspect you may be one of the victims of our country's most unsatisfactory education system. ROWL

One of the problems was too many of them were getting pregnant by students. Another problem was some of them (male teachers) were impregnating students then leaving the children fatherless when their contract expired.

?

Ya Lie.Stop making stuff up.SLOP never said any such thing.

A barking pitbull demands red meat. The PLP learned this 2 years into its term. Put 2 contracts in her cousin's name and she'll tone down.

WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN....OR SHOULD IS TO SPEND SOME MONEY TO HAVE A THOROUGH ANALYSIS.....A LOT OF DESE OLD STRUCTURES ARE LIKE PAST DERE TIMESPAN....materials deteriorate....years ago probably empty area....now commercial....wind....chemicals...pollutants....Cleaning the mold might remove most....but deteriarating...roof material impregnated...with contaminants...plus conditions ....will likely repeat the wholt situation....again...an again.....BEST ting might be to spend the money and build a new school...stead of wasting money wid band aid temporary solutions....only person happy is the Contractor.an employees..laughing ....but nevertheless saying ...dis gon be the last time...an then make spme excuse to fix it again..an again.....

This woman already knows that these students are as dumb as stumps but is pushing for a strike to make matters worse. Not everybody can afford a private education like the education she got at St. John's Collage. She is now basking in her glory and self importance, just another loud mouth power hungry clown !!!

You said a mouthful ............. smh. Many private schools are also (physically) inferior to some public schools ......... But you don't hear them complaining.

Mrs.Wilson will go quiet when Dr.Minnis gives her the position he promise to appoint her to.Education in the Bahamas is in need of a complete overhaul.

Dangerous precedent ........ We have 150 public schools .......90% are just like CH Reeves.

What will Lloyd, Foulkes, and Minnis do when this single-school strike vote crap blow up in their faces????????

Correction:- it won't blow up in their faces, it will blow up in our faces and we will be left to pick up the pieces because this woman is cut from the same cloth as power hungry Fred Mitchell !

DIdnt the Minister .???.not too long ago commit to new progran to give out $2,000 vouchers to some 500 pre primary school chillren ....some 1 to 1.3 million dollars...helps pre primary age students...around 3 years mostly to private schools.???.......AND on other hand some 150 schools with some 50,000..done in schools ....needing some physical repairs to operate....????....then with the days old influx of illegal migrants an chillren....who escape or had help escaping..or...soon to have anchor babies to attend free school......!!!! ....seems erry body losing out whichinever way yinna looks at it....except for people making policy on top of policy...
