Maybe if this father used discipline in his home, his child wouldn't feel he could come to school and act the clown.
"This what he got for clowning and talking in class. I don’t even beat my children!"
Yes this is what he got for coming to school and distracting, disrupting, and ultimately disrespecting the classroom. He came to school to learn and not clown around. If he wanted to clown around, enroll him in clown school. At least there he won't be disciplined for acting the clown.
I've known of more successful graduates from SAC than any government school that has "discouraged" the use of corporal punishment.
So clearly they are doing something correctly that benefits the future of this country. If he doesn't want his child disciplined for acting the clown in school, then send him to Clown Academy where that behavior is encouraged.
The sad part about this is, an unmarried Bahamian woman can have all the illegitimate babies she wants for how ever many foreign men she wants, and all those children will be Bahamians. Also an unmarried Bahamian man can have babies with all the foreign women he wants, but they can't be Bahamian either - based on current constitutional rights.
If Bahamians would stop being so silly and realize that they are only trying to level the playing field for all bahamians this wouldn't be an issue.
i wish someone would do a census to see the ancestry of those convicted of violent crimes, or to see what nationality of people they were predominately exposed to.
i do believe there is a link to our increasing immigration problem and the level of crime here in the bahamas.
i can offer a possible reason as to why "bahamians" are so angry, but some might not like it.
butttttt
i will say that maybe the increase in our foreign population could potentially be a reason. historically bahamians were a peaceful set of people, even before the lucayans were wiped out- they too were peaceful. that being said countries like haiti and jamaica were historically violent countries, with the people prone to acts of revolt.
as we can see even from recent events in places such as haiti and jamaica, they respond to their issues with violence. and it stands to reason that the mentality they bring here to the bahamas is seeping in to affect bahamians.
fast forward now the bahamas is essentially a melting pot with many bahamians having haitian or jamaican ancestry, or being exposed to people of those ancestry. so maybe, violence is now becoming an innate part of the culture.

so say a bahamian female has a child abroad, brings the child back to the bahamas, and the child is raised here- that child shouldn't be bahamian.
and say a foreign man marries a bahamian woman and has children, and they decide to reside in the bahamas- those children aren't bahamians.
cause by law now- they aren't
so what you are saying is "the bahamas should be for bahamians" only applies to those bahamians who never leave the bahamas, and who only procreate with other bahamians who have never left the bahamas...
help me to understand...cause i feel our constitution as it stands is sexist and unfair.
i don't see anything wrong with the proposed amendments.
a child born to a bahamian mother and a foreign father should have a right to citizenship. whether they were born inside or outside of the bahamas.
a child born to foreign parents inside of the bahamas should apply at 18 for citizenship. until then you apply to the country of your parents birth for citizenship.
why is this concept so hard to grasp....children born to a bahamian have a right to citizenship whether from their bahamian born mother or bahamian born father, and regardless of their country of birth.
children born to non-bahamian parents have no right to citizenship, whether born in the bahamas or not.
...we really need to start paying closer attention to what is being said, and stop being sidetracked by politics.

If he wasn't robbing someone's house, he would have had no need to jump in the canal to evade police, and therefore he would not have drowned.
So conclusion... don't be a criminal. He got what he deserved.
