You see. I said this was a sensitive issue. People will see at as wrong to blame the teachers because they are the small guy.
But I feel it is wrong for a person to front themselves as a teacher when they are NOT qualified. Because then it is the children who suffer.
Yes there are some good teachers, but they are the minority. And I agree it is a question of accountability. If you’re a crap teacher, then you should be fired and not be in a position to dim the prospects of an innocent youth. But that’s when the unions interfere and sustain the vicious cycle.
But i AM open minded and I want the problem fixed.
**Have the teachers evaluated!**
Send them to a country with a good system (like Canada, UK or even Germany) or bring them in. We NEED help with this. The evaluation HAS to be outsourced because we all know there would be too much political interference locally. Everyone knows everyone and it would be ya ma’s cuzin hairdresser doing the evaluation!.
Those that then pass the tests, Double their salary! In successful countries like Singapore, Switzerland and Korea, teachers are some of the highest paid civil servants. Those that don’t pass, I would say carry’ass! But if they want to stay a teacher get yourself trained properly and come back
I commend Mr. Fitzgerald for taking the first step and acknowledging this most dire of issues.
The problem is much worse though than he either realises or is willing to admit.
The root cause is that the vast majority of the teachers in the governement schools are not quailified and borderline illiterate themselves. That's what happens when 'subs' take over and never get replaced. What's worse is they are portected by unions who are prepared to line their pockets at the expense of our children's future.
But maybe he does realise this and is willing to put politics aside. Because to do what is neccesary, it will get ugly. Real Ugly.!
He will need to fire a lot of these teachers and go against the union which is always a very sensitive issue. Teachers are always seen as the small guy. It's one of the most important occupations yet poorly compensated. At least in 3rd world jurisdictions like ours.
But these teachers are NOT qualified for the job!.
Keeping them only serves as an injustice to our children and their future!
We need qualified teachers and to pay them properly.
Dear Minnis the Muppet, For the good of our Country please step aside.
Please put the Country and it's needs before that of your ego.
. I can understand that you must feel, with the terrible job the PLP is doing, that you are guaranteed to be the next Prime Minister of The Bahamas, but you are the cause of a divided party and it's supporters. Show that you are different from the greedy corrupt yellows and accept that you are neither the one to unite nor to lead us on to a better path.
It will mean a great self sacrifice but if you truly want what's right for the Country, you will understand.
please... it's been near a MONTH and these incompetent assholes can't even put out a fire. You think they can run a recycling plant??
And if it's by choice they haven't put out the fire then they are **god damn criminals** for poisoning fellow Bahamians, women and children.
But, we all know Renew was appointed under dubious and less than transparent circumstances by some yella friends.
The same will happen with the recycling plant. It will cost $100million with $50mil going under the table.
The people are sick and tired of this shit. Tired of the lies. Tired of the incompetence. Tired of the corruption! We need someone new! or just go ahead and bring back the british!!
