And still they spend like there is no tomorrow. Poverty is on the increase, tourists and homeowners are more and more concerned at the cost of groceries. In reality we are already paying %15 VAT so stop the bulllshit.

I really think that there is a limit to the language and racial insults that should be tolerated on this forum. White masa and SP only show their ignorance when posting comments like those earlier.

Not all teachers believe in this nonsense so you have no right to categorize all teachers as dumb.

I'm confused how an article on this new game leads on to sexual preferences, religious insults etc etc. What I do know as a long serving teacher is that we have incompetent policy makers in education. Have you noticed how any donations such as computers etc from betting shops and BTC mostly go to Nassau schools, how family island teachers are encouraged to attend workshops in Nassau at their expense whilst Ministry officials travel to family islands with hire cars , hotel accommodation and food paid for. Has anybody questioned the influx of Cuban teachers who in many cases struggle to be understood by the students because of their lack of English speaking skills and by the time they understand the students and system are leaving. Supplies are a thing of the very distant past, so where is the money going. Technical education (so important we are told) has a budget but as a fact one technical dept on a family island has received NO supplies for over 10 years. Why are there so many subjects being taught at Primary school level ,including Spanish when they come to the High school and cannot add up or write a simple sentence in English. BGCSE exams were moderated in the UK starting in the early 90's at great cost and the idea was that once the Bahamas was proficient it would do its own thing. 20+ years later exams are still being sent to the UK for approval, correction etc at huge expense to the Government and still presented to students with graphic errors, Something is very wrong.

In reality the education in this country is pure political bullshit. Family islands ignored, Technical education-what a joke, no money for maintenance but plenty for non entities to travel around giving speeches and awards.

I think its our highly intelligent Director exerting his unsurpassed powers of organization.

And will it ever provide substitute food supplies for Bahamians ? of course not just another money pit. How about new electrical generators for Nassau . If I ran my household finances like these idiots I would have been bankrupt years ago without the benefit of a constant money supply. Devaluation is coming be warned.

Come on $3-4 for freight per gallon. No way.

Try 11 or $12 a gallon on Eleuthera. Would love $7 a gallon.

Mr Christie, wake up and smell the roses, many persons on Eleuthera cannot afford the basic foodstuffs let alone a burglar alarm. Visitors as well are complaining about the extremely high cost of living. As for reduced duty on frozen veg and fruit----no use whatsoever as the merchants on Eleuthera will charge just the same and pocket the profit. Lets face it ,there is no such thing as seven and a half cents in practicality and all the merchants round everything UP.
