We had an immigration crisis under you too Minnis. You threatened them with deportment and then you left office early. You can sit down now - your words don't mean much anymore.
Absolutely agree. I suspect that more than half of what our kids are taught and asked to memorize are things that they will never be asked to discuss or know in their lifetime. Our curriculums need to be reduced to and focus on the most important and relevant information. History for one needs to focus on recent events and then move back from there. Why we still spend 3 months learning the names and dates of hitlers propaganda chief is beyond me, especially when the kids haven't even been taught about 9/11 or the gulf war. and in Science spending months memorizing the elemental chart when they don't yet know how plastics and nylon is made. Show them something cool and then explain how it works and which elements are involved.
The one major problem we have is corruption. If any government seriously decides to deal with that then we are more than half the way home. We will have 100's of millions of dollar left over each year to get the country back on track OR to reduce the tax burden.
I will be happy to hear the PLP say very clearly "We will mark our 50th anniversary with a pledge to stop corruption for a year". That's a big ask but it would help our economy and the people if they would resist for a year.
So... we saw this coming and did what exactly? We see NIB imploding and we are doing what exactly? We saw education imploding around 30 years ago and we did what exactly?
I'm actually astonished that this is coming out of his mouth. Good for him from addressing this issue. Hopefully some positive changes and action comes from this.
I took my kids (girls) there a couple of years back and had to apologize to them as I had sold it how i remembered it - beautiful and fun. Unfortunately, I had to reverse out of no less than three corners downtown as there were just too many males loitering in the streets, in the middle of the day, for me to risk driving down them. Needless to say we haven't been back as there are too many other peaceful and beautiful islands to visit. I hope the island gets its charm back and limits the number of... let's say, workers living in deplorable close quarters.
