I wish to congratulate the Minister for this correct thinking. Impressive change since his comments on The Pointe. A good night's sleep can work miracles sometimes. Thank you Sir.
"The Minnis administration accepts this, the minister told The Tribune and is satisfied with assurances..."
We, the Bahamian People, are satisfied with "assurances" too. I eat assurances for breakfast, and i pack "assurances" in my kids' lunch boxes.
We keep a steady supply of Vaseline on hand for numerous occassions just like this.
Don't worry about us Mr. Foulkes, we are used to it. Keep helping the Chinese and the Haitians. Like the well know Q.C. is say, it's the "humane" thing to do.
Sands needs to stop insulting our religion. There is no HIV in the Bahamaa. None !!! And the reason is simple. We don't have sex. We are christians !!!! Christians don't gave sex. We don't even talk about sex.
"Dr Sands told the Tribune that a perceived delay is a “function of expectation”...".
LOL
Bahamians against Bahamians. We eat our own. Haitians stick together, defend each other, take our jobs, our country, our flag, and laugh all the way to the bank.
With our self destructive attitude toward each other - they deserve to win.
I can't believe the comments on here by Bahamians against Bahamians. We eat our own. Haitians stick together, defend each other, take our jobs, our country, our flag, and laugh all the way to the bank.

Sheep. Yes. There is no reason our kids have a D average except that our government decided to make our grade D equivalent to USA grade C. It's a choice that can be unchosen.
Otherwise why not make our grade F equivalent to USA grade C? Then our kids can get F's but "explain" that it's just fine and cool because that's the same as an international C.
hrysippus...yes i agree that a D here has the same educational value of a C there. My point is ... then why not just call it a damned C in the first place? Why do police cars say dial 919 for emergency (and 911)? Just because we want to be different to the point of being stupid.
Why don't we make all if our gas pumps list ans readout gas prices and sales in wookies, where 2 wookies is equal to one dollar.
So if you want $20 worth of gas, you tell the gas pumper "Give me 40 wookies please." That would be stupid and unnecessary right? Same with a D being equal to a C. Stupid and unnecessary.
Hrysippus. Listen. It's very simple. A "curve" is just a graph of the number of students getting each possible %correct score from 0 to 100. We always find that most grades fall in some middle range - say 55 - 75. The graph looks like a gently rolling hill.
We then draw a line from the highest point down to the x-axis and call this the middle or "median". After that we decide all on our own how far to go (equally) on both sides of this line and draw a line on both sides. The space between these two lines we call the middle group and assign this group our middle grade.
We then travel some other arbitrarily chosen distance to the left of the left line and the same distance to the right of the right line. Again both these distances must be the same. We assign our grade above our middle grade to the right-most group and our grade below our middle grade to the left-most group and we repeat this process assigning grades left and right from our middle as we go.
This concept is used to assign the "average" or "middle" grade to the "average" or "middle" group.
Usually grades are A B C D F so that the middle grade is a C.
But our geniuses ib our government in their infinite conch shell wisdom decided to have grades like a b c d e g f so that the middle grade in the group is a D. Hence our muddle or average students get called D students simply because we CHOOSE to call them that.
This affects their self esteem and this then brings down their peeformance so they truly become losers and ignorants.
I suppose if your goal is to create a steady supply of hotel room cleaners and laundromat workers then this is a brilliant plan. Our children "aspire" to become Atlantis employees because we teach them that such a goal is awesome and super cool.
Own an Atlantis. No. Not you. You are just a D average dumb Bahamian. Dont even think about it.
