You know, there are people who believe this -- like birdie and PLP supporters for example. Sometimes I wish that I spoke "Idiot", that way I could tell them off in their own language.
Anonymity is necessary for two reasons: (1) Because of the tribal nature of politics here, there can be real repercussions in terms of job loss or censure if one expresses an opinion contrary to the ruling kleptocrats and the economic power they wield over Bahamians. (2) The personal views may be attributed to the employer of the person making them. I am bound by anonymity on this forum because my employer demands it. The controversial things that I say are not compatible with some of our clients and my employer doesn't wish to suffer because of my outspoken remarks.
What they pay teachers is outrageously low. Teachers are the bedrock of a nations progress because they train the people of the future.
As a favour to his mother, I recently dropped off my nephew to his school. I was blown away by the teacher who could not speak proper English. In addition, I looked at his school work. The kids are not taught to think, but rather to work by rote -- in all subjects. It is so backwards and unsuitable for a society where the ones who do best economically are those fluent in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math). We don't do anything to prepare our children for knowledge-intensive work. We need a complete modernisation of the education system.
I am friggin' amazed at some of the policy coming out of doc's assemblage of candidates. It is progressive first-world shiite and it will fundamentally change many things. The policy that is being discussed as platform gives me a small measure of hope in the darkness. I am hearing things that take courage to implement, yet are finally, for the good of the country.
And you sir, are on a level as bullshit artist with the best of them. I really don't understand your agenda, considering that I think that I know who you are.

It is oversubscribed because of the interest that it is paying -- no other reason. Let's hope that it isn't a Ponzi scheme.
