Concur totally.

I knew the article was about James Smith from just reading the headline. Smith is a real arithmetic man hisseff. He consistently adds bullshit, subtracts logic, divides reason, and multiplies ignorance. He has sold out, and is a PLP shill with no objectivity.

The man was crunk-up on blow powder.

Y'all did notice that he said "pilot" -- meaning that he was going to test the idea? To me, that is the most sensible thing to do, instead of taking unilateral action.

On the other hand, if you could make more money at a well-paying salaried job rather than grifting on the street with a gun, then you would have a whole population of young men toting brief cases instead of Glocks.

That's what you get when you have an economy that cannot absorb poorly educated, functionally illiterate, poorly socialised, highly marginalised young men.

The problem is unfixable with the present human capital.

>“It’s just basically whatever they say, you don’t have an option,” the employee said.

Is this for real????? What is the definition of a job? You do what your boss tells you to do. I have to do it. Too bad if you are used to coming in the mornings and now have to come at night. It's no wonder that worker productivity is low, with such a sense of entitlement. I often have to work late on behalf of clients, and I don't get overtime. I oftentimes skip lunch when I have to refactor a portfolio for a client. When my boss or a customer asks me to jump, the correct response is "How high?".

Actually, what a lot of the studies show, is gender bias towards the boys, that discriminates against the girls and that is the major benefit to be gleaned from gender separation.

In terms of neural cognitive abilities, other studies show that cognitive learning ability evolves based on age. Young girls assimilate math better with their brains in the early years, yet by junior high, the gap is closed and at senior high, the boys' brains are more cognitively evolved for math.

There are a lot of conflicting gender studies but one of the key elements of separating the boys from the girls, is that discipline is easier to enforce in separate genders.

I totally concur with separating the students. Girls become more assertive and boys become less distracted. Marks have been shown to go up when the genders are separated.

The internet is full of scholarly articles (I just read one from the University of Michigan) that shows marks are higher when genders are separated.

Education is at a crisis point in the Bahamas, and anything is better than we currently have. I think that a lot of the naysayers here, are stroking their own egos and trying to ring their own hollow bells by shooting down a practical idea.

We need a new sea to educate on, to separate the buoys from the gulls.

And I would suggest that the rest of the Bahamians start pronouncing their vowels. (makes a better first impression for our nation)

There is nothing eminent about Ortland. Somewhere out there, there is a baboon wanting its brain back from Ortland.

But then again, his ethics are perfectly suited to the PLP. The only difference is that Ortland was actually punished and the PLP are not.
