Given that the public school system have a student population of some 50,000 students and the private school population have a student population of some 16,000 --- there should be a separate analysis of national grading exam levels ----- of the private school exam students and the equivalent level of the public exam school students ----- especially when the national grading is at the almost or bottom "D" level.

Is is possible that one schooling system be hugely pushing up the other school system when combined ----- EVEN to the height to be at the bottom level of "D" grade?

National Grading at "D" level is extremely critical to be improved given the importance of the youths will be the future workforce and leaders for the Bahamas nation, that immediate critical action be taken in light of the school education level.

...like your observations @joeblow. a major part of the Japanese cultural identity is a lengthy history with a strong presence of religious teachings as a part of their their culture and good broughtupsy which you as a trutru Bahamian would know what broughtupsy means. Bet yinna know what a tambrin switch is and switcher with lime juice and bet you went to Sunday School with clothes with starch and ironed without any wrinkles and shiny shoes and socks up with rubberbands and discipline to have shirt tucked in pants and greatest respect to the Sunday School teachings.

Good show @rosepi raising the issue.

If the presumably adults educators has counted and added up a figure to begin and then have the discrepancy or difference of 188, THEN one should go right back to the source or beginning to make sure that the data is correct.

Given the figures are of enormous importance to the Bahamas in many aspects, these figures should be re examined by a different and independent analysts known and certified.

“An example,” Mr Reid said, “is when a person is arrested by police for suspected murder. Although police may release the individual once no credible information is found, the public may still view that person as guilty since nothing is done officially to clear their name.

On dis lil small ----- 7 X 21 mile island ----- there are some very known lawyers in seems thousands of lawyers ----- with huge experiences for decades and decades and decades and successes ---------- who continuously overwhelm and outsmart, out maneuver, out strategize the best limited understaffed, underpaid staff of the authorities to deal with Bahamian public law apprehension and enforcement, charging and successful prosecutions of cases.

Dead bodies with bullets and wounds treated at PMH obviously have perpetuator(s) who caused it.

@DWW you actually managed to question the price, but generally the store people close ranks and one just laughts it off and moves on.

This overcharging by double or more scanning the same price label seems common unless the is picked up by the buyer and at times there is usually some Japanese or Asian customer buyer looking at the bill outside the store and the spouse tugging at them to exit the vicinity and move on.

Safer protections for tourists and foreigners especially when language is a barrier, is needed in highly frequented food stores where seems likely the tourists shoppers can be overcharged by cashiers in addition by faulty electronic scanning store prices labels or double labels.

Protections are needed for the tourists and foreigners by cashiers who overcharge customers to be top employee sales intake employee.

Sales intake and productivity is always been a feature in upward promotion and not being layoffs off by the employer.

More focus should be on the cashiers honesty in dealing with tourists and foreigners in highly frequented known stores locations.

parking spaces parking spaces parking spaces -----what about private vehicles also having parking spots downtown ???

ALL this grossly unfair allocation of parking spaces for TAXIS and exclusive spots over the thousands of all other private vehicle drivers needs to be changed to parking meters spots. The few parking spots for private vehicles is unfair to the public as the few handful downtown Parking spots seem to be hogged up all day by those who are in those few Parking spots.

Thousands of private cars and other vehicles also need a chance of parking downtown and Bay St. for instance needs to have parking meters so everyone on a fair, equal and increased opportunity to have access to downtown.

The Bahamian Culture and formation of its identity was decades been ironclad tied with the once prominent CHURCH and the Christian educating the people.

Sadly, today there seems to be more of the politicians at the Church's Pastors areas with the political trained and sermons and the Pastors abdicating and surrendering their once God's trained teachings.

Pastors and Priests used to be the excellent advisors in Bahamian society and formidable force in resolving Bahamian family conflicts.

@rosiepi.Bingo on your opinion.

An important part of the hospitalization of the patient, stated by Mr. Bain the son "Because of the steel in her leg it was difficult to move her but every time I went there I would reposition her so she could be as comfortable as possible,” he said.
