It is tragic how in this country we deal with symptoms and not the root cause of the problem.

Rather than an apprentice retool, why do we not retool the education system that we have. That clearly is where the problem is. K-3 needs to focus on Reading, writing and arithmetic. Give our students a solid foundation, and not all these millions subjects. Then in 4-6 build on that, so they leave primary school with a solid foundation, and build on that in 7-12.

And teach not for regurgitation of information or for exam taking, but for learning.

Why is this even a point, when the girl is no age eligible as yet?

I highly doubt it would be emotionally difficult for Grand Bahamians to sever ties with the rest of The Bahamas. That tie is already severed. Grand Bahamians go to Florida for everything as is. Just like Abacoians and West Palm Beach.

SO maybe the entire North Bahamas should be offered to the US for sale. Don't think the people in GB and and Abaco would lose sleep over what happens to the rest of the islands.

On Should PLP sell GB to US?

I mean how often can these guys have issues and everyone saying something different. The PM says he break covid protocol, Darville say no.
The PM say he didn't see fuel hedge. Sears said he did. PM says RCI deal done. Bowleg says not done.

WOW

No. You have to sue the farmer for growing the banana. Sure Davis would join in the suit.

How do you blame the gun manufacturers for the illegal arms in the Bahamas?

This whole article raises all sorts of questions.

What is consistently provide 1200 construction jobs? Especially when in the first quarter the number is only 300?

What is flood mitigation system? A place that in every storm will flood due to location, how will they mitigate flood?

How will this hub cargo be something people want? Why fly from South America or Europe and stop in Grand Bahamas, when you can fly just 15 more minutes and be right in the US?

Tired of the political garbage talk that makes no sense.
