Yawn. For all of Alicia's irreverent, embarrassing bluster, she does not even have the intelligence to offer any viable solutions. Nothing that she says here even meets the definition of a recommendation, and notice that she supports her nonsense with no empirical data at all. Sadly, however, Alicia, in all her hubris and faux wit, believes she is the bastion of intelligence and innovative logic. YAWN.
Look at the embarrassing suggestion two, where the hopeless Wallace suggests that the answer to our problems lies with showing a student where e=mcsquared applies to their future life. LOL. How the hell will a 9th grade student (an age where algebra is typically introduced) even know what applications their future self will use? I suggest the ignorant should familiarize herself with the work of Ralph Massey. Many of the nonsense proposed by Alicia is refuted, with data, by the esteemed scholar. (no, students don't need "real world application to do well on scores)>

If that is what you believe, then you are too stupid to even have an intelligent conversation.
I'd suggest you do your research first - google global marina prices and effect on occupancy" to give your ignorant ass a clue.

I'll bet you a steak dinner at the restaurant of your choosing that Minnis will win his seat. I'll even nominate Tal or Birdie to hold the funds pending the outcome of the election.
Minnis will win his seat in a landslide.

Who gives a shit about his contract, Strawman. His logic is sound. You must be a 5 year old stuck in a 3 year old body. Idiot.

Yes, because the teachers have an AK-15 to make the students study, and semi-automatic handguns to make the parents give a damn about their child's performance. Let's slay the teachers.

Present your evidence or shut your yap.

A few things here, because many of you are ignorant as hell.

1) General Orders does not apply to SOEs (zns, baic, wsc, etc.), so Sands quoting General Orders is a red herring.
2) Mike Smith and Pakeisha Parker all employed with ZNS, solicited and received FNM nominations - and not a darn thing was said about it then (by the FNM and the hypocrite FNM supporters). We can't have selective morality now.
3) FNM has abused this privilege many times, where it mattered: Brensil Rolle, for example, was an employee of the Ministry (where he in fact WAS subject to General Orders), when he solicited and ultimately received a nomination from Ingraham in 2007. FNM was silent on this matter.
4) Recently, Senator Rolle, who was attached to ZNS, actively pursued an FNM nomination, in the employ of the great Zephyr Nassau Sunshine.

So, the FNM, including the miscreant Sands, can miss me with all this nonsense.

Tal, please stop with your inaccuracies. In the case of Ed Bethel, he became an ambassador (not moved on to politics) 10 years AFTER working at ZNS. no conflict there at all. There was, and is, no integrity issues in that regard.

I call bull$#%

Exactly. No pension; no health or dental insurance. It is no wonder the government has to (overly) tax businesses such as these.
