General elections were held on 19 January. Today is 19 May. It has been over 100 days since the elections. Up to now the secondary schools have no boards of management. This is affecting the schools.
So when will the boards be put in place? Will the Minister of Education explain what is going to the public? Does she or the government understand the problems this is contributing to? Is the delay because of education reform?
Answers are needed not more empty talk.
Is the 11+ the only thing the ministry is looking at? How much longer will the 11+ be used?
The Indo-Barbadians support Cherish on Swan Street.
Prices cheap!
They will support if they get good prices.
But with such a small population, they all may be related. So….they support their family.
So do I. Whatever my family sells, I buy, as long as it is good.
Our educational system is obviously due for a revamp. It is quite true that we were “raised” to look for a job. Still though we did produce our entrepteneurs, some of them quite successful for the times in which they operated.
What we really need is a change in mindset. And that is already occurring among the young and even the middle aged. Owning one’s own business is “sexy” these days.
And there are, in fact, courses being offered geared towards producing entrepreneurs and there are activities and competitions as well in our schools.
The problem is that many are not prepared to fail, rise and go again. Bout heh, people still laugh at them when they fail.
Where our educational system is failing is that this “two subject” Common Entrance thing is encouraging teachers to push the fast ones and leave the “slow ones” behind. These two subjects, though very important, do not take the various abilities of the “slow ones” into account. There is no child who isn’t good at SOMETHING.
We therefore brand them as failures from early. Many of the children believe it.
AGAIN, we need a change in mindset and system to identify, recognise and develop all the various intelligences, aptitudes or talents of our children so that the academically inclined child is not seen as first tier and everyone else beneath him/her.
This does not mean we should hinder those of academic persuasion but that we should offer more opportunities for the non-academic to shine just as brightly, to the best of their ability on a daily basis.
It is hard and frustrating for children, especially boys, to be made to feel like an idiot EVERY DAY.
I have seen the intention of our government to make the necessary changes. But that is just talk. I’ll believe it when I see it.
The excuses have already begun.
Question on the minds of people on other social media platform
Why doesn’t Barbados have a New Constitution
Now as it stands barbados is a Mock Republic and have a mock Parliament
One commentator comment assessment to such mockery as flying the plane and trying to build the plane all at the same time
What is transpiring gives new meaning to hit the ground
” The pandemic has set back Barbados’ economy 20 years. But the country is on a strong path to recovery.
That came from senior economic adviser to Government, Dr Kevin Greenidge yesterday.
‘We have lost 14 per cent of the economy. That is no small feat for any country. This puts us back to [a] 2008 size economy in normal terms and 1994 . . . 1995 in real terms.’’

“I got criticised, but I know my political onions even before they are planted. Quality political analysis and comment is not a task for the politically innocent.”
Was unable to read as the onions had my eyes burning. Someone needs to tell EA that there are several varieties of onions. The watery and mushy variety should be avoided
Yet we have a govt with a first every unconstituted Parliament assembled in the House of Parliament passing legislation rewriting or implementing new laws under an old Constitution
Yet Barbados is an official Republic without a Republic Constitution
What a farce
TheO,
Good one!
Reading commentary here tells a sobering story that Barbados has reached a point of no return
Talk about “piggy backing.”
“Piggy backing” on John’s comments because they serve a particular political purpose.
Even the levels of crime where deaths are being recorded almost daily have reached a level.of normalcy never before seen in Barbados
What is happening to Barbados only time would tell
Sad to say that with poverty levels steadily climbing hope for a better future is fading
Celebrated Barbadian singer Lew “Jiggs” Kirton died in January this year. To honour his memory, Bajan Diaspora Online & Friends, chaired by Mary Yearwood, recently produced a concert entitled A Tribute to Llewellyn “Jiggs” Kirton in New York, held under the patronage of Consul General of Barbados to New York, Mackie Holder.

What a great idea founded on an economic policy
In the face of COVID numbers beginning to rise world wide
In the face of Fraudulent actions and practices which had premenate the COVID environment with such illegalities as vaccine scams
In the face of Barbados having one hospital and a make believe COVID placement centre
In the face of ongoing deaths amongst the elderly
In the face of evidence showing vaccinated people can carry the virus
In the face of all of the above
Govt and medical practitioners makes a hit or miss decision to disallow no further testing of immigrants entering the island who have been vaccinated
What a great idea
David keep digging them rabbit holes with postings that tend to hide the incompetence of govt and have a few keep running down them
Other social media platforms are not compromising their integrity to hide what they are seeing happening to a society rule by false pretense and empty promises
Our BU community demonstrates all its madness in this discussion. On the one hand they call loudly for leadership, on the other hand they condemn our prime minister as a quasi-fascist dictator.
This is an obvious contradiction. We should resolve it. The people have voted twice for leadership. The people want a strong leader. Democracy and leadership are one in Barbados. Mia Mottley is Barbados.
The Leader speaketh
Where is the leadership all the pretty talk from the mouth of govt foot soldiers telling tall tales of how great things are in Barbados
Meanwhile criminal activity does leaps and jumps across the country
Latest being a church attack because the name of Jesus was mention
Wasn’t it not so long ago that our glorious PM ushered in her sense of divine intervention now schools can exempt the name of God in meditation with words of their choosing
The atheistic views are loud and well clear and alive and now taking matters into their own hand
As is said as of recent Barbados has reached a point of no return crime is rampant and voices are silent
🕉️ Om ☎️ Calling all Spiritual masters past present and future
Atheists Christians and all other faiths can practice spiritual energy gong
they can believe in it or not
they can experience and develop this positive energy
they can take energy out of their mind and store it in their body for longevity
or they can dissipate energy out in their thoughts words actions and die prematurely

Anti religious views are being accepted in a country which once was grounded by moral values not surprising that a nonbeliever would take it upon himself to terrify a church because of its religious beliefs
Just a matter of time as times change and modemday moderators use their influence to spew their anti religious beliefs across the airwaves
THE GREAT ONE
” Mia Mottley is an icon in her country, having won re-election by a landslide. The Prime Minister strides boldly on the world stage. She is an embodiment of our conscience, reminding us all to treat our planet, and therefore one another, with love, dignity, and care.”

Listening to Brasstacks right now.Lovely to hear Sandy ranting. Really lovely. lol
Barbados unlike international countries were terrorist views are espoused
Barbados can ill afford a luxury of terrorism running foot loose across the country
Religious views and practices are individual guaranteed right
However of recent there seems to be a mindset of views which are running on a deadly track to destroyed the religious views of belivers by non beliviers
Yesterday attack brings closer to home that unless truth is not dispense properly likr medicine it can kill
Woman. You is a pest !
CAn you not tell that the man is mental and not terrorist?

The Supreme Leader has spoken. We must follow! Loyalty is our honour.
Other social media platforms are buzzing with congratulations LOLbecause one of the lowest rated magazine called TIME posted a Front Page story stating Mia is one of the most influential people in the world
Needless to say the writer did not bring evidence
Now the international.media have caught on to the game of smoke and mirrors
angela cox at 3;00 pm
Is TIME magazine really ” one of the lowest rated magazine”? When I was a lad it was highly rated and still is. Please give Jill her jacket.Congratulations would be acceptable. Lol!!!
Congrats to our Supreme Leader! The stronger the leader, the stronger Barbados.
What has Mia done to.be amongst the 100 influential people
Woman has home turf problems of importance and keeps mouth shut until she is shamed into opening her mouth
Again Vincent Codrington what any thing or things have Mia done to make change the only person so far Mia has influenced is Rhianna no one else seems to care about here international speeches after the words hit the ground
Meanwhile here is your answer to the question about Time
Xxxxx
Trump has been on the magazine’s cover 35 times, fewer than Richard Nixon, who was pictured 40 times, as well as Ronald Reagan, who appeared 37 times. Trump was featured on the cover for the first time in 1989 and last in August 2020.Feb 4, 2021
Overview. Time Magazine has a consumer rating of 2.06 stars from 18 reviews indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Time Magazine ranks 180th among News Other sites.
My my vantage point there are plenty puppeteers pulling political strings in Carribbean waters to get a desired result
Let that sink in

Mia Mottley is an icon in her country, having won re-election by a landslide. The Prime Minister strides boldly on the world stage.
https://our.today/mia-mottley-lands-cover-page-of-times-100-most-influential-people/
Mia is the current darling of the international media – no surprise. The late Mandela was also a darling of the international media. What do both have in common? They offered no threat to the status quo and they did little to empower their majority black populations – apart from a small number. Both were puppets to the west.

Breaking news.
Insider report
It is alleged that Lorenzo, Enuff and J2 were the Barbadians who completed the survey for Mia’s selection.
It appears that Freundel Stuart was also nominated.. AC, why you do dat?

Back in the days with the editor from England didn’t you used to say mia talks to much and don’t let the. Minister talk ?
“With me, ‘No homo’ is just installed in my vocabulary. It’s like even if I’m in a meeting, I’ll be with my lawyer and say something like ‘No homo’ and my lawyer be like looking at me and I’m like, ‘I know you have know idea what I’m talking about but I need to say that because I said something real homo, no homo.’ [Am I gay?] Not at all, far from it. It isn’t about being gay. It’s about saying something gay. For instance, my man Jim Jones said ‘I’ma beat you with that ’til all the white stuff come out of it.’ That’s wild homo. Telling somebody else that. No homo, he didn’t tell me that. You understand what I mean? This isn’t even about being gay, it’s about saying something – this is about saying gay things by accident. No homo. This isn’t about being gay.”
Those who have eyes to see there is a global agenda at work
What is the global agenda a system set up to be controlled by one world goverance even Mia language sends messages which seem uncommon and far removed from the messages she sent to the people during her campagain
Her campagain emphasis was bout being people centered and focus
After winning and Laying up.in bed with the international world her attention changed and as image building began one could see the change a new approach and a different dimension
Here in the Carribbean people love status
The puppeteers of the world’s economies knows how the small island mind works and can be manipulated
Today image was geared towards other small island leaders whose input would be necessary to get the changes necessary done a carrot was shown to them delivered in the image of Mottley
