Jason, whenever I do well, in any endeavour, I'm my mother's son. But whenever I do poorly, I'm always my father's son. That's the way my mother sees things LOL. People love to be associated with success; it's natural.

Some students will ALMOST ALWAYS survive the short-comings of their inherited educated systems. Take for instance Saint Lucia: we claim two Nobel prize laureates, but that is not because their educational foundation IN SAINT LUCIA may have been all that superior compared to other countries at the same stage of development ... then.

And remember this: These two travelled abroad and resided there for some time, where (overseas) they were awarded by those overseas institutions, the distinctions (masters, doctorates etc) that made those Nobel prize awards possible!

(Mercifully, they were not bombarded and exposed to all the moronic talk-show hosts like we have on radio and TV today.)

Needless-to-say, that many many students will have survived the nonsensical boast of "Fairty-schools" Bousquest, Saint John Compton, the Messiah's choice for Minister of Education for umpteen years!

So much for foresight, insight and vision!

Some of us will be perceptive enough to understand that the simple provision of school houses or places (without an inspired or supportive curriculum, adequate school materials, and trained teachers a.k.a., in some of the education literature as "holding pens"), does not support, nor is it aligned with the empty and rhetorical Saint John Compton's pronouncement, of following the Taiwanese model of economic development.

Today, Taiwan is world-class leader in technology.

Idiots in Saint Lucian government ... even in the very recent past ... remain moored to the sunset industry of primary banana production, where the level of applied, meaning, incorporated technology is still largely the cutlass, the hoe, and the garden fork.

According to the calypsonian, the Mighty Chalkdust, "White people laughing at we!"

The "one size fits all syndrome" is the problem I have with teachers......they want to treat all children as though they are all on the same level not catering to their individual needs.....for example with two (2) of my kids both at infants level I was told they have learning problems and advised me to get them to 'a school for learning disabilities' I refused to do that....I hired someone to work with them on an evening after school and they both stayed in the normal school system and went on to College....and as u rightly said the teachers wanted to take credit for "their" successful students!
So my advice to parents is that you have to step up where your kids education are concerned....what you cannot help them with, if you can afford hire someone to tutor them.....at the end of the day its your kids and you have to do what's best for them until the education system stops failing them....

Plain. The nation is seeing new breeds of all sorts. People who get into employment with nothing else but money and how to short change an already labouring system. Teaching is one of the noblest of professions and the caliber of we have today ...nonetheless, there are thankfully many great ones lost amongst the stats..
