The Bahamas Government. What Chutzpah

Our Government has an educational system that sends students into the the work force with a D average.

Then it releases the increased immigration fees (Tribune, July 15/08) which tells us that we either hire these students who cannot spell, read, write or figure a percentage or pay an exorbitant fee for someone who can.

A stenographer  $5000   Should be able to understand English when spoken properly

A girl Friday!     $3000   Should know the alphabet

A receptionist   $3000    Should be able to answer the telephone and chew gum at the same time

Am I the only one who sees the irony?
