I had a long conversation with a fellow Belizean this morning about
why Belizeans are forging ahead in education and the United States is falling
behind. There was a picture on face book this morning showing local business (Chaa
Creek Resort) donating money to the cause of education in the form of supplies.
The picture was of small children all clutching their new precious little
books. I look at the feelings and sentiment behind this program and then look the
expression on their faces in this photo and you can see why. Perhaps more import
was the expressions of appreciation on the faces of the teachers. In the United
States, the people are massively cutting funding to education—to save them a
few dollars by cutting taxes—because they believe they are the best in the world.
Contrast that with Belize where the people do not have the money to pay taxes.
I have big news for the Untied States; I prefer the Belizean attitude any day.
