The Level of Education!

The system is set up to keep the people ignorant, half those teaching are not capable of thinking within -the- box, never mind out -of-the-box. This way those politicians can do as they please without the people complaining or crimping their style.

That's why I think only if a revolution happens, can we hope for things to change in this country.

According to the World Bank, The DR is privileged to share with Nicaragua, the two first places in Latin America with the highest secondary (high) school desertion rate.

You know, it's rather perplexing that the country of Cuba has one of the highest literacy rates in the entire world yet it's doubtful their standard of living is any better than that of illiterate Dominicana!.. Go figure!!

I'm not too sure it would be much worse, health care, education and all. And considering you know, the embargo, with what should be their natural trading partner, I think they're doing alright.

A socialist revolution. I would be all for it if one day Castro or Chavez decides to invade the DR. I think our country will have dignity and our people will have what we really need : Education and Healthcare.

The way I think about the future of DR, is that we will either have a Pinochet or a Castro to strengthen things up.

What I'm alluding to is the fact that education alone does not guarantee prosperity.
Funnyvale's comment about a "revolution" brought to mind the fiasco that the communist system is. It does, however, has it's good aspects. If we had Cuba's educational and health care systems in place, DR's GNP could be the highest in Latin America.

Dude, which is more important: 1) education/healthcare or 2) freedom? How many thousands did Castro butcher and imprison for the last 45+ years before the population became tranquil?

I hope dv8 weighs in with her opinions. SHE grew up under Communism.

Too much freedom is a bad thing, IMO at least for our culture, since it's so corrupted. Our people NEED to be controlled so that we can rescue the little that is left of our society.
