"Sucks" is not PC but in measuring the Haitian education system it is pretty accurate and it made people respond and engage which was the intent. Anonymous's experiences of knowing intelligent Haitians are not something I can argue with or care to. I have plenty of intelligent Haitian friends and don't dispute their potential or their aptitude. However where or how they receive their education is something I feel I can, through experience and through the obvious state of the country, call into question. I firmly believe education is the hope for Haiti but until there is serious investment in schools, curriculum adjustments, teacher training, accountability, reduction of barriers to entry, and more Haiti will not be able to move forward. And not recognizing this verity only perpetuates the problem. So I don’t think because we know Haitians who are doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc. means the education system is ok (Anonymous doesn’t say this, in fact he/she admits the system needs fixing) but I think the current system doesn’t allow for nearly enough doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc. And although education is not the sole factor that can move Haiti forward I think the current system contributes to Haiti’s problems and restricts it from progressing. And that “sucks.”
