Bermuda schools beat US

August 10, 2009

Dear Sir,

I take exception to Mr. Slayton's criticism of our private schools in Bermuda. He obviously is not aware of the excellent examination results our Bermudian children achieve and the top universities they attend after leaving Saltus, Bermuda High School, Warwick Academy and our other private schools.

Our private school system is far superior to education in the US. Perhaps the problem was not the school. He really should have sent them to school in his home country.

This latest outburst is just another example of him speaking out about Bermuda when, as a guest diplomat, he should keep his mouth shut.
