Reader comments:

• McKeeva Bush obviously NEVER learned the adage "Oh what tangled webs we weave, when first we practice to deceive". The "back door" status grants are going to backfire in more than one area of Caymanian life, and none of it will be to our benefit. Without question, it should be a matter of the established students, who have been attending the school(s) for at least five years, or born Caymanians who are just entering, to have the utmost priority over these recent children who have just acquired eligibility through the Status bash, or marriage of convenience - Eyes Wide Open Caymanian
  
   
• Isn't this an interesting article? How appropriate after The Dart Group has offered to build a new school for CIS and the key comments by Roy Bodden - "However, Mr Bodden said that he hopes all children here can enjoy what the new school will have to offer. “I would not wish to see any exclusivity at the school, which means that it would be out of reach for Caymanians,” he said. “I believe schools should reflect the population of a society. It should reflect all the shades of the community.” I guess as an expat, we can enroll our kids at the other schools Roy? - Humoured
  
   
• I think that the government should have known better, and now is going to let the whole island suffer - Rachel Jackson
  
   
• Is there any chance of moving to the Caymans and enrolling my 13 year old daughter in school? - Dr Bill Bretton
  
   
• Told you so! If you don’t hear, you will feel - Anonymous
  
   
• If there are additional students entering the system it is likely that additional teachers will be required. I am a teacher of English Language and Literature with a Bachelor's Degree and I am seeking employment for September 2004 - Alesha Jackson
