Wonderful, just wonderful! Learning Creative writing and poetry at a young age will teach children how to express themselves in College/University; also in adulthood and especially in their working and business environment.
Many of Brixtonian’s SENSIBLE followers will not be surprised to know, that understanding such crafts – as well as other important educational skills – has led me to an independent and successful career, not only in the business world, but also in knowing how to pursue additional passive incomes as well.
Gaston will NEVER teach Antiguans about how to make money whilst you sleep! NEVER!!!
All he want to promote is SUBSERVIENT working practices for Tiguans 🇦🇬 in the hospitality sector. Tarl!
However, a wonderful start for these Antiguan children. Just greaaat!

Especially the 1st, 2nd and last paragraphs; and the other paragraphs is just a reflection that Antigua requires better leadership – you sound subservient so till!
