Thank you so much! Yes, that is the problem. And in academia, money is being withheld, so there are even less positions available year after year.

Academia is floundering where it should have been the starting post to build on/from, more wasted opportunities blown to the wind.

So true, and I see it in front of my eyes on a daily basis. I do as much as possible, but when people are spoonfed or put through without doing the necessary work, you as educator cannot do anything.

If people wish to accept second best of themselves you cannot help them progress!

I am sorry for the week delay. I presented at a conference and the week was a bit crazy. I took a much-needed break as well to clear my mind. I hope you are doing well!

Survived another round of flooding, hopefully things settle again, otherwise all well thanks.

Again, I am so sorry for the late response. I hope that in this coming year I can adhere to a better schedule, for Hive, and my other endeavours.

I hope that everything is well, especially with the floods. Here in the Cape, we are experiencing so many fires at the moment. It saddens me to see so much of the beauty of the fynbos burning down...
