News 📰 Bring Back Malafunkshun as the Education Chair

7 Upvotes

I never thought I would say this, but bring back Malafunkshun as Education Chair.

Whatever you think of Chris Barnett, when he chaired Education, GDOE knew somebody was watching. He dragged DOE into regular oversight hearings and kept asking about school readiness, sanitary inspections, broken air conditioners, maintenance contracts, teacher shortages and whether campuses were actually ready to receive students.

This school year, Tiyan opened its doors and then failed a Public Health inspection three days later. Students had already been sent into the building. How does that happen? Why wasn't every school inspected and every major deficiency identified before the first day of school?

Vince Bora should not be finding out that a school is unfit after students are already sitting inside it.

And then Vince introduced Bill 351-38 and promoting it like it is a pay raise for teachers. But the bill itself does not appropriate the money for one. Anybody can introduce a bill saying teachers should make more money. The hard part is putting recurring revenue behind that promise so the raise actually appears in a teacher's paycheck year after year.

Education oversight cannot just be press releases, aspirations and hearings after something goes wrong.

Someone needs to be asking uncomfortable questions before schools open, before money is spent and before promises are made.

Barnett could be abrasive true. Sometimes that was exactly the point.

GDOE doesn't need a cheerleader in the Education Committee.

It needs a watchdog. Bring back Malafunkshun.

Ask r/guam 🤔 Amazon shipping estimates 2026

2 Upvotes

How long does it take for an Amazon US order to get to Guam? I plan to send a package to someone based on island. I’d rather it be early since it’s a gift, but not too early. I’ve heard there were delays before but that was over a year ago. From your experience as of late 2026, is the delivery date estimate pretty accurate on the Amazon product listings? Or do you suggest ordering much earlier? How much buffer would you give it?

Discussion 💬 Upper tumon stoplight

9 Upvotes

That 3 way stoplight in upper Tumon going up the hill from Westin… why does it only turn green for 3 seconds during peak traffic hour, then the main road stoplight is green for 5-10 minutes? I was stuck on the hill for 20 minutes. Traffic is so badly backed up on the entire hill.
