Message | Most parties didn't want an age of 21 which would make it compulsory for a student to attend college. So we lowered it to 18. It benefits both society and the student to get a high school education. It is very difficult for anyone without this level of education to better themselves and Cildania gains from a better educated populace. Second rather than have a blanket ban on teachers disciplining their student we are letting the schools themselves set the discipline policies they feel are most effective. This way the parents and teachers together based on their community needs and their community standards what is the best way to enforce discipline in the school. |

Message | I disagree with Article I, which would prevent the individual from entering the work force if he felt he had learned all he needed by 16. As to Article II, I could support it if it were on its own. If schools lack discipline, they might as well not exist, because the students will learn exactly as much (or less) as they would left to their own devices. They will also be taught the lesson that there are no consequences to bad behavior. |

Message | Damn it MLHF! Stop proposing bills that I can almost pass and start proposing some I can pass! I would support raising the age to 18 but I can not support corperal punishment in schools. |

Message | JLC, your party had seemed (mostly) libertarian up until now. How can you support forcing individuals to remain in school? Especially past the age where this nation has decided adulthood begins. |
