| Message | This new-age, touchy-feely system whereby everyone passes their way through school as long as they are "creative" should finally be retired in favour of proven systems which actually test the ability of students. Under the proposed, students' will actually be required to learn. They will be required to actually demonstrate some ability before being allowed to pass. Only with such a system can employers hope to have some understanding of what students can do. Only with such a system can we ensure our children are achieving. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
