| Message | I don't support all of this because of the Proposal under Article 2. Education for any one under the adult age should be mandtory, over the adult age voulntearly. Also, Article 3: Teachers should have rights to discipline children, I would say the schools can set the levels like it is not but it is being watched by the Government. |
