Bill: Choice in Education Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: United Liberal Alliance
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 2172
Description[?]:
| Whilst there is obviously no majority for complete privatisation of the education system as it is known we would like, we certainly do wish to see the current system reformed in order to once again allow the private sector into the education sector. This act will therefore once again allow the private sector to provide educational services, but will maintain the state education services as well. |

| Message | speaking from experience.....private schools have more dedicated teachers. I should know...I live in Canada, the teachers in the public school don't care much....the teachers in Private school, keep pushing you to try and learn, and will personally help you. This is due to the fact, that is harder to fire public school teachers, but students who think a teacher isn't teaching well in a private school have the power to get the teacher kicked out. |

| Message | You guys should have watched ABC last night. They had a whole show about it. In a lot of private schools teachers are required to be on call 24/7 to their students. public ones dont. Private schools have to do well or they will close down. Public schools are open always. I so wish the US would go to private schooling. It also gives you choices of where to send your kids while in the US currently you are forced to go to a certain school in many cases. |
