| Message | Which is, actually, going against your proposition. Government funding to a level at which all necessary skills for our populace are taught through public education will simply not happen. Private schools are required so as to teach certain languages and skills that the government cannot fund and continue to be economically viable - I don't see Mandarin Egelian being taught in our schools, but it will almost certainly be needed more frequently in business between our two nations. Your argument does not fit the proposition - Darnussia's children will be equipped with less skills if this bill passes. And as, as you have said before, public education is just as good as private education, our children will all have equally balanced skills while stopping our nation from turning into one full of young adults with only a small selection of skills. It is my belief that you have simply used this argument, spurting it midlessly and unthinkingly in the way of Socialists, to attempt to pass this dangerous and degenerating bill. [ :P ] |
