[DRAFT] Education for Mentally Disabled Children (bumped)

[Fauxia]

“Against because of the public school clause.”

OOC: I don’t know if there’s a GA resolution that requires a public education system, but I don’t care in the context of this proposal.”

“Against because of the public school clause.”

"Exactly what about which public shcool clause are you objecting to?" Johan asked, raising an eyebrow.

OOC: I don’t know if there’s a GA resolution that requires a public education system

OOC: GA #80, A Promotion of Basic Education doesn't exactly require a public education system but it does require nations to provide education to their people...

[The Bible Baptist Republic]

OOC: Overall, I like the proposal and can not think of an in character reason to object so I'll keep this all OOC. The only thing that I find awkwardly phrased is: 1.d. "a "mentally challenged student" as a child who has been evaluated by medical specialists to suffer from at least one of the learning challenges, Personally think it would flow better as "...at least one learning challenge" but that's just my personal taste in writing style.

OOC: The reason I use "the ... challenges" is that it's trying to be a reference to the ones that were defined in 1.c., rather than any old learning challenge.

OOC That makes sense. A good well written proposal is like a unicorn these days, good job. And thanks for your help.

[The Aquarian Islands]

As soon as the Aquarian president finishes reading the proposal, he takes off his round glasses and reflects a bit on what he just read.

"Well, I have a question regarding this. What if the country's age of majority is low as 10 or 12? I can see this spoiling a bit the point of your assembly proposal in the eyes of some voters."

A lot of nations don't do that through public schools though, and for nations that don't have a public school curriculum the clause is nonsensical.

[Araraukar]

"Well, I have a question regarding this. What if the country's age of majority is low as 10 or 12?"

"What of it?" Johan asked. "Nations are free to set their age of majority according to existing legislation. Nothing in this proposal requires that age to be set at any specific number of years"

A lot of nations don't do that through public schools though, and for nations that don't have a public school curriculum the clause is nonsensical.

OOC: Then, as usual, if you don't have X and legislation says you neeed to do Y with X, you don't need to do Y. Also, I highly doubt that the majority of nations don't have any kind of public school system. However, consider this noted for future.

[Principality of the Raix]

After reviewing the proposal and thinking on the points made on the factors of countries that do not do education programs, if one reads the proposal it states "home schooling" allowing even countries without education programs to participate. Seeing as many countries without schools normally do home school in some form or in a community form. Knowing this, I could support this. However, the financial strain behind such would make it debatable on being able to do it within some countries. However, that is only my opinion of it. Otherwise, I like it.

[Araraukar]

[Araraukar]

OOC: Bumping this one up too, because it looks like TNEO is back and we need to decide how to handle this.

EDIT: And from looking at the post date stamps I think my "soon" is somewhat stretchy a concept...

[The New European Order]

Yeah, how is this gonna work? I'm back.

[Araraukar]

Yeah, how is this gonna work? I'm back.

OOC: We'll talk in TGs.

[Xmara]

“Hm, interesting resolution. I like this resolution and I shall approve of it.”

[The New European Order]

Greene: You have my support! It’s almost like I’ve tried something... WAIT A MINUTE!

Smith: Hush, Greene. We sorted it out already, and its been decided that we reliquished the right to draft this the same time Garnati and Freigebig military forces invaded and killed every member of the Gonzalez administration. We’re back though, for good hopefully, so our journey will simply continue elsewhere.

[Araraukar]

OOC: I probably won't do anything with this until after 1st of January. Social calendar is a bit busy at this time of the year.

[Araraukar]

OOC: Bumping this up again to ask for help to see if it's still relevant (hasn't been addressed) and what, if any, changes are necessary.

“I’m not sure what is meant by clause 1e with ‘all the learning challenges’. Is this a challenge in every area of education or possessing every possible difficulty in learning? The latter seems almost impossible to actually exist.”

OOC: The reason I use "the ... challenges" is that it's trying to be a reference to the ones that were defined in 1.c., rather than any old learning challenge.

OOC EDIT: If it looks like it's honestly hard to understand, rather than just eyes skipping over a line, I might think of a way to make it a bit clearer...

[Honeydewistania]

Huge support for this

(OOC: I think it was just my eyes being lazy. With that cleared up, I have full support for this.)

OOC: Could I bother you to do a grammar/spelling sweep of it, please?

OOC: Could I bother you to do a grammar/spelling sweep of it, please?

(OOC: And, done. In clause 1b, 'specialized' should be 'specializing'. Also, you have a comma after 'child' in clause 1e but not in clause 1d, which isn’t incorrect but does look strange. The semicolon after 'education' in clause 2c should be a comma, as what follows isn't a sentence by itself; the same applies to the semicolon after 'understanding' in clause 3. That’s everything I could find.)
