This delegation has a few problems with this proposal.

Firstly, what "scientific studies"? My government has forwarded to me their disappointment that they were made unaware of any scientific study made in Sanctaria. While it's not a requirement, it is polite. We also have a problem with the addition of "average aged student". What is an average aged student. In Sanctaria, for example, a person of any age can go back to school, be it primary, secondary or tertiary education.

Secondly, it must be noted that some national education systems may have a completely different grading system than the one mentioned in the proposal. While Sanctaria does use the A-NG scale for grading, some countries may not. This would also need to be addressed.

Thirdly, your proposal seems to go outside it's boundaries slightly with the following: "including giving a fair wage to the teachers, janitors, and administrators running the school." We here in the Sanctarian delegation fail to understand how the giving of fair wages fall under the catagory of Education and Science, and more specifically, under the area of "Artistic".

Fourthly, the acronym WAEC is already in use and also, personally, this Ambassador is against the creation of another Committee designed solely to dish out funding. We feel this could be more streamlined by using the WA General Fund.

Due to these reasons, the Sanctarian delegation cannot support this proposal.

Yours.,

Description: The General Assembly,


Should be World Assembly, or WA.

Scientific studies have successfuly shown that an increase in Fine Arts funding (Music, Drama, Art, and Band) improves the grades of the average student in any School that offer classes in Social Studies, Language Arts (Spelling), Foreign Language, Mathematics, etc. Fine Arts classes also improve the manners of a average aged student by teaching them that they must take care of something that is not theirs.


Um... support? This sounds like a load of BS to me.

RECOGNIZING that a school that does not have these classes avalible DECREASES the chance of the average student getting into a University or other advanced schools.


Again, I see no support for this claim... What if a child wants to go to an engineering school? Is not having Fine Arts going to hurt them there.

If school funding for Fine Arts does not increase, then schools will have less and less Straight A students which will decrease the amount of people getting a good education, affecting their future success.


Again, no support and this clause is very redundant.

Therefore be it Resolved That,

The World Assembly Education Committee (WAEC) be established to increase funding for the average school and fund each School District and its curriculum, including giving a fair wage to the teachers, janitors, and administrators running the school.


What the f*ck does this have to do with fine arts?

Also recognizing that Fine Arts should be added to School Districts which do not have Fine Arts in their curriculum, supported with significant funding for paintbrushes, paint, musical instuments, sheets of music, books on acting, and teachers.


The red part is somewhat of a loophole.

Also providing constuction workers to build any extra rooms needed and giving them the materials and wages as required.


Um... okay. This is assuming that school just can't hire them with the funds you give to them.

Hearby establishing the WAEC and increasing the amount of funding in Fine Arts.


Again, redundant and un-needed.

Overall, I am not in favor of this legislation because I feel it is largely unecessary and because of the loophole, schools could exploit WA funding.

As far as I am aware, you are permitted to use "The General Assembly" in the introductory text of a WAGA proposal. There is precedent.

There were at least 12 proposals passed since the introduction of the SC as a seperate body of the WA starting with "The General Assembly". I think the author can use it freely.

The idea is not to help by assisting you in writing it, unless you specifically ask for it, but to provide criticism. I believe that I provided some constructive criticism on the matter by criticising some of your clauses, but also suggesting some omissions and/or additions.

Perhaps you should read each reply carefully.

If all it does is establish a Committee, then the proposal would be illegal.

I also note that while you cry for "help", you ignore all that is given.

....you have got to be kidding me.

I suggest you read up on the World Assembly before trying to write a proposal.

Why can't we just make suggestions to your own draft? Why would we make drafts just to have another (ungreatful) author just put thier name on it?

Why should we make our own drafts to give to you to take credit for? If we create a draft, why should we give it to you to propose? That doesn't seem very fair.
