       How controversial would an education bill be? Like establishing
       appropriate standards amongst States so that we can reach a
       common understanding of each other? Or at least reduce culture
       shock that is undoubtedly present in the various cultures
       present here.

       Was that an honest opinion or just a joke?

       I honestly think it will be highly contentious.

       So we couldn't compromise? I'm not just pushing an agenda, I do
       want to compromise.

       Perhaps a compromise such as registering state-wide curricula,
       but I don't think that mandating a standard from the confederal
       gov't will go over well with a large segment of the NCSA.

       Would you personally be against this?

       The original thing: yes. The compromise: maybe, it depends on
       the details.

       I mean would it really be that much to ask that states teach
       foreign languages, teach foreign cultures, and ensure that
       children have the right to an education?

       Asking and forcing are different things.  Frijstaat is a
       multicultural and multilingual society, should they need to
       learn more languages than other monolingual states?  Also, how
       long is the term 'child' applicable?  Kindergarten? Elementary?
       High school? Bachelor's? PhD?
       I could probably get behind a voluntary ranking system that
       would put state ed. systems in competition with one another and
       would help to draw students to high performing areas and
       convince lower performing ed. systems to innovate.
