HOUSE BILL: Return Education To the Regions Act (Passed - Sent to the VP/PPT)

[OneJ]

I also like the bill, but I think this bill could address some specifics.

1. Which specific Core subjects must High schoolers take?
2. Would there be state tests?
3. What will be the pathway to graduation of high school?
4. Etc.

I think this idea is a fundamentally good one, but I would like to see a better-defined timetable for the transition, or at least some kind of NPC commission to create one.

I'm also not totally clear on who handles education in Atlasia. Would this move the responsibility from the states to the regions, or from the Fed to the regions? Or is it already regionally handled? *looks fleetingly at the resident historian/house speaker*

I haven't seen anything education-related in Atlasia at all.

Maybe I can introduce legislation to put forth office(s) in regards to education.

I think there have been bills at the regional level.

Pre-reset there was some significant regional level action on education in the Northeast of all places, under then Governor Scott.

If he is still interested in the issue, he would be a good Senator to collaborate with on education, of course he is also has healthcare on his plate.

Oh good! I'll find some time to speak with him.

Again, I like the bill and would support it.

I'd prefer there to be less requirements, and a course for the choice of the student. (In order for the student to get basic knowledge of the occupation they want to have)

Enduro, you have a pretty good point. Students should be able to take courses that are relevant to their career choice.

What subjects are you wanting me to drop from the required subjects, because Math and English are essential for almost any career path as well as a basic science course.  I am willing to cut back on the History/SS requirement, (but I still believe it is important that students learn something about their basic government structure, history of their country and world), and add in a requirement of a home economics
class or something. Anyways I would really like to reach a final agreement on this bill soon. 

Well, I'm not suggesting cutting back on anything, but was I just saying that Enduro did make a point.

[OneJ]

I think allowing more regional choice would be a good step.

[OneJ]

I motion for a final vote on this bill, seing no further debate.

[OneJ]

How much can we cut, guys?

I say 20%, anyone else?

So specifically where are we cutting from?

[OneJ]

As of now, I see nothing to add or subtract from this bill so I don't have any objections.

[OneJ]

Well we don't currently have a national department of education, so maybe we could add that? The only problem is the title "Return Education to the Regions".

[OneJ]

I'm not even the sponsor of this bill.

My main concern is cutting the budget. What is the budget for education as of right now?
