Education Enforcement Act
CHRISTMAS BAY (PNN) -- In accordance with the Senate passing of G.A.R. 1200, the "Juvenile Education Enhancement Act of 2005", and a Supreme Court ruling (Johnson v. Christmas Bay Education Department) affirming that the law was within the bounds of Pilot's constitutional law, the nation of Pilot has begun a policy of mandatory school attendance and enforcement around the country. Student registration records have been federalized and a special unit of the National Guard has been established to ensure that all eligible students are registered and attending school on all school days. Attendance policy itself has been taken from local school boards and placed in the hands of the Department of Education, with students being allowed only ten (10) absences from school during the 180-day year.
Saint Nicolas University Sociology Professor Richard Dawkins believes that the mandate is impractical and puts and unfair burder on local governments to comply with demands by the federal government to register every eligible student and even if they could, enforcing it could be even more damaging in different ways. "You just can't expect every school advisory committee to produce accurate lists of children who are living in their town, especially with the rate of families packing up and moving around Pilot. Also, this won't help the kids in the long run. Instead of them being disinterested with school at home, they'l be disinterested with school at school - only there, they can disrupt classrooms and could hamper willing students from getting a real day's worth of learning". Education Head Michael Minnow disagreed with the influencial professors claim, saying that grounded scientific reports say that with this policy, in a few generations, Pilot will challenge Edolia and other nations on the top rung of the U.N. "Smartest People" rankings for the number one spot. Upon news of the new bill being signed by President David Mitchell, the Democrats' approval rating dipped to 43% from 57% - a 15% drop.
Opinion among those lives affected is obviously slanted against the new law: 75% of the student population disagree with the government's decision and only 23% are in agreement. 2% either showed indifference or though the decision would not affect them at all. Parents of students are sharply divided with 53% of the nation's adults feel that the enforcement will benefit Pilot and the welfare of its future generations, 47% disagree.
The bill will go into effect at the beginning of the new school year as the government prepares lists and the Senate appropriates funding for the program. The General Accounting Office of the National Government (GAONG) says the mandate will cost the federal and local governments a combined amount of about six hundred billion Pilotan dolllars. The risk of an unfunded mandate is null here, unlike most Senate bills, because the articles have a clause that prevents the law from going into effect unless the program has the maximum amount of funding and all attendance and registration lists have been completed.
Whether or not the program will work will be long in the waiting, but many around the nation of Pilot are both confident and uneasy about the federal government stepping into education reform with such force.
