Submitted for your approval. It's for the children. (To keep 'em out of our hair!)

Description: POSITED that an idle mind is the devil's playground; and

RESOLVED that children, as annoying and unpleasant as they are, are the obedient soldiers and quivering scientists of tomorrow; and

INSOFAR as, left to their own devices, said children will get their noses into things that don't concern them, such as investigating invading spaceships and messing with plans for Galactic Domination; and

NOTWITHSTANDING that said children are protected by wispy costumed bachelors with an uncanny knack for evading wands firing deadly negative scratches; and

CONSIDERING the benefits of locking and chaining said children to their schooldesks, which include greater learning comprehension and keeping their little noses out of trouble, be it resolved to

ESTABLISH Mandatory High-Intensity Schools, a.k.a. Cram Camps.

OBLIGED that all the world's children will be enrolled in said Camps from the ages of Four Years until Eighteen Years; and

FORMALIZED that their dress, demeanor, behavior and hygiene shall be determined by the Traditions of Ancient Warrior Code; and

SIGNIFYING that they shall be brought up to respect their elders, ancestors and Galactic Emperor; and

PROVEN that such an atmosphere will be beneficial to their education and increase their Value to the State; and

ADMITTED that those who do not thrive in said Camps can be easily identified and culled from the ranks of Apt Students;

CONCLUDED that, funded by the Government, said camps will be open and available to all regardless of circumstance; this resolution shall dictate the

ESTABLISHMENT of Mandatory, Government-Funded Cram Camps for All Children.

People become adults at the age of 14 in my nation. Would you still keep them in your camps once they atain adult-hood?

Can't support it.

There are already resolutions regarding free education for kids up until they are 18, and this proposal sounds more like sending kids to an abusive half-way house till they aren't so "annoying and unpleasent".

Besides, my nation's children are taught both in a school environment for half the day three times a week, and then at home by their family and their family's friends as they see fit. We are a family and community oriented nation, and this resolution would destroy our heritage.

OBLIGED that all the world's children will be enrolled in said Camps from the ages of Four Years until Eighteen Years; and

Sounds like my childhood.

Why would this need a UN resolution?

Vastiva is not a goddamned babysitter.

We will tacitly support a resolution requesting aid for this sort of thing, but a demand? FEH!!!

As to this part:


INSOFAR as, left to their own devices, said children will get their noses into things that don't concern them, such as investigating invading spaceships and messing with plans for Galactic Domination;

That sort of "messing around" lead to Gloss-Kote, one of the cornerstones of our civilization, and a major reason for expansion in the climate we exist in, in a safe manner.

We support unstructured time off for everyone.

Provisions could be made to transition the more well-behaved little brats into a useful, non-bothersome role in society once they become 14, yes. They would still have to wear school uniforms including those disturbing little shorts, though.

Unless you are being very sarcastic (to the point where I can't tell) your post leads me to oppose the proposal in a big way. Once someone becomes an adults they have to be treated as such, and this is not the way to do it.

Besides - it will never pass because of the other resolutions that deal with education.

This sounds like you want to put all children in a concentration camp for 14 years, train them up to be brainwashed robots, and only the "fit" ever leave.

Yes kids make mistakes, get into things they should'nt, and can be annoying, but thats just part of childhood, and is a vital part of the learning process.

As a democratic nation, Crydonia could never support something like this.

After reading your proposal Kervoskia will not support this proposal at it seems to deprive the minor of a childhood and sentences them to a child-life of work. This could deeply harm their individual freedom.

I love how we're all responding to this like Krankor is actually serious (please tell me you're not serious).
