Hello, due to the fact that all of my previous resolutions have been torn apart i would like help writing a resoultion to make all public high schools in the UN open at 8:30 or later.

They weren't "torn apart", they were looked at by the membership.

Such as this proposal - as Vastiva's scholastic system functions 24/7 (owing to regional realities as we're on the South Pole), forcing us to open at some set time would mean a huge problem in student motion.

We would ask why this proposal would be of International Scope, and what you're trying to accomplish by it.

How about school could not open untill 17/48th of the day had passed. Such a resoultuion would increase test scores and improve over all teen health.

This would also cover regiongs on other planets. However, it could be appealed by a region to gain a special exception due to abnormal days, calendar, phycilogy,light hours, habit of said speices or anyother reason thjat by a commities point of view could be considered a justified reason. I guess i will hav eto put a apeals commitee into the resolution.

Don't try and standardise things as minor as school opening times. You admit yourself that whatever standard you enforce will be unsuitable for a large number of UN members, so what's the point in writing a resolution, only to have all those who weren't previously following the idea anyway turn round and appeal?

EDIT: I'm sure you have bigger ideas about how the world should be run than this. Why not try and get one of those put into a proposal, or revisit one of those ideas you tried before and revise the proposal according to the criticism you received?

Too much detail for the UN to be effective in dealing with.
