Title:

Description: Due to a failing educational system, you have asked your staff to come up with some radical solutions to help improve your national testing scores.

Validity: For nations who spend little on Civil or Social Programs.

Options:

[option] “You seem oddly surprised by this,” remarks @@RANDOMNAME@@, “I work for the Department of Education for a long time, and I declared this outcome as inevitable to due to our close-mindness on the issue. The only possible solution is privatization. An educational system without healthy competition will always fail. Oh, and we can make money. Lots and lots of beautiful @@CURRENCY@@. And think of the children or whatever.”


[option] @@RANDOMNAME@@ stares at you angrily before answering, “Why do I think the test scores as so low? What do you expect to happen when you don’t fund public education? Give us the budget we request for even just a short time, and you will see some dramatic improvements in education.”


[option] Your brother, Rufus Barry smiles as he answers, “I own being smart, and I’m not even haven gone to school. Whatever. It’s all cool.”





I want to know how people feel about the issue, if the last one is too drastic for others what they would recommend, and if I need to add a fourth option. Thanks for your help.

I havent thought of a title yet, sorry.

It's hard to comment without knowing the possible effects of the options, especially the last one.

Well, I like to keep the outcomes somewhat open. But the boradoutcomes is how an issue should bre written I think. 1) is Privitazation. 2) is more public funding. 3) is to find school less important, lowered social concern ocver education.

What about a hybrid option of business funding or partially funding certain institutions or projects?

Also, an option that involves motivating teachers, which results in them using unconventional teaching methods (which could be very effective, or totally detrimental, depending on your effect decision).

Thank for the ideas why I posted here. Will consider this, re-work it, and try to submit tonight, thanks.
