JP, I can vouch for Laz's school system and the whole state he lives in actually. I used to live there. The problem used to be the massive corruption in the government (the state was mob run) and lots of funding didn't even get put into the schools. I'd guess that they have given up on the schools I used to go to (public schools in the middle of a crime ridden city, I'd give up on them too). The education is actually pretty decent though, even though you are using outdated equipment and such. When I moved out here to colorado, I realized that as much as the school system sucked, it was light years beyond the overfunded mess that the Thompson RJ-2 School distric is (the loveland, CO district). Out here in Algebra 2 + 3 (10th + 11th grade math) they treated quadratic equasions like they were brand new material (which apparently it was to all these ppl) and in my old school, I learned that in like 7th grade. Thus began the daily trials of:
Shab pulls out palm pilot/laptop/gameboy
Teacher waits till it seems like I'm not paying attention, "Solve this problem on the board"
Shab looks up, takes half a second to figure it out, gets it right, then resumes playing gameboy.
I'm pretty sure this is why I got away with doing whatever the hell I wanted in class (as long as I kept the volume low).
I actually attend a good school district were I live, and it's also got AP classes and a ton of extracurriculars. But too many people steal calculators and my school.
I suppose I should be grateful that nobody steals my school. You've got it really bad over there.
As for languages: we have to learn a foreign language, though now the requirement is much less (only about 3 years, down from 5). I think that should start before the age of 11, personally, as I believe most other countries do with English.

I make other people create vaporware
u know, we have a sound detector in every class in my school. If you talk too loudly, it goes red, and the teacher throws you out through the window. believe it!
Yeah, exams are getting even more meaningless. I actually blame it on the politics. People would just go on saying "My kid got straight A's for exam ___", and the other guy would say "Well, my kid got even more A's". So, to make newspapers happy, the government lowers the standards every year to keep up with the trend. Now every year, there's an increase of about 10% in the number of straight A students, even though every teacher and student knows that it's rigged. The few students that don't get straight A's get humiliated for years, even though all you need to do to get an A is to just do the same thing and not think about it. It's all a sham, just like the prison system. Except you're torturing innocent kids for votes, not criminals.
Personally, I think the whole system's screwed up because of the money. Generally the most greedy teachers get promoted to an administration position just because they show the most interest in it and less interest in teaching. Thus, they end up just making more and more rules to prove that they're doing something. And they justify the worthless rules on the need for 'discipline'. Hmm... same problem with almost everything else. Gah, screw writing books on the education system... I should write a book about how management and everything else in life should be simplified. People would have much easier lives if bureaucracy would just be quickened by letting you automatically fill forms with national identity cards.

All of these is a cause of masturbation... If your teachers will stop masturbate, they where became much smarter!
Masturbation add many weird ideas to therapysts, teachers, administrators and promoted workers... They might all like to masturbate often.
It's been saying that all these weird theories and decisions has been made in Greece as the first Greek dicovered masturbation... Same as the mentioned new football yard in one of JP's messages. They all probably like to masturbate often. Many founded people find it fun to do. I get mad when I do it. Others get mad because I did it. So I just stop. It just make the whole world crazy and our Lord laughs out loud when seeing this, when he see us masturbating. It also bring the tsunami!
Anyway we all must convince these guys to stop. It just makes them crazy. Post at educational forums, post it at workplace, note it to your grocer when you go to market, Tell all your girlfriends and your boyfriends.
It's just too dangerous! We must stop!!!
Australian schools seriously suck ass, I can tollerate most of my school sport ETC, but I cannont tollerate the ammount off assholes Australia seems to pump out during sport everythigns way to competetive and cause I seriously dont give a shit I normally end up dumping people away from the ball and going to get it and get told off for being 'too agressive' where as if I was doing that to WIN there would be no problem at all, sucks ass and also History I am sick to death of hearing people winge about Aboriginies... I dont care people at my school dont care, and realistaically not many people in Aus give a shit anymore, apart from Abos and the People that live around them
The only thing better than winning gold in the paralympics is not being retarted
I think Nastyman is seriously on to something here. I've heard that dolphins ejaculate with the force of a jackhammer, so if we lined a whole bunch of them up in the ocean and whacked them off at the same time, we could create tsunamis on command. The perfect weapon.
