A political issue

So are you in favor of them allowing discussion of this in schools/colleges or against it? Why? Personally, I am shocked that they would introduce something to do with British empire. Kids already have enough trouble speaking that language. And if it is death/afterlife, then I don't think so, as some people are highly thanatophobic, and the teacher could get sued from a panicking student! Opinions!

Gets confusing when people use same acronyms for different things (for example: DS can equal Dream Sharing or even Dual Screen) We can still do for and against it on that, though!

What do you mean they're having trouble speaking the language?

Nes, come on, seriously that video containing so much information that you didn't even know what it was about It's a foreign education system in a foreign country what the hell do I have to do with it my opinion of it means squat

Well, I'll give an opinion. As a student who wants to become a teacher, I don't really care for it. There is one major thing I don't like. Think about the levels, 1 through 8. According to this, some kids could be in the 7th grade at lvl 6 in math, and others lvl 2 in math. They'll still be in the same classes, but one will be much slower than the other. And you are not supposed to compare them! That's all school is about. You have honors courses, normal courses, and remedial courses. Kids from honors and remedial courses shouldn't be thrown together and given different work and be assigned different lvls because that's what the honors/remedial is for. No offense, but if you don't belong in an honors course, than you shouldn't be in one. And another thing. How are they supposed to know what lvl you are supposed to be at in a particular grade if they dont compare you to others? And you should be held to standards. You should have to be this good, or else you are not good enough and you will be told that YOU FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!! If they do this in Florida I'm gonna be sooooooo pissed!
