Amazing! First they cancell all special ed frameworks and force everyone
into the regular schools without providing proper support for the kids, then
they cancell all vocational frameworks, then they cancel all funding for the
different ministry programs that dealt with drop-outs and yourth who work
and then they decide to fine schools who can't keep kids who - through no
fault of theirs - can't manage to fit in to a regular, academic
framework and are so disruptive that they don't allow anyone else to learn.
After all that, they spend thousands or maybe millions establishing
committees to figure out why the ed system doesn't work and there are so
many youth on the streets. Then they begin reinstating all the frameworks
that they cancelled to begin with. Only now our society has a generation of
unemployable and disillusioned kids out there, whose needs were not answered
by the ed system. Not even a bit. Wonderful.
