Protests in Zagreb

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

As I was expecting the situation in your country is not too different from my own. You should have sayed that in the original post. 
I do think that the government should invest heavily in education but as thing are now, I Don t want some people that lack competency to be enriched for uneducating children.

But don't you think that, if the government invests more in schools, our education system will be even more full of Nazi propaganda? For instance, my history textbook tells me that most scientists agree that Great Flood happened. It also tells me that, during the Holocaust, many Jews tortured and killed other Jews. And the Massacre of Vukovar is barely mentioned (the fact that a Serbian guy who organized it, Željko Ražnatović, was later convicted, isn't mentioned, neither is the fact that global media accused the Croatian president Franjo Tuđman of intentionally refusing to give weapons to the soldiers), and Massacre of Varivode isn't mentioned at all. Maybe only private schools should be allowed to teach history, since public schools are so full of propaganda. And private schools would probably teach more useful stuff than Latin.

That's all well and good, but you're going to feel a right nitwit when the day comes that there aren't enough Poetry Analyzation Specialists to meet the demand.  Fewer PAS means the price to get your poems analyzed is going to skyrocket.  Even worse, it's going to be a boon to the black market in poem analyzation.

I am not sure what you mean. Public schools don't teach you enough to publish papers, if anything, they teach us just enough to get into trouble.

Probably because it's fecking Zagreb.

I am not sure what you mean. By the way, what do you think the name Zagreb means? I think it comes from Messapian *Zigurevos, from "zis" (God) and "gures" (hill), so that it means "God's hill".

Of COURSE public schools don't teach enough to publish papers, but so what?  The idea is to instill or encourage in young minds the passion and drive to analyze poetry.  Then, they can go on to university, take their degree in Poetry Analyzation and change the world.

Thanks for telling me what 'Zagreb' means, I never knew that.  The name of my home town translates to 'the middle townlands' and the name of my capital city means (more or less) 'the river mouth nearest the sandbar'.

Cool, huh?
