The Education State
1 [15:14:14] <Canjo> I think we should reform our educational system
2 [15:14:20] <Canjo> Kids today don't learn what's really important
3 [15:14:32] <Canjo> In my Education State, learning will be seven days a week, 365 days a year
4 [15:14:55] <Away> 24 hours a day
5 [15:15:03] <Away> 59 minutes an hour
6 [15:15:13] <Away> they get a one minute break at the end of each hour
7 [15:15:24] <Canjo> Every day kids will have a 5 hour class of physics, 5 hours of Civic Values, and 10 hours of hard labor
8 [15:15:39] <Canjo> When you complete a semester unit in a course you will be rewarded with one liter of whiskey
9 [15:16:03] <Away> I'm not sure if this society is very efficient
10 [15:16:04] * Away is now known as Jeff
11 [15:16:04] <Canjo> The Education State is mandatory for children age 3 to 22
12 [15:16:18] <Canjo> After that, people will be ready to enter the world as good citizens
13 [15:16:41] <Canjo> The only holiday will be February 29th
14 [15:16:56] <Canjo> On that day everyone will get a free liter of whiskey
15 [15:17:07] <MewMewtwo45> What's with the whiskey
16 [15:17:14] <Canjo> It will cheer up the Pupils
17 [15:17:27] <Canjo> If they are opposed to alcohol they may have orange juice instead
18 [15:17:34] <Canjo> But peer pressure to drink will be intense
19 [15:17:48] <Spacecow> but the orange juice will still have a little alcohol in it
20 [15:17:53] <Canjo> Of course
21 [15:18:01] <Canjo> They won't know that though
22 [15:18:48] <Canjo> the Education State will occupy the entirety of the country of Germany
23 [15:19:04] <Canjo> I will be the Supreme Superintendent
24 [15:19:09] <Canjo> Berlin will be one huge principal's office
25 [15:19:34] <Canjo> made entirely of iron
26 [15:19:42] <Jeff> Much like a prison
27 [15:19:54] <Canjo> Perhaps
28 [15:20:07] * Yumblie has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
29 [15:20:16] <Jeff> And your office itself will have a very very long table in an elaborate room, and you will sit on one and of the table and the child in question will sit all the way at the other end
30 [15:20:35] <Jeff> And you will be very strict in your judgement of the child
31 [15:20:39] <Canjo> There will be scary paintings of the Founders looking very severe on the walls
32 [15:20:51] <Canjo> And a candelabra
33 [15:21:15] <Jeff> Will you have a torture chamber?
34 [15:21:30] * Yumblie has joined #banjo-kazooie
35 [15:21:30] * Colliwobble sets mode: +oq Yumblie Yumblie
36 [15:21:32] <SuperKoopa> duuu
37 [15:21:41] <Canjo> No. We will use solitary confinement and sensory disorientation, no torture.
38 [15:22:18] <Jeff> And what of the children who do exceptionally well?
39 [15:22:36] * Dragon-Work is now known as DragonGreenR
40 [15:22:51] <mancalamania> Where shall the children sleep?
41 [15:22:56] <Canjo> They will receive gold stars to wear on their uniforms
42 [15:23:03] <Canjo> There will be barracks
43 [15:23:15] <MewMewtwo45> But Canjo, having not gone through this school yourself (and not of the age to be finished with the school), are you not worried that some of the excelling students may eventually become educated enough to overthrow you?
44 [15:23:42] <Canjo> In their Civic Values class they will learn that overthrowing authority figures only leads to pain and misery
45 [15:24:03] <MewMewtwo45> But what if they do not learn it well
46 [15:24:13] <SuperKoopa> what would these children eat
47 [15:24:26] <Canjo> Bread and water
48 [15:24:43] <SuperKoopa> Where would they eat
49 [15:24:48] <SergeantJamJars> What do the children do for leisure?
50 [15:24:50] <Canjo> In the local Cafeteria
51 [15:24:57] <Canjo> There is no time for leisure!
52 [15:25:04] <Canjo> 20 hours are occupied by class and hard labor
53 [15:25:09] <Canjo> The remaining 4 hours are for sleep
54 [15:25:20] <Vorpy> they get a bottle of whisky and a day off one every four years
55 [15:25:26] <Vorpy> that is more than enough leisure
56 [15:25:31] <Canjo> Yes.
57 [15:26:12] <Canjo> I know all of you have been harboring World Domination plans
58 [15:26:29] <Canjo> If one of you should ever come to be ruler of the world I believe my Education State could be of service
59 [15:27:03] <Spacecow> What is the point of all this, Canjo. What will you gain.
60 [15:27:18] <MewMewtwo45> Hooray. I will come to you for all of my education needs after taking control of the world
61 [15:27:30] <Vorpy> Canjo is altruistically providing this excellent education
62 [15:27:32] <SuperKoopa> What will their religion be? Will they worship God Canjo?
63 [15:28:04] <Vorpy> Giving away gold stars to the best students is his reward
64 [15:28:19] <mancalamania> I surely do hope the Education State is not severely understaffed, as mutinies will surely happen semi-daily
65 [15:29:26] <SuperKoopa> And lastly, what will you call this educational reformation?
66 [15:30:26] <Jeff> What will they do when they graduate
67 [15:30:27] <Canjo> I will run the Education State because I am dedicated to the idea of discipline and good education in the next generation of youth
68 [15:30:38] <Canjo> When they graduate they will leave the Education State and enter society
69 [15:30:51] <Canjo> There will be no religion.
70 [15:31:14] <Canjo> The physics class will serve to demonstrate the power of science and the human spirit in nature, as opposed to silly supernatural explanations.
71 [15:32:04] <Jeff> Can I be your second-in-command
72 [15:32:08] <DJ> !dixie
73 [15:32:10] <MewMewtwo45> Q. What is our government called? A. Three parts of it.
74 [15:32:19] <Canjo> Ok
75 [15:32:24] <Jeff> :)
76 [15:32:25] <Canjo> I must go
77 [15:32:31] <Canjo> Farewell, pupils
78 [15:32:32] <Jeff> Good luck
79 [15:32:33] <SergeantJamJars> !dixie
