Since I mentioned the subject yesterday and always say that education has declined in Europe and the United States (probably in Canada, too), , I really ought to explain myself. To my mind, this represents the perfect education. This is meant as a guide from elementary (primary) through high (secondary) school, so some courses will depend on the age of the students. M means mandatory while o means optional. As for university, my belief is that, unlike a vocational school, it should be primarily a place of learning, not merely of obtaining employment. Therefore, the continuation of some of these courses should be encouraged. Also, I believe in proper dress, addressing teachers respectfully, etc.
