The teachers should be decided by the educational reformers, a body of these 50 wisest and most well-educated people of the country that I told you about earlier. Direct voting on teachers would be a disaster unless all people were excellently educated, which should be the primary goal of the educational system, but it's too hard.
However the educational reformers should have the right to call for an election if they cannot decide between 2 or more Professors.
It's a system that I haven't really well thought of and needs a lot of improvement though @Pseudo-Analysist
Since you say wisest, I assume these reformers aren't democratically elected? @Koninos
They are. They should be the 50 wisest and most well-educated and knowledgeable etc people in the sight of the country's population.
How is this decided upon?
Like a normal election. The candidates gather, present themselves, debates are organized and the elections happen. The 50 first are in the Educational Reforming Body.
So a +51% majority could appoint whoever they want?
Yes, but not exactly whoever they want.
There will be a body, elected from the people again, which sets the requirements that one needs to have in order to run for, say, the Educational Reforming Body. So the people can't elect a butcher for that Body's President.
So a +51% majority can appoint +25 smart people that would have their interests in mind.
Mhm, but take into account that the interests one can have on the educational sector are more or less limited.
manipulated the curricula is a very power weapon if you believe that education changes what people believe.
this is the reason why many right-wings in the US want to abolish the national education system
True, but as long as there are certain laws that guarantee certain values that the educational system must have (i.e. objectiveness), the educational system won't be corrupted.
Also public opinion is fluid, and it can change quickly. Elections should happen frequently.
who enforces these values?
I don't know how fluid opinions are. you may drift between niche positions, but switching broad political sides is rare.
The law, which is above all.
the law can stop me from committing a crime?
The law can veto a political Body's decision.
why do police officers exist?
The Educational Reforming Body cannot make the educational system subjective because that would be emergency elections.
There are crimes that police officers can control, and others that police officers can't control.
You won't call the police for an Impeachment, for example.
but the laws themselves can't control anything whatsoever.
if the President is fully impeached and he refuses to step down, men with guns will be called
who are the police officers of your educational standards?
Yeah I mean okay, of course and the Police, or even the army, will intervene if, say, the Educational Reforming Body refuses to step down. And they'll be all killed btw. But since it's unlikely to happen, you just summon the Body to court, to testify.
And there are no police officers dedicated to the educational sector.
yes, violence is unlikely to occur. What is more likely to occur is that the officials will turn a blind eye with enough political pressure
True. So um, I need to go study now actually, so I'll have to go away for the next few hours. It was really nice talking to ya, and I hope we can continue this conversation later. See ya, for now.

I know some people on here claim Stalin was anti Jew, thoughts?
@Eoppa That quote is taken way out of context. He isn't a semite, he is establishing as with most of his policies or sayings - discipline. Any sort of action that could make people take matters into their own hands (in this case, anti-semitism) in his eyes should be supressed.
Read up on Doctor's Plot, he had plans to purge the Jews in the bolshevik party and remove all of them from the CCCP
Makes sense
He was only anti-Jewish as far as the cosmopolitan laws were meant to be established meaning only those who supported various forms of anti-Soviet ideas. Jews were also only persecuted from a religious basis not racial. I would say the failure is the lack of racial persecution.
