First of all, thanks so much for the advice!
1. I'll erase the scaling part - I was unsure of that part too. However, do you think the "perfect score" section fits with my argument?
2. I'll clear that up
3. Will definitely incorporate that in.. I had a feeling I needed more information there.
4. The reason I included Bosna was based purely on the fact I just came back from a holiday there. All my information was basically hearsay so I agree that it shouldn't be included. Yes I am aware - in my opinion the segregation is ridiculous (even if this is a little off topic :-P)
Really impressed with how humble you've been about all of the suggestions
1. it fits with your argument, it doesn't fit with your introduction. You could do a standalone speech about inequality in schools, or you can focus on how VCE is unfair in itself. Personally, I think you've got enough just to go for inequality in schools. Don't make it about VCE being unfair, make it about the system being unfair. Then your Hunger Games thing becomes perfect and it all sits nicely with your introduction.
3. It's not really about more information, it just gives you a really great opportunity to show off (and engage the audience). It brings an emotional element to the story and kicks up the rhetorical side of it.
4. There are aspects of the system that seem to work, but overall I don't think it does (though I have a friend who'd kill me for saying that hahaha). You're right, it is a bit bullshit. It was only meant to be temporary, but nobody can agree to changing it. Now the government just sits there and gets pissy with each other, because of the rotating presidency and the ethnic splits in the parliament. Jesi li iz Bosne?
