Eventually, Alexander the Great started to lose some of his power. A lot of his troops wanted to go home again, but Alexander kept pushing them to conquer more, thus losing their support. In one incident, while drunk, Alexander fought and killed his friend Clitus. At this point, he lost the trust from the already unhappy troops. Not only were some of his soldiers unhappy with him, but a lot of the Macedonians started to dislike him. This was caused by his adoption of Persian ways. Though he was pulling together his vast empire, the Macedonians felt they were losing their leader. Also by accepting his promised deification after his death, he started to feel as though he was a god while he was still living. He started self-worship to help unite his varied territories with a common religion, but he took it too far with prokynesis. Prokynesis is the act of bowing before someone, and Alexander had the people of his empire do so. After all this, Alexander still retained much of his power, but it would soon be taken away from him.

Creating more jobs in the education sector
There have been many construction and demolitions of buildings. So how can public funds be better utilised.
Here is my view:
Create more jobs in the education sector. By reducing the number of students in each class, more teachers can be recruited. Increase the number of subjects students can opt to take.

Goals in Education
What sort of goals do you want in an education system?
Here are the goals I would like to see in an education system.
A place where children are having fun.
A place where children can develop confidence and resourcefulness.
A place where children can have the choice to explore and experience the things and activities they are interested in.
A place where they learn to love and to care.
A place where they can learn to be creative.
A place where they can dream.
Did I say anything about getting As in their studies. No, but if they are happy and confident, the As will come without the tears and the frustrations. After all what are the As for?
