By Plenary Sessions: Vadim Belobrovtsev

The tone is serious, concerned, and critical, emphasizing the severity of the situation (the lowest birth rate in history). Both statistical facts and emotional and rhetorical questions are used to underscore the inadequacy of the government's actions and the diminishing sense of security among families. The speaker appeals to the audience's values, referencing the endurance of the Estonian nation and the preamble to the constitution.

The rhetorical style is formal and skeptical, employing a logical appeal where ambitious goals are contrasted with past and present unfulfilled promises (e.g., the teachers' salary increase). The address is aimed at demanding direct accountability, asking the prime minister for assurance regarding the achievement of these goals.

The style is concerned and persuasive, utilizing both emotional appeals (the school as a vital community center, the interests of children) and logical argumentation (the need for an individual approach and investments). The speaker employs historical symbolism (the church, the school) and refers to current events, such as the naming of the Metsküla School director as Person of the Year, thereby underscoring the importance of the topic. The speech is structured and formal, aiming to warn against making hasty decisions.

The rhetorical style is confrontational and accusatory, especially towards the coalition and critical journalists, who are accused of branding the Centre Party as the guilty party. Emotionally charged terms are used ("voted down mindlessly," "in a rush"), and emphasis is placed on the logical connection between the adoption of an earlier law and the current problems.

The rhetorical style is concerned and urgent, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation with the phrase, "this is actually a very large number." Practical and direct questions are employed, demanding specific recommendations and solutions from those responsible (what they need to do, where replacements will be sourced). The tone is formal and analytical.

The rhetorical style is critical and directly confrontational, posing pointed questions to the minister regarding the fairness of the policy. Logical arguments and specific examples (such as Tallinn's 20 million euro loss) are employed to illustrate the magnitude of the damage. The tone remains formal, yet it carries an emotional charge, referencing the punishment of local governments for performing commendable work.

The rhetorical style is critical and pressing, especially concerning the rushed tax package and the long-ignored deficiencies of the education system. Logical arguments are employed, citing economic damage and the shortage of specialists, and the minister is addressed with specific questions. Finally, the ministry is advised to be more flexible and approach children individually.
