| Message | The regulations are unnecesary. Competition and capitalism drives private schools to either do well or close down. Why should we waste taxpayer dollars on people enforcing the standards? |
| Date | 04:43:05, April 20, 2007 CET | From | Left Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Education Reform Act |
| Message | We should be willing to regulate them to ensure that people are well-taught. Even if competition will generally encourage schools to do well, the people that attend the schools that fail will be at a disadvantage through no fault of their own. |

| Message | Then they can choose and go to another school. That is what it means to have choices. Why should we badger schools and waste taxpayer dollars for something the capitalistic market will take care of for us? |
