| Message | Parents are not qualified (usually), and children need socialization. Public education should produce good students AND good citizens - homeschooling is bad at the first, and can't do the second, because homeschooled students lose significant time spent with their peers. |
| Date | 02:34:24, May 26, 2007 CET | From | Republican Party | To | Debating the Home Schooling Act |
| Message | But every student has the right to choose if he/she wants to be homeschooled or not. That is not the governments decision. |

| Message | Every kid I know that was home schooled grew up to be an arrogant selfish little brat. |

| Date | 02:10:58, May 27, 2007 CET | From | Nova Prospekt Party | To | Debating the Home Schooling Act |
| Message | Economics has taught us that government control and regulation of education is vital among other public services. We cannot abandon a tried and tested policy that is benefitting the youth of Telamon. We fully support maintaining standardised, verifiable and scrutinised education. We do not support this proposal. |
