| Message | I don't know anyone who can give satisfactory lessons in all the subjects needed in the school. That's why we need so many teachers. This bill, if approved, would take our education to a lower level so the NUP will position itself against it. |
| Date | 22:26:41, August 20, 2007 CET | From | Technocratic Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Home Schooling Act |
| Message | The Technocratic Nationalist Party has little faith in the teaching ability of the average citizen. The current policy must remain intact so that Dorvik does not become a cesspool filled with useless science-hating troglodytes. |
| Date | 22:28:05, August 20, 2007 CET | From | Technocratic Nationalist Party | To | Debating the Home Schooling Act |
| Message | That may have been a bit harsh, but we've seen it before, and have no desire to see it again. |
| Date | 08:08:52, August 21, 2007 CET | From | Democratic Labour and Unionist Party | To | Debating the Home Schooling Act |
