| Message | This is the only way we can ensure that all children have an equal education, and prevent some parents teaching their warped world views to their children. |
| Date | 14:42:40, August 24, 2007 CET | From | Bull Moose Party | To | Debating the Education (Home Schooling) Amendment Act |
| Message | I disagree. For some children, home schooling is the only cost-effecticve option for effective education. I am in favor of giving parents a choice in this manner. |
| Date | 17:02:15, August 24, 2007 CET | From | Greenish Liberal Democratic Socialists | To | Debating the Education (Home Schooling) Amendment Act |
| Message | There's no reason not to permit home schooling. Although you may personally prefer education at school (as would I), we believe the option should exist. As long as the children fulfill the same requirements and goals kids at school do, there shouldn't be any problem. |
