Message	Oppose oppose oppose. Not the state's right to regulate a PRIVATE institution such as this. There are public schools that are alternatives and while we support a privatized education system, we'll concede to a private-public system so long as private schools aren't regulated.

Message	I oppose this proposal also. I believe that the current system is fine.

Message	Agreed, they are alternatives to the state system, but the state has a responcibility to the children tio give them the best education possible. A child who goes to a fundimentalist school and spends time learning relgious claptrap rather than mathematics is going to be at a severe disadvantage compared to someone who went through the state system. Rather than regulating what is taught, we simply wisih to make sure that all schools achieve the same minimum standard of performance.

Message	That child can then proceed, after going to that school, to get a proper education. It's not the government's business to interfere.

To	Debating the Private School Regulation
Message	One of the government's responcibilites is to level the playing field so that everyone has an equal chance. Allowing insane parents to disadvantage their children is not acceptable

From
To	Debating the Private School Regulation
Message	Further, government regulation and licencing would ensure that the school is safe and that the teachers are well qualified for their jobs

Date	not recorded
From	Libertarian Party of Valruzia
To	Debating the Private School Regulation
Message	Everyone does have an equal chance. You have the chance to go to public or private schools. Private schools that do not succeed in educating students will thus fail..

Date	not recorded
From
To	Debating the Private School Regulation
Message	Not at all... your parents decide what school you go to. Some religious schools, despite having inferior teaching, still manage to succeed. I don't see what your objection is, since government regulation will force private schools to perform better, thereby attracting a larger population. Education is a primary function of government, and government must have a say in the running of private schools.

Date	not recorded
From
To	Debating the Private School Regulation
Message	We will support this proposal.

Message	Pssht. Simple solution: Standardised national tests. Then publicly publish the rankings. Capitalism!

Date	not recorded
From	Liberal Democrats
To	Debating the Private School Regulation
Message	I'll support this proposal. And I'm against published rankings, because schools will only teach kids the things that are asked for in those tests, which is not proper education.

Date	not recorded
From
To	Debating the Private School Regulation
Message	Well? Make better tests. What are you paying them for, anyway? To sit around and do nothing?

Date	not recorded
From	Liberal Democrats
To	Debating the Private School Regulation
Message	Tests are an evaluation at one specific moment, they don't measure the intelligence nor knowledge of the student well.

Date	not recorded
From
To	Debating the Private School Regulation
Message	Depends on the test. I went through the IB system and had a 5 hour math exam that tested every bloody thing I knew (and a lot I didn't). nyway, I think we have a majority. Moving to voting!

Date	not recorded
From
To	Debating the Private School Regulation
Message	Even these tests can not judge everything. And it would force a very detailled schedule on every school. If a school wants to teach integration by Romberg instead of using the 100'000 rules, it wouldn't be possible.

Date	not recorded
From	Libertarian Party of Valruzia
To	Debating the Private School Regulation
Message	The thing is, education is for the individual, not the government. That is why we should give them choice instead of regulation and privacy infringement.
