| Message | We oppose. Isolated education omits arguably the most important part - education in social interaction. |

| Message | If they want to socialise, then they can choose to go to school. But for example even people with disabilities who are physically unable to go to school.....we shouldn't be in a position to tell them "no, you HAVE to go to school. You aren't allowed get educated in the comfort of your house". |

| Message | Home schooling does not mean unregulated schooling. If regular examinations of the students work and strict credit-guidelines for passing are applied, this would be a good alternative for those who want or need one. We support this proposal. |

| Message | We must echo the concerns of the RSVP, which seem to have been ignored by both the IP and PPP. It isn't that socialising is a pleasant aspect of the education system, but a vital one. Classrooms and books and teachers impart knowledge, perhaps, but scholl is also about learning to be a human being, and how to interact with others, manage emotions, and possibly the most critical part, forming our 'self'. These cannot be learned, or trained, or read. They must be experiences as part of a persons development, and to remove them risks permanent damage to our children. We can support this Bill, providing that the AMRLP lists acceptable reasons for 'opting out' (ill health etc) and what measures are to be taken to replace the lost development of the school environment. |

| Message | We find the concerns of the AM-LUC to be unfounded on any rational basis. Children wish to go outside and play and socialize no matter what, it does'nt matter that they do their homework in a social setting or at home, they are still human and have basic instinctual leanings. |
