| Message | I see your point, the real means is to change the public school system to a specialised form, if this can be achieved in the public sphere rather than by private means I can probably ammend the bill. Thank you for your support Gregg Parrot: Education Spokesman |

| Message | \"In that case, perhaps a system of specialised charter schools is more appropriate. Schools of that nature I would be willing to support, but certainly not the privitisation of the public system.\" -John, Viscount Ansell Minister of Education |
| Date | 21:10:07, October 31, 2008 CET | From | Secular Imperialist Party | To | Debating the The Tripartite Act. Article 1 |
| Message | Perhaps it is the private sector that needs to be streamlined with the public. Making sure that all private schools adopt the same tripartite system and curriculum but maintain their own admissions policy. Creating the charter schools system I certainly concur with. |
