| Message | No, we believe home schooling can never reach the same level of education by professional teachers. Apart from that a child might miss out immediate response, teamwork/motivation, communication skill, and not least new social contact. After all, if we regulate private schools, we cannot provide a new backdoor to slip out of quality education. |
| Date | 03:11:33, November 01, 2005 CET | From | United Centrists | To | Debating the Home School Legalization |
| Message | We do have more faith official school systems, though still firmly believe that parents should have the right to choose the method of schooling (whether it be public, private, or home-based). Besides, the number of homeschooled children would never be enough to throw the education system into chaos. |
