| Message | Definitely not. It is wrong to allow the school to decide whether to impose their beliefs on pupils or not, basically, schools and religion should be compltely seperated. Article 2 - that would give schools the power to do anything they like, and not be penalised for it. We need a discipline system set up by the national government to restrict what schools can do regarding discipline. Overall, a definite no. |

| Message | It should be up to the school, the government should not be allowed to decide policy for individuals schools in this regards. And besides schemes like this could only be implemented if parents and teachers were to support the use of discipline and prayer in their schools. |

| Message | Article 2 we can support, but we shall vote no whilst article 1 remains. Article 1 should be in the church schools bill. It would be odd to have legal church schools, but it illegal for the teachers to lead prayers. |
