| Message | We may of not supported you on most of your other bills, but this one we do mostly. My only problem is article 4 banning private schools. But overall this is a historic bill. |

| Message | We are willing to drop the Article 4 as to promote fairness between the Government and Private Schools. However the SNP strongly believes that putting a price on Education greatly hinders education by putting a price on our children that there shouldn't be. Education should be free for all people and we should invest a great deal more money and time and effort into creating an education system that provides every child in the nation the best school possible so that they mall reach their goals in life. |
