| Message | Why not? A well-regulated competition on this sector will surely not hurt. |

| Message | Well, we can let the rich folks pull their support out of the public schools, lowering the quality of education for the students whose parents cannot afford private schooling, or we can keep themoney where it will help the geatest number of people, and ensure that everyone, not just a select few, get a quality education. I'm not worried about private schools doing worse than the public, i'm just worried about punishing the poor students because all the rich students have left for private schools. the schools are better where the money is. keeping the money in the public schools helps everyone. |

| Message | I see your point, yet I think that a solid middle-class population won't go to private schools for the sole reason of the unbearable costs. We are dependent on the middle class earners, not on the upper class. |

| Message | We will only agree if there is a small number of private schools for relgious purposes. We believe that should be the only reason to have private schools. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
