| Date | 12:12:56, January 03, 2006 CET | From | Plaid Comiwnyddol Rhyddiaeth | To | Debating the Charter School Act |
| Message | Seems that private charter schools are currently allowed, they are simply not allowed to operate on a for profit basis. |

| Message | It's bad enough that education is in private hands, without it being run as a money-making venture as well. |

| Message | Private schools should be able to make a profit. That will be their urge to perform better. Public schools lack incentives and will never achieve the urge to improve education. They only act when the state tells them to do so. Barmenistan deserves better.... |

| Message | This has NOTHING to do with private schools. |

| Message | Indeed, NEP is correct, Charter Schools are defined as "free, privately run, publicly funded schools" It seems that the BLP is wanting to allow for-profit corporations to have a certain "educational" loophole for public subsidies and provide a space for advertising, edutainment, and early access to learned brand loyalty in childrens formative years. |
