Message | We will support this bill if you change article 2 where only low income families have covered costs, charter school funding regulation and development is left to local governments, and add funding of private schools to be left to local governments then I think that would be a good start for effective bipartisan support for freeing our children from the binds of government bureaucracy and giving them the ability to get higher quality education. |

Message | We have added the requested article regarding the funding of private schools. Regarding preschool, however, does the 自由党 wish to burden new families with having to pay for basic preschool education? New families already spend copious amounts of their income for their children. There should always be a public option for those who wish it. |

Message | OOC: What is a charter school, anyway? |
Date | 11:17:13, November 04, 2016 CET | From | Jiyū Party of Sekouo (自由党) | To | Debating the Educational Reform |
Message | A charter school is a independently run school but receives funds from the government there aren't to many of them but they tend to have the best grades in every country they are in despite the fact they receive less funds then public schools. They give the parents more choice and say in their children's education as well. |

Message | I see. Thank you. In that case, we would be open to allowing charter schools to be taught by local governments. However, we hope this would not allow creationism to be taught in schools, for example. |

Message | No, thank you this legislation should help give parents and children more power and better quality education. |
