Message | Which will cost to much in controlling the parents. This is an unneccesary idea |
Date | 16:52:29, April 09, 2006 CET | From | Liberal-Progressive Union | To | Debating the Home School Act -2212- |
Message | This has no effect on the cost if it's a public school because they receive the same amount of government funding anyway, which is funded through the taxes paid by the parents that prefer their child receive homeschooling. It's their choice to decide. |
Date | 00:45:38, April 10, 2006 CET | From | We Say So! Party | To | Debating the Home School Act -2212- |
Message | The choice is not the parents to make. The provision of schooling must be maintained to the highest standard, something a parent who has no background in teaching cannot be guaranteed to provide. We must guarantee that all children are capable of being taught the maximum that they can and home schooling does not allow the resources nor the social interaction that can only be guaranteed through a school system. |

Message | Why would a parent with no teaching background or higher education want to teach herself? Parents know what the best choice is for their own kids education and I have more faith in these parents to make up their own mind instead of a government hack telling them what is best. Personal choice shouldn't be underestimated and thought of as inferior to the great minds of government. |
