| Message | THis will drastically reduce governemnt spending, allowing us to lower taxes. (because most private schools are nicer than public schools, it should also actually INCREASE the intelligence of our next generation.) |

| Message | I think this is too radical a change. This will make it difficult to ensure a consistent core curriculum, and will lead to differing qualities of schools in different areas. We would be willing to meet you part way, though, by lowering the restrictions on private schools and allowing them to operate alongside our fully funded public system. |

| Message | I dont see how this would bring LESS education - the profit of this business may be enough to create many schools. |

| Message | Yes but how would the poor be able to afford them> Even with the vouchers there would still be people who miss out. |
