| Message | By the time parents realise a school does not provide good education it's already too late. ;-) Besides, public schools already have competition from the private sector. |

| Message | Small number of private schools mean not a lot. Its not too late, schools have reputations to maintain and that they establish, parents choose schools by results, performance and reputation. Its not too late. If they think its a bad school there is nothing stopping them taking their kid out of one school and putting them in another which has space. |

| Message | But by the time they realise it is a bad school the child will already have to catch up with other children at his or her new school. Parents should not choose schools by results, performance, or reputation, they should be certain that, no matter what school they send their child to, their child will receive a good education. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
