   | Re: Discussion: Education Vouchers I've started writing mine. I'm waiting to hear from BNS on what his plan is about posting them or having someone moderate temporarily for us. |

| Re: Discussion: Education Vouchers I say BNS lost already just for the lack of paragraph breaks.  j/k |

| Re: Discussion: Education Vouchers I just have a small point to make... Why is it automatically accepted that if schools must compete against each other that they will all improve? As far as I can tell, this kind of competition leads to the same kind of target culture that has destroyed the UK's NHS over the past decade. Personally, I'm against putting schools in pseudo-business environment. Isn't the whole point of a public service to provide what businesses are unable to? |

| Re: Discussion: Education Vouchers You'll probably see my answer to that as the debate progresses, if not, remind me, and I'll answer that for you once the debate is over. |
