There is a direct relationship between the fall in standards of building and their overall state in disrepair and the increase in government funding of private school infrastructure. Federal, State and Local government funding once mainly directed at public schools is now fragmented across many schooling types. This results in a specific lacl of ability for governments of all levels to deliever the sort of funding to public schools in the past.
All the BS about tax payers not subsidising middle-class private schools is just smoke screen.
If it is really just a matter of choice - then lets go ALL the way down that path and just divide the total amount spent on students by the number of students and give an equal amount to each child to submit to the school of their parents choice?
The reason ALL private school advocates don't agree with this fair and just method of dividing the education funding pie, is because it is just that - fair and just and that would mean private schools wouldn't be able to gouge funding allocatons through the various shady dealings and corrupt methods they use to acquire the extra funding they now do.
this would mean that public shools would receive less and private schools more. I dont know what you intended with your post but you very effectively destroyed your own positino. well done! No, I think you'll find that if the funding through grants from the federal government was simply divided up equally amongst the number of students then what you'd find is that public students would recieve more than they do now.
Not being able to read what I've clearly stated doesn't mean anything other than what I've said. Your assumption is just that - your assumption. It doesn't mean anything other than your private school debating skills aren't all they're cracked up to be.......
My "positino" is referential to the private school adherents'shifting paradigm. If the point put forward is one where it relates to fairness and equality then it stands to reason that all students should recieve equal funding - hence the standpoint where total sum divided by units produces equality toward all. If the reasoning of what is best for society however, is reliant upon choosing between allocating funds widely dispersed over church and charitable society profit earning entities to benefit societies better than say, allocating funds to a tightly audited, non-profit generating, community based, non-secular, non--racist, non-discriminatory public schooling sector. Then I'm all for the public schooling being funded to the exclusion of tax-payer funding being allocated to the private schools/religious organisations.
Cause let's be honest here the private schools are really no better or worse than the muslim madrash schools where misogy, racism and elitism is the basis of the school culture. What is that jesuit saying about "give me a boy between the age of........".
I earnestly believe that parents should always be given the choice to have their child educated byy whomever they see fit to handle the task. However I do not, and will never agree to the idea that some sections of the community should be able to sway the government into making exceptoional funding allocations primarily based around the pie in the sky reasoning that the government should subsidise it unless that subsidy is available to everyone equally ie if I want to home school then I should by rights be able to ask te government to allow me the tax concessions if I spend money on maintentance on the areas in my house used for schooling, electricity bills, canteens running costs, water and sewage bills as well as some of the associated vehicle running costs taking my kids to educational camps, sports activites etc, etc, etc - you are by now prolly getting a little miffed at the idea that "I" have the gall to suggest "I" recieve those deductions let alone actually recieve them. But I'm not finished yet - I have 10 children and my wife and I (we belong to the church of eternal fetility) are now in the process of procreating and will we hope have more childre before the others have finished their schooling. We have found that our home school now needs 3 new bedrooms, a sports stadium, a chapel and a swimming pool (the costs associated with running all our kids to and from the local public swimming pool [urgh] now justify lashing out and having a olympic pool in the bottom paddock. Why shouldn't we have access to te funding the private schools do?????? Almost to the tee the reasons you are now formulating in your head why my wife and I - and every other home schooling parent in the nation - shouldn't are the why I and most other people without kids don't agree with the public purse funding of religious schools.
There's prolly a few typo's - my apologies.
