Highest to lowest. Why do we give money to rich schools?

Spot

So the rich can separate their little bastards from the children of decent hard working Australian's and maintain their belief that money makes them superior....If the playing field was level do you think these spoilt little bastards would achieve anything without their parents (taxpayers) money to buy their education....When the need is outweighed by the greed it is the Government who are too blame....Let private schools fund their own lavish extravagance and maintain public funding for public schools only....Let the privileged enjoy the extravagance their money can buy and leave public funding for those who need it!!!

That proves Phil's point. The rich are delusional. They live in ivory towers shielded from the real world.

An American saying that references baseball: They're born on third base and go through life thinking they've hit a triple.

Just saying it the way it is Fred....WTF should my tax dollars pay for some elite school to have everything while most children go to public schools that are starved of funding....Priorities mate....If the rich want to eat cake let them pay for the privilege....Funding private institutions that are elite whilst ignoring the plight in the public sector is bullshit and a misappropriation of resources....More proof that we are being screwed by the elite to accept they are more deserving???

One would hope that those fees help teach students the correct way to use an apostrophe.

If I have one extraordinarily gifted racehorse which may be a champion. Then I would give it the very best of pasture.

I would actively exclude the slow horses and the frail and infirm horses from this prime pasture.

It would be lunacy not to shower every advantage on the most talented.

We do this with sport and the AIS.

So with academia, we should ensure our gifted students are not held back by the chodes
