"I wish the public would pay for my kid to go to private school"

How about "No".

[–] Woofcat@lemmy.ca -4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I mean, one would argue that the money is for a child's education.. why do you care where it gets spent? We're currently in Ontario spending north of $12,500/per year per child and somehow that's underfunded. A class of 30 kids is getting $375,000/year. With that we hire 1 teacher and if we're lucky 2 EA's which would equal maybe $200k of that $375,000.. so I guess we just accept having $175,000/year in overhead per classroom.

I tend to agree, if you don’t like it you should be given a $5/year voucher to use at the private school of your choice.

Then you should vote with your feet, and go to a private school that requires you to pay 100% out-of-pocket.

The Parasite Class wants you to fight and argue in favour of school vouchers and private schools. It’s how they de-fund the entire system to force kids into religious indoctrination that promotes ignorance and bigotry. It’s the perfect Conservative Voter creation engine.
