So what do you think might happen Lisa if we closed down all the private schools? Do you believe the public system would cope? Socialism is great on paper Lisa, but in reality it is not a ideal way to live. If I was prepared to work hard and achieve, and wanted to send my children to a private school, because I considered it a good learning environment which I did, and it worked out well, I see no reason to go on a guilt trip. I paid a big tax, my wife contributed greatly to the school and general community, and I consider we were both good citizens. This public school versus private school is nothing more than class warfare, so beloved by the present PM, the reality is both types of schooling gives those that want to learn a education, its up to the kids and their parents just how far they want to go, public or private.
